First Valentine's Day


OK so Valentine's Day is like Christmas in our household. Four of the six of us all celebrate birthdays within 15 days. Thus Valentine's Day could almost go unnoticed. ALMOST. Nope, we celebrate it big. Randy is my sweetheart and pampers me every year. I'm thankful for my prince! Every kiddo gets a special Valentine card and treat. Yep, it's pretty festive in February here...lots of CAKE and CUPCAKES abound. So if you have a sweet-tooth, your chances are good here for 28-days.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3 17b-19

After that we drove to downtown Dallas to check out The Crow Collection of Asian Art. It was a murky day with lots of low rain clouds and drizzle; exactly like it was this very day in Guanghzhou last year! Exactly. We parked and walked the streets of downtown, which really could have been any major city in the world at that point. The skyscrapers were masked with th...

"Cupcake" For DS

So today as I'm spending a few hours writing up our report for our 1-year post adoption appointment with our case worker, Rachel is off to the side "using her imagination". Such a proud Mommy I am. My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!
