I think I’ve made it clear that I’m married to an amazing guy. Not only is he the bravest man I know, he’s a quiet artist. He delights our kids with his unbelievable Play-Doh sculptures and pencil portraits and occasionally keeps himself awake in church sketching our pastor. (I never said he was perfect).

He has an eye for color and loves making things with his hands.

With a bit of copper, a dab of silver and more love than I deserve, he made this necklace for me for Valentine’s Day–a big surprise:

The word Upendo in Swahili means love.

He made this sculpted African copper necklace in honor of my upcoming trip to Kenya.

We also hope in the future to sell these gorgeous handcrafted necklaces to help pay for…….

our future adoption.
