On this Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d show you some things we LOVE…
I LOVE every kid in this picture! They are my heart. The one in the middle is opening her birthday present…
She LOVES her new camera! It’s just like her mama’s and she’s already drained the battery twice using it :)
How can you not LOVE this smile?!?! Abbey LOVES the fact that those braces are coming OFF in a month!
Lainey LOVED playing in shaving cream the other day! I LOVED that Marley and Payton were nice enough to clean it all up for me!Â
We all LOVE our homeschool co-op! Why? EJ gets to jam on stage with his guitar class during praise assembly…Marley is learning to cook from a local chef…Abbey is (today!) building a cement boat with her class…Payton’s drawing skills are improving like mad and, Lainey hangs out with her buds. Oh, and the senior high does this cool thing called “Wake Up” where they come to your house before sun-up, blow a very LOUD blowhorn, and video your reaction as you jolt out of bed wondering what in the blazes just happened. The boys were the lucky wake up recipients a while back and LOVED it. (Yes, us parents had to approve this).Â
Lainey LOVED her Valentine’s party at co-op yesterday. This is about half of her class.Â
She especially LOVED the cookie!
I totally LOVE this guy on my right. We celebrated Valentine’s day early with a fantastic dinner at the Melting Pot. (Good thing, too, since today I’m seriously battling a yucky cold).Â
And, lastly, I LOVE my blog…I really enjoy posting about our lives, however boring it can be…guess we wouldn’t make a very good sitcom! And I LOVE visiting all the other fantastic blogs of my friends. Happy Valentine’s everyone! I’ll blow you a kiss, so as not to spread my germs…Smmmooocha!!Â

I LOVE this blog…and everyone in it!!!!! Sorry about your cold…your dad joins you in it. He’s been taking Zicam and feels a bit better! Playing with shaving cream…I’ll have to run that by Leigh at Building Blocks and see if she thinks our toddlers would like it…OF COURSE they will, it’s just that do she and I feel like cleaning it up…we’ll have to get Marley & Payton up here for that! EJ, looking good on the guitar!! Abbey, I’m SURE you’re enjoying that Coolpix!! Happy Valentines to all of our favorite Florida family…We LOVE you!!! Granma & Granpa

How DID my son get so blessed when God picked you out to be his wife??? Of course I think Randy is pretty wonderful too. The picture of the two of you is so good.
Love the shaving cream idea, but don’t think I would like the “wake up” one. I may would spray that on the people waking me up !! I would love to see some of Payton’s art work. He must have inherited the artistic genes from his great-grandfather (PaPa) and his great aunt (Jackie). Plus I have a little bit of those genes too. LOL
Ethan will have to bring his guitar and play for me and PaPaul. You know how Paul loves his music.
Can’t wait to see that beautiful smile Abbey will have once the braces come off, but her smile is beautiful now.
As for sweet Lainey… have you “noticed” that she loves anything to do with food????
Love to you all on this Valentine’s Day.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Great blog entry! I love it! We just played with shaving cream the other day too! :) I posted some pictures! It got pretty wild! It was fun! I could have used some helpers like Marley & Peyton! Hope you are feeling better soon!

Thanks for your emails to Mark, and that thanks for sharing your heart and your lives. We all learn from you!

Very beautiful post! And how great that you had a night out without kids!!! Those are very special nights around my house. :-)

It’s me again…Is that Lainey’s long skirt, or Marley’s? Also, at first, I thought the boy to the left of Ethan playing guitars was Payton! One more thing…Abbey, is your baby picture in the necklace that you’re wearing? It looks like it!
I imagine you’re counting the days till “no more braces”!!! Love, Granma

Lots of questions, mom! Yes, it’s Lainey’s skirt – a size 4! It fits around the waist, but is a little long. She’ll hopefully grow taller and not wider ;) Yes, that’s Abbey’s baby pic in her necklace, she loves wearing that.
