46 Chromosomes...

Today's sceince lesson: Did you know it takes 46 chromosomes to make a human??? You receive 23 from each parent. In our family we always joke about what traits we received from each parent. Last year we even made a chart for my parents describing what traits we received from them....it was hysterical. I'll summarize some of the traits I received from each parent - some good.....some not so much!

From my mom:
compassion
anxiety and worry (told you some not so good)
good complexion
love of bread and butter
late nights
reading
Love to have my hair played with!
Loud (!!)
Class

From my dad:
patriotism
lack of patience (ugh!)
It is the principle of the matter
great tans
stubborn
covert ops
organized
integrity

Now, the O Show is only 14 weeks old, but she is already exhibiting her chromosomal traits....here we go...

From me:
Hair playing for sure!
lack of patience (especially around feeding time)

From Al:
the only one that matters: THE NEWKIRK SLEEP GENE! Thank you Lord for answering my prayers!!

I am really interested to watch her grow and track her progress in this department. I know it will be fun to see what else she will end up with from us. I am hoping that we can weed out the "bad" genes and pass on the "good" ones!

The Bible says we are "all perfectly and wonderfully made". Who am I to question HIM?

In His Grip,
