gifts



The other day I was sitting on the porch swing with Ashton and Dakota waiting for Ken to come home from school. There was a little breeze and it just felt so nice outside. We were just talking about simple things like the flowers and the grass and the airplanes flying overhead. Then out of the blue Dakota came to me and took my face in his hands, (you know how they do) and said "I give you the gift of a merry-go-round!" I thought how sweet is that. He wants me to have fun. But he didn't stop there. He then gave me the gift of a head to put on my shoulders. Wow, this kid is deep. He wants me to think. Once again he was passing out the gifts, he gave me the gift of a key. You know- to open doors and locks with. That could come in very handy from time to time. And lastly, he gave me the gift of a shirt. Also very handy from time to time. Such a sweet memory of my little Dakota. You just can't make this stuff up!
