who is this guy?

the husband has finished yet another semester.  1 more to go... (for now...)


in true bobby fashion, he combined skill and creativity and created this beauty for one of his classes.

we have been thinking about building an abacus for one of our walls.  he loved the idea of kinetic art, and i thought, you know, that it would look good.  apparently we know where the talent lies in this marriage...


then when he had to do a project for his creativity class, just any old abacus wasn't going to cut it any more (in his mind) and the wheels began to turn.

my favorite toy in the doctor's office waiting room -random fact, i know- were those bead maze, roller coaster thing-a-ma-bobs.  he combined that with our dream of an abacus, creating a demonstration of chaos and order. there is even quite the word puzzle built in with history, our family, and who knows what else is in there.

yep.  i think it, and he,  are pretty great.

reminds me of geoff's byu days and taking sculpture classes in the construction buildings...i even got kicked out of the building because i wore my wedding ring in the shop. (1) geoff forgot to tell me and (2) i wasn't wearing my glasses & couldn't read the sign. (oh the memories!)

what a great project! pretty cool!
