22 Little Feet

22    little feet:

Ø  Ran excitedly all over the farm this summer  & scurried to the attic to find the toys.  Organization seized, extreme creativy and spontaneousness took over.

 

22 little feet:

Ø  Trampled the grass at our farm, destroying sonar lights, & dislodging rocks, running in and out of the screen door until there was no longer a screen

22 little feet:

Ø  With enthusiasm pedaled the John Deere tricycle begrudgingly giving their siblings a turn, ignoring the little old red tricycle that squeaks and is harder to pedal

22 little feet:

Ø  Jumped into the swimming pool, some cautious other thinking they were an Olympian, and others learning to swim or conquer fears

22 little feet:

Ø  Covered many acres searching for clues and treasurers on the annual clue hunt, some joining for the first time; the old pros wanting longer clue and more difficult hiding places
 

 

22 little hands:

Ø  Hugged our necks bringing indescribable joy

Ø  Left fingerprints everywhere and held on to Grandpa Jerry as he gave them 4-wheeler rides - a tiny one year old finger pointing to the window to say (if he could talk) "please take me outside and give me another ride".

 

22 little hands:

Ø  Designed the house with racetracks, dollhouses, or Lego creations, leaving a maze to walk through carefully

Ø  Picked the fruits or veggies in season & ate pancakes at local cafe

22 little hands:

Ø  Folded their hands to pray at mealtime and bedtime and others times in between some with little voices whispering or shouting up prayers from little hearts.

11 little hearts:

Ø  Are attached to ours and we are rich beyond measure
