Oh, how this picture melts me like butter. I love this man! He is such a good daddy!
Like her two older brothers, Coree knew from an early age that books are worth more than gold. In this very room (before this red toddler bed that I shortly painted pink), when she was old enough to climb out of her crib...she would go to this bookshelf to the left in this picture, empty all of the books off of it, toss them one by one into her crib, and climb back in...where we would find her happily "reading" to herself.
Lately, since Coree's daddy has been deployed, she's the one "telling" him stories. Thanks to the world of Webkinz, Coree has become interested in writing about animals. Her specialty seems to be wolves...and she has quite the imagination for fantasy and amazing details as she delves into the minds of these packs. She emails her dad a few chapters at a time, which is a good thing, because while I can be a "report what I see" kind of writer...I have NO imagination for fantasy. Cliff's creativity and English degree help him to give her more valuable feedback than I could provide.
This is where the magic happens...
And here she is, in her early computer training. Who could have known ten years ago, what a familiar sight this would become! Yesterday, feeding virtual dogs newspapers and slippers...today, exposing their inner-most thoughts.
