day fifteen...

*oops! I skipped a day*

So, day fifteen is about something I love. It does not express any love toward me or anyone else. But I love it all the same. Twisted Peppermint from Bath&Body is addictive. I love the lotions. And the antibacterial. And the shower gel. (yes, I bought them all!) But most of all, I love the candle. It is amazing! So amazing that I am almost saddened now that I have to throw my last jar away. There's always next year to stock up...

day sixteen...

Spring is coming! I love spring. We had a teaser of a day in the middle of February. One of those days when you want to purge all of the winter clothes out of the kids' drawers. So we went for a walk to the grocery store. Amelia and Nora splashed in the puddles. Spring is coming. It will just take a month or so of cold weather before it truly gets here...

day fourteen...

A special breakfast...

An unprompted Valentine from my girlie...

My new locket from my favorite Valentine. Love all around...

But what seems to be an easy picture of love for today was the act I hadn't even planned on. As I drove Calla-girl to school this morning, my van died in the parking lot. My ever-faithful father-in-law came to my rescue. This was the first time he had driven since his chemo treatments started. All to bail me out. The love shown to me by this man was overwhelming. My in-laws are the most selfless people. They are always willing to give of their time and their efforts.

True love...

day thirteen...

*what? no picture? that's right, I have officially failed...*

We had a Chinese feast prepared by the men in the church. I am not a fan of Chinese food. I have eaten Chinese food twice in my life. We, as a family, were fearful of the fare we would be given. It was...well, not so bad. I had the plainest of the plain. Fried rice and chicken without the sauce. Here's to sucking it up and just eating something out of my comfort zone. Culver's was a very tempting option.

The love for today was in the after church visit to my brother-in-law's house. Our family is among our closest friends. We can sit comfortably and chat and relax while our kids run rampant through the halls. Now, that's love...

day twelve...

For a contest at my hubby's work, we had to write 10 positive things about our teammates. I received this list on Friday. I am assuming numbers 2 and 3 are not about me. Probably not number 9 either. This list will be a treasure to me. I may have him write it down in his own hand, so I can keep it...

revealed...

The outfit I was making for the girls was the Jessie doll outfit from Toy Story. I think it turned out adorable! And Amelia loves it! Success...

day eleven...

I love that our kids are able to grow up around cousins. I love that Grandma and Grandpa are our favorite babysitters. Lots of love was shown for our five year olds at their Winter Wonderland birthday party. We're excited to see what year number five will bring for these three...
