Hands

Hands are pretty amazing, they can be used for good or bad. You can tell a lot about someone by looking at their hands, and I'm not talking about fortune telling. I mean if the person works with their hands they may be callused or dirty. We should want "clean hands and a pure heart," but I don't think that was literal. My hands never have long or manicured nails, with five kids it just isn't a priority. I think hands symbolize more than we realize, anyway, I just wanted to remember the way these little hands looked so I took a picture. It's Grace, Abby and me, all the girls.

This is Ammon's hand. He taught me some new terminology yesterday, "I got a monkey-bar sore," he said. I always just thought they were called blisters.
