Communication through ART

Ryan loves to draw!! She draws so much that now Luke will grab paper and a pin and draw along beside her (and walls unfortunately). It is like she has taught him that that is what life is all about and the only thing to do.

She also uses her drawings as away to tell me how she feels. When she is angry she will let me know. This is one of them. This was drawn when Matt was gone to Romania. I think I might have looked like that for two weeks while he was gone. It is probably a portrait of me.

She doesn't stay being mad at me long because she drew these quickly after. I don't even know why she was mad in the first place.

This is her drawing of a Temple. She was the "scripture story" for family night and she wanted it to be on Temples so she drew this. The funny thing is she told the story of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus while she held it up. Jesus getting baptised is her favorite story. She didn't have anything to say about the temple, only that she drew one. It was funny. I know there is a connection somewhere I just am still pondering about it......... She was probably connecting Jesus getting baptised story with doing baptisms for the dead in the Temple. Yeah! I bet that was it.

Anyway, I think she does a pretty good job. I think this is a drawing of her.
