Mid-week checking in...

There wasn't a "fun things" posted this week, but it was a blessed weekend at home for us. With Valentine's on the horizon, the "lubby-dubby" stuff was all around. Here's some sweetness, some randomness and some just because-ness...

Friday flowers from Seth ~ he said they reminded him of me & Ella (sigh)

Adoring looks for big brother John - if "in loving awe" faces got any sweeter...

Photobucket

Lots of "look Ella!" ~ accompanied w.singing, dancing & smiles ~ the loving adoration runs both ways...

Photobucket

Dueling crockpots = smelling good Sundays = the only way we get a home-cooked meal on busy weeknights (thank you whoever invented crockpots!)...

Photobucket

Even though we said "no gifts" - got my Valentine a book, "The Way You Look Tonight" (this song carries so much meaning that I'll save for a future blog entry) that was an 80 cents "junk find". I believe God put this in my scavenging path - I added lots of pink, "I like" hearts throughout....foreword by Ol' Blue Eyes himself:

I believe the most important thing to look for in a woman is a sense of humor. Make her feel appreciated. Make her feel beautiful. If you practice long enough, you will know when you get it right.

Looking around house at some "loving" reminders ~ this one about sunshine sits appropriately in the kitchen window...

God gives us sunshine so it is easy for us to see what is important.

This Story People (that had to have been written for us) hangs in the kitchen as you look into the living room...

If I love you with all my heart, she said, what will you give me? & then she stopped & said I didn't have to answer that because she was going to do it anyway.

Photobucket

My makeshift recipe holder ~ I like the sentiments it conveys...insert cooking analogy ~ these are the "meat & potatoes" of it all...

Family ~ Love ~ Trust ~ Grow

Photobucket

The newly organized fridge, just as "cluttered" and blessedly full of happy reminders...

Photobucket

Sweet treats

Looking forward to having a weekend of warm sunshine, super-sized sleepovers, adult bevs, good music, lots of laughter and celebratin' the "cat's meow" of mamas (sigh)...

Photobucket

And some lil' tidbits for your viewing pleasure...





Happy Hump Day!
