Tuesday's Treasure

Been feeling lately that I need to step out side of my own little world. Had an idea to highlight an organization that helps others in need each week. I would love for you to join in praying for these "treasures" that demonstrate the love of Christ.

To start things off, I wanted to give you link to a site that will hopefully remind you how much need is really out there and much we really have.  

Nevermind the Joneses.

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner

I just won my first blog giveaway!  I'm very excited and I won a cd from this site!

This is what one of the authors of We Are Grafted In has to say about Seeds of Worship.

These CDs, which are also available on iTunes, totally rock, and I mean that literally and figuratively. The band takes great Bible verses and sets them to great music. After listening to them, God’s word will be hidden in your child’s heart – and yours. Because get this – are you sitting down – I find myself listening (and jamming and singing very loudly) to Seeds even when my kids are not in the car.

I chose this cd.

Something else amazing about Seeds Family Worship - when you order a cd, they give you 2 so that you can pass one on to someone else.  You can be a part of planting seeds!

Max's 1st Swim

Went to Grand Rapids to see my sister and boys while my bro-in-law was out of town.  Loved seeing them.  Loved making a memory of Max's first pool experience.

Valentine's Day

Wes and my first Valentine's day together consisted of a homemade meal, tulips (favorite flower), Skittles (favorite candy), a horse and carriage ride all done by Wes.  I decorated his dorm room with balloons attached with little cards that said what I loved about him.  ( I hadn't said, "I love you" yet, so this is the closest I got.)

These days, we don't do much for Valentine's Day.  (Wes just read this and said it sounds depressing.) However I did do an experimental Valentine's Day treat that I thought Wes might enjoy.

butter frosting and a dollop of jelly

And I also did - what I thought was a - genius photo shoot of our favorite valentine...  

After this awesome idea I had, I went to download the pictures onto the computer, leaving Max to play with his toy train.  Heard him cough, went to check on him and found this.

tape doesn't go down as easily as paper...

Not going to win any Mom of the Year awards.  In all of my excitement, I failed to remove my "genius" addition on Max's shirt...

Wes - I love you and I'm so glad you love me.
