What will she be when she grows up?
When I was pregnant with Ainsley I remember praying that she would have a beautiful singing voice. Why you ask? Well, my Dad was a professional singer back in the 50's. A real live famous crooner, that made you turn up the radio. I have always been in awe of his talent, and even more in awe of his humility about it. This gift of voice was passed down to both my brother and sister. Somehow, I was skipped when that talent was being passed out. So, I live vicariously through my daughter who seems to have a heart for music. The fun part, is she likes a variety of music from worship and praise songs, to Highschool Musical! Even more fun is that she loves to make up songs. A budding song writer in the family? Perhaps! The good news is Ainsley can carry a tune. Answered prayer! Is she the next Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill (well she was born in Nashville) or Nicolle Nordeman? Not sure, but she looks like a natural with the guitar in her hands. I guess it is time to invest in some lessons!Regardless of what she grows up to be, we will continue to pray that as parents we can realize what gifts she has and how we can help her learn to use them. For now, we get to have a front row seat at some great concerts in our house. Ainsley is one of our greatest gifts, and we feel very blessed to have her in our lives!

Diana,
Ainsley has such grace, what a beautiful little girl with so much ahead of her. A very sweet post. I love the picture with the guitar.

Ainsley totally looks like a natural. She is, however, missing the tip jar. I know her sweet music is music to your ears.
Cool story--especially about your dad--didn't know that. Even if you didn't get his singing voice, you have an abundance of other enviable talents and gifts.
Lots of love,
Lisa
Ainsley looks great with that guitar! There's nothing better than your child singing to you.
You have a beautiful family!
Sitting the with the guitar in hand she looks so comfortable and happy. I see so many parents out there driving their children to be this or that and it is so refreshing to read a post like this and know that God has a plan for Ainsley. Wouldn't it be nice for her to follow in your father's footsteps, but the true blessing is that she grow to do something with her life that gives her joy!

She sure looks at ease with a guitar in her lap! Look out Nashville!
LOVE the picture of Ainsley with the guitar...she sure does look like the next Faith Hill! I would love to hear her sing! :) She is so cute and how lucky to have gotten such a wonderful gift!
Diana,
She looks adorable!!! I love that post. Ainsley looks so natural and poised there.
I, too pray for my kids to follow their hearts and their talents. God gives us all unique gifts.
I just posted my first moviemaker project. Let me know what you think.
Hugs,
