Valentine's Day ~ twenty-twelve

Sweet memories....

 Baking was actually done on Sunday. :)

Spent the day at Great Wolf Lodge.  

The kids LOVE that place!  

No pics taken today... 

we were too busy having fun!

Yesterday the dining room curtains were hung....

 I LOVE them. 

Much thanks to Beverly for making them. 

And for Mama~ for "making" it happen.

Lydia's spot

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; 

but the greatest of these is 

love.

1 Corintihians 13:13

We know love by this, 

that He laid down His life for us; 

and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

 1John 3:16

Kiltzing the red

The New Gray...

Planning to have drapes
made from this fabric

~ Insight into this fabric ~

I found this fabric on Etsy.  

(I ♡ Etsy.) 

I L♡VE this fabric. 

Yellow was Lydia's favorite color during her last days here on earth.  

Yellow personifies joy.  

Gray ~ her middle name, a family name passed to her. 

~ our little gray byrd ~  

I love these little gray sparrows.  

Reminds me of the song that echoes 

♪His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. ♪

 Oh, how He watches over us, 

protecting our souls as life's storms come and go.  

Yellow and gray,

joy mingled with sorrow. 

That's sums up my days.  

That's why I love this fabric.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High 

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Luke lost his first tooth today!

He's so excited.
