These Are The Hands

  • These are the hands that work hard every day.
  • These are the hands that pick up Katarina and spin her around until she giggles.
  • These are the hands that help me do laundry. 
  • These are the hands that draw silly pictures and sign sweet cards for no reason at all.
  • These are the hands that get bugs...so I don't have to.
  • These are the hands that can turn into puppets with no warning.
  • These are the hands that make music that is beautiful.
  • These are the hands that I love....they are my husband's.

    That is beautiful! I especially love how they are the hands that can turn into puppets with no warning. To see dad's with their kids is such a precious thing.

    Happy SITS Saturday!

    Those are some hard-working hands! I gotta get me a pair of man hands that will do that kind of work. Maybe I can get a pair at Home Depot :)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and happy Saturday Sharefest!
