What do you think of the resemblance?


Today when I got home from work (a typical opening line for my Blog), Mary wanted Sarah to show me her painting from pre-school. She excitedly ran into her room and came out and informed me that she had painted a picture of "President [Gordon B.] Hinckley", the current prophet of our church. She's quite an artist but this is the first time that she's ever tried to depict him and she didn't have any kind of a reference picture or anything... this was straight from her memory with no prompting from us. So cute that she's thinking of such a wonderful, exemplary man of God while she's at pre-school. Her pre-school leaders, who are not LDS, were quite impressed with her painting abilities. So were we, to say the least. Sarah is almost 4.5 years old and her little artistic skills are really budding and she has loved her homemade "art kit" from Christmas. Gotta love the nose, the glasses and the little bit of hair on top.
