Whitney entered the Reflections contest at school this year. It was a first for our family. The theme for this year: "Beauty is..." She did a watercolor of a tree and rainbow.
Our little artist made it through to the county level. Way to go, Miss Whit! Only two paintings from her age group went through, so we were very proud of her.
For Christmas, Brandon gave Andrew and me a book of original poetry. Here is a sampling.
Limerick
North Carolina is my state
The people there are really great
there are mountains big and tall
at the beach we have a ball
I'm going soon and i cant wait
Triplet
I love my family you will see
they will never buy a wii
but they take me to the sea
Clerinew
dad is the best
he never rests
we love to play
and he never goes away
Acrostic
Always at home
Nice
Dr. Dre is her nickname
Rocks at cooking
Eats only low-sugar stuff
A fun person
I love this kid.

Those are great poems! Your nickname is Dr. Dre? And going to the sea is much better than buying a Wii.
Great painting, Whit!
Whoa!!! Your blog look has changed! I love the new family picture and you've added links...how fun!!!
Wow, I am impressed with your budding artists. I learned a lot about you guys from B's poetry.
brandon,
i love that you said your mom rocks at cooking. maybe one day my kids will say that to me, too. then they'll go out in the real world and realize how untrue that is.
love,
shelley
Congrats to Whit & those are some great poems. Talented kids, they take after their parents!

Of you
Nice people.
Those poems are awesome! This is a side of B I never knew existed. And Whit's picture is so good! Way to go!
Brandon's little book of poetry was one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. It's so fun to watch Whit paint, draw, dance and be creative. She must have picked that one up from your end of the DNA chain. But when she ends up six foot six, we can blame me for that.
Speaking of artistic, I love your new blog banner with the black and white picture of you guys!

Love it! Talented kids.
Amy--I had a couple of high school friends who called me Dre and every once in a while Andrew will call me Dr. Dre. I thought it was hilarious that B picked up on that.
Grandpa--Maybe Brandon got his poetic side from you!
Lovely artwork and fantastic poetry! My favorite was the "no wii" one, heehee! Apparently I'm the parent of the ONLY child in the first AND second grades who won't buy her child some sort of electronic gaming device... :)
