Wow, Two in One Day!

It's been 16 years now since Steve started writing his letters.

For anyone who doesn't know, Steve started writing letters of appreciation, admiration and thanks 16 years ago.

In this picture, Steve is holding one of the three-ring binders he uses to put copies of the letters he writes and any responses he gets. Though he doesn't write letters to get responses, and one of the "rules" of writing his letters is to never ask for anything, he does get some neat ones.

Steve has two binders for each year. It may be hard to have the shelf space for them all, but they are fun to look through. He writes to all sorts of people. Anyone from Nobel Prize winners, to authors, actors, journalist, national leaders (of all nations), old teachers and leaders, family and friends etc.

We all like being acknowledged for the good things we do and to be appreciated for our talents. I am personally very proud of my husband who is one of the few I know of that actually do this. :)

Another Proud Parent Moment!

I know you have all been waiting, and I'm sorry it has taken so long to get this post up, but here it is.

Our blossoming artist, Cubby, had her "anime" drawing from art class chosen to be displayed at the district wide school art show at the mall.

Here she is, with her work of art at the art fair.

Cubby has her sites set on becoming a cartoonist. She is off to a great start. She has a fun style and is refining it all the time.

We're real proud of our little artist. She is in good company as you know, being the latest in a line of talented artists in our family!

It could just be us, be Steve and I couldn't help but think that Cubby's was the best in the display for her school.
