Family Portraits

Some of you may be disappointed when you open this post. No, we did not have real family portraits taken, although we are due to have them done. I did have to share these pictures the girls have drawn in the last couple of months, though.

From left to right: Grant, Arianna, Emma, Kenneth and Heidi
Emma was given this sheet of paper with a picture of the temple on it in Primary. They were to take it home and draw a picture of their family in front of the temple- reminding them that their family is forever. This was a couple of months ago that she drew this and I am amazed at how much more advanced she has gotten in her drawing skills since then! Notice she has all the eye colors correct. And I love Emma's long hair she drew.


Another of Emma's portraits. See what I mean about her skills really improving! She told me this was the picture we took on Easter by the flowering tree at Church. Interesting that she has already forgotten that Daddy didn't have hair in that picture! I love how I am floating in the air!
Notice Grant's orange shirt with black stripes. In Arianna's pictures to follow, you will she he is in the same shirt. What is funny is that Grant doesn't even have a shirt like that! The closest one I can think of is an orange plaid shirt. Funny.


This is the day she was remembering.

This one is an Arianna original. Also by the flowering tree at Church. When I asked her where Grant was she pointed to that big orange spot in my belly and said he was still in there. (Hey- Grant was even wearing orange in my belly- haha) I love the faces.

Another Arianna picture, autographed even, as you can see. Also by the flowering tree at Church- they were on a roll with this one! This time, left to right we have: Emma, Grant, Mom (me), Arianna, Dad and a visitor mommy. (Yeah- weird. When I asked her more about that she said the name of one of my friends who is in the preschool co-op with us.) At least Kenneth and I are the ones holding hands! Notice Grant's orange shirt with black stripes.

Another Arianna drawing. I sure am tall in this one! Left to right: Emma, Grant, Heidi, Dad, Arianna. I would be very interested in hearing a psychologists view of these.

There you have it. Hope you enjoyed these like I did!
