I have seen my son become a budding artist with a creative brain that astounds me with all that it can conjure and create. He plays the saxophone and is generally one of the most thoughtful people I know. On the other side of the coin, he is still Ben . . . always in motion, with an activity on his brain or in his hands. I have seen him turn a cardboard box into a desk, literally swing on his pull up bar into some type of flip, and complete a variety of "life hacks" in his room (can you say bread ties as cord keepers.) He has grown so much, but the crazy little boy that couldn't sit still for one television show still reigns supreme.
Grace has developed the most beautiful voice and has accomplished great feats in choir, from all region to just recently all state here in Georgia. She is dedicated to her music and has even started teaching herself piano. She loves school and her friends and strives for that A in every class (she is her mother's daughter.) She is a social butterfly and shows kindness to others that makes her friends and her family adore her. On the other side of the coin, my little princess still drinks chocolate milk, eats cheese, grapes, and chicken exclusively and still hates all sauces of any kind. She is studious and loves to read and when she is into something she is IN to it. When she was little it was the Disney Princesses, now, its Riverdale. Ask her anything and she can tell you. There isn't a video, interview or post she hasn't seen. She is the ultimate fan.
My babies bring amazing joy to my life and as any proud mom would, I had to take a moment to put down in writing . . for posterity . . . what amazing people they are. They are gifts that God blessed me with and I cherish them so much.
