Fern's DNA

Our children are blessed (and cursed?) with a varied gene pool. We have musicians, artists, teachers, scientists, pilots, techy-nerds (I mean people with a high technical aptitude), lawyers, athletes, doctors, craftsmen and theologians. Most of the people in our family have several of these gifts (Chuck - if I can use him as an example and brag at the same time - is a great singer, great photographer, has a great mind for science and technology and has a freakish ability to tinker with/fix/build almost anything.).

It's been so much fun to watch Jack and his growing interests. He seems to have received the musical gene ("Momma, I'm a very good microphone player."), teacher gene ("Here is how you do dat - do you wanna twy?), and handyman gene ("Look at dat truck! Look at dose tools!"). I'm sure others will come forward later.

Ryker is starting to show his as well. The most noticeable one thus far? His Great Grandmother Fern's finger waggle. When he's feeding he will point a finger and wave it at me. If he picks up a cane I'm going to have to get therapy.

LOL...his middle name isn't "Kelly" for nothing! Just wait until he starts telling you where to place the ornaments on the tree ..."a little more to the left...no...a little higher...HIGHER...yes, that's right!" :)
