Skills


This is Izzy's 2nd picture she has ever drawn...other than scribbles. Not to shabby! She carefully pointed out each person. Aunt Becca is my favorite - very Picassoesque.

I know it is so prosaic to post a picture of my kid's art and brag about how splendid the funky thing is, but for me it is the start of something magnificent. I value artistic ability in its various forms above most everything else. Is not creativity the optimum jumping point for almost all intellectual (and possibly athletic) endeavors? I work hard to instill a love for art, imagination and creativity. I hope my children will draw, invent, paint, play music, sing, run, jump, mold, build and write better than I ever will.
