Day 18: A Talent

Tony: Mom says I am talented at everything, so I guess I am. As I contemplate this day I realize how talented my children are and how many opportunities they had to expand on those talents. But I guess this is not about them. My Talents.... hmmmm. I guess I have an athletic ability to perform well in just about any type of sports activity. I get along well with people and I am able to listen when they need it. I try to fix problems which sometimes works out and sometimes not. But mostly I have a talent of adoring my beautiful wife and admiring her talents. Lisa: I have the ability to look at a home and turn it into a warm comfortable place to live. I have the talent to know the truth of a situation and am able to look beyond the surface. (dad wrote this one. Mom can always tell when the kids are being less than truthfull).

Day 17: An Art Piece

Our favorite artist is Hannah Marie Behrend. These are a few of our favorite pieces. This is a portrait of Tony and Lisa in our clown suits. Notice the dots on our arms and legs, these are elbows and knees. If you look close there is a little person inbetween us. This is Hannah. She was three when this was drawn. This is one of my all time favorites. Hannah drew this one day while sitting across from Papa while he was working. Love the glasses! She was about four. The most recent addition to our collection we recieved on spring break. From left to right-Hannah, Jess, Papa, Nana, and Mike. Notice Mike's cowl-lick. Also the similarities in our outfits (Mine and Tonys and Mike, Jess, and Hannahs) The scanner cut off the edgeso it is a little hard to read. "On spring break my grandparents came over to our house."
