The "other" woman

This is the drawing our four year old made this week.
That's her, on the right...the bride. And the groom is Daddy. Note his eyes are in the shape of hearts, to denote the love.

I think her daddy will want to hang on this picture...pull it out and look at it on her real wedding day...

What a sweet picture, & yes I'm sure her daddy will want to hang on to that one so better start a folder if you don't have one. As I told you once, When I was little, I wanted to marry my big brother when I grew up. My dad was AWOL from the family at the time & even though he was only 12 years older, my brother was a great father figure, & became a great dad raising my neice & nephew when their mom died leaving a 6 month old nephew, & a 4 year old daughter.

These are the type of drawings our children make that mean the world to us. I've kept quite a few my sons drew when they were little and I often take them out to look at them:-) Love the way your daughter used little hearts for his eyes to denote love...smart little girl!! Hugs xox

Wow, her dress is gorgeous! And such a dapper-looking groom!

There's just something special about Daddys and Daughters. My husband actually was able to be the officiating minister at both of our girls' weddings, just as my father was at ours. It was wonderful.

Actually, I've seen her draw a little more elaborately but I still liked this more simple one because of content. ;)

But thank you...yes, her dress is quite lovely and the groom is rather handsome...I'm usually the jealous type, but I'll let her marry her daddy this once...:)

Oh my goodness is that adorable!!! You bring that out on her wedding day, I don't care if you have a man who never cries, this will melt any man giving up his daughter.....

Beautiful picture! My son always says that he's going to marry his sister.

How cute is that! It would be adorable framed as a bridal shower gift for your daughter. It seems way down the road, but Tammy times passes very quickly!!
hugs!

Awe, that is just such a precious little drawing your daughter did! I love the little heart eyes! *smile* Very cute and she most definitely does love her Daddy!

It would be so wonderful if you could put it away and remember it for the day when she gets married! ;o) lol

A very sweet picture and a definite keeper. Neither of our our four year olds can draw that well yet!

Laura said...

Oh, I love it! Yes, keep that in a safe place with the explanations written on it somewhere (if you haven't done that already). We have a comical picture of our soon-to-be-married son taken when he was 4 years old and saved all these years to give to his future wife. She'll get it after the honeymoon.

That belongs in a frame in a prominent place. Her daddy will protect her until that day. Sweet reminder for all of you. Makes me cry!

Adorable. It ought to be framed. What a special keepsake.

Linda said...

Those are the things we love to pull out years later and smile over. Sometimes there's a tear as well. Precious moments.

Barb said...

Oh my goodness, Tammy, hang on to this! Honestly, this will be a wonderful thing to display at that wedding someday. It's absolutely precious and I love, love the heart eyes. :-)

That is so cute--a keeper for sure!

Big Mama said...

That made me a little bit teary. It's just so sweet and yes, her daddy will treasure it always.

What a tribute to your husband! Children are so honest. To depict him that way is a real treasure.

Michelle said...

Oh I love that picture! You have to frame and keep that one!

What a precious picture! I think it needs a frame for Daddy's office. And I love your snowy pictures.

I'm envious that you have a little girl to knit with! My friend has taught two of her daughters to knit and it's been a great interest/obsession for them to share. It is definitely addictive though! :)

That is definitely a keeper! Better laminate it! Care Bear is an artist like that, at 4. She amazes me every day with her detailed drawings.

I'm so behind on reading, and have limited time because of the overload at work - no time for a blogging break! Hope I catch up soon.

I think you should save it for her big day and maybe frame it as a gift to both of them!!
Sweetness!!
:-D

You bring that picture out at her wedding, and there'll not be a dry eye in the house. I'm with the others: frame it!

That's so sweet, especially the heart shaped eyes.

Precious and every bit as artistic as a Miro! Frame it for sure -- don't forget to treat it right with a matte (or two).
