Sam I Am

When Ginger was a few months old
Casey spent a Saturday afternoon working in the garage
on this;

Sam I am 4

At the time this piece of wood was our coffee table.
Casey noticed Ginger spent a lot of time lying on her back
looking up.
So he wanted to give her something to look at.
He took the pages from the Dr. Suess book Sam I Am
and modge podged them to the bottom of the table.
He mixed up the pages
and turned them into an analogy for the gospel.
And for a personal touch, you can find
three names on there;
Casey, Ali and Ginger Estelle Treese.

I know.
Totally sweet.

When he showed me I just looked at him awe struck.
it was so special and such a testament of the kind of father he is.
Ginger is so fortunate to have him for a dad.

Sam I am table 1

After Ginger started being more active we decided to
take the coffee table out of the living room.
Now that Sam I am piece of wood is sitting on two sawhorses.
And is used as a desk.
And Ginger is still captivated by it.

I've been reading every post.. and haven't been commenting. I used to comment on everything! I'll do so again because I've REALLY been enjoying your comments. :)

This is so incredibly sweet. And I love that he put it into a Gospel perspective! Someday when I come to your house (because I'm planning to (yes, I just invited myself)) I am going to lay on the floor with G and Naomi and read it. :)
