Saturday morning saw the girls doting on Clarissa.
And in the evening Shauna, who arrived with Jeff on Friday, serenaded us on the couch with her ukulele, which she JUST started playing for the first time ever last month. I was blown away and delighted, but not the least bit surprised. I literally do not know anyone as creatively talented as Shauna. It doesn’t matter if it’s photography, crochet, art, any type of craft, or music–she is bursting at the seams with creative talent.
Ammon was so delighted that he sat still for all of her songs. He never sits still. This was amazing. Also, at the end when Abe took him to bed, Ammon looked intently at Shauna, sputtered a bunch of heartfelt gibberish that no one understood, and finally ended with “THANKS!!!!” while pointing excitedly at the ukulele. He shared and augmented all of our joy in that moment.
This is a song she composed for Jeff.
