Things from last week...

6th grade orchestra auditions are in 1 month.  Ben has been learning new scales & 5th position.  Love so see his progress.  A delightful care package from Vietnam arrived here this week.  We tried to read their local paper & decipher a receipt.  Didn't get very far obviously...the coconut candy was delicious!

Valentine's Day 2017

 Today...

I squeezed this kids tighter & gave them extra love.  We've had so many reminders of how fragile life is.  This is my day to give my best to Him and my family.

I wrote a few letters to remind others we love them so.

I drank my coffee black!!  I'm used to it now.  Day #26 of Whole30.  I'm certainly not doing it to lose weight, but glad for the surge in energy & deep sleep at night. 

I got wet...rain & damp cold as I walked to the boys' school for their parties.  Refreshing!

I won't get chocolates.  Rather unusual for me, I must admit.  I'll suffer through this one time.  I've slayed that sugar dragon!  Yay!!

Hope you are feeling loved today!
