February favorites 3 and 4

"Late February, and the air's so balmy snowdrops and crocuses might be fooled into early blooming. Then, the inevitable blizzard will come, blighting our harbingers of spring, and the numbed yards will go back undercover.  In Florida, it's strawberry season— shortcake, waffles, berries and cream will be penciled on the coffee shop menus."

-   Gail Mazur, The Idea of Florida During a Winter Thaw

Despite of truth found in this quote I love February and all the joy that it brings to my heart every year! here are two more of my favorite things that happened this month!

Josh's Birthday Meal and Birthday Cake

We had apple stuffed pork tenderloin with red cabbage and roasted red potatoes! for dessert we had an awesomely moist chocolate cake!What a blessing to have such a wonderful husband! I hope I can bless him just as much as he blesses me! 

Love you babe!

I can't believe that this is the last day of my beloved month-on to the next! 

I am excited to discover all the wonderful things that March has in store one of them being a visit from my dear little sister!

 “I have loved you with an everlasting love;
   I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3

One of my all time favorite verses-brings me peace and great joy when I meditate in it. We are blessed to have a wonderfully gracious and loving God! 

All my love to you all!

Knees and Toes...

Sammy does have yummy toes!

^"13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
      you formed me in my mother's womb.
   I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
      Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
      I worship in adoration—what a creation!
   You know me inside and out,
      you know every bone in my body;
   You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
      how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
   Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
      all the stages of my life were spread out before you,"

Psalm 139 (The Message)

Our Valentine's day- Feb Fave 2

A collage of our fun day! Josh surprised me with a a beautiful edible bouquet
and with out meaning to Sam and Josh were dressed alike!
 I made heart shaped sugar cookie pops and cookies also chocolate dipped strawberries! 

Song of Solomon 2 (The Message)

^3-4 As an apricot tree stands out in the forest, 

   my lover stands above the young men in town.

All I want is to sit in his shade, 

   to taste and savor his delicious love.

He took me home with him for a festive meal, 

   but his eyes feasted on me! 

 ^5-6 Oh! Give me something refreshing to eat—and quickly! 

   Apricots, raisins—anything. I'm about to faint with love!

His left hand cradles my head, 

   and his right arm encircles my waist! 

This is the effect my husband has on me! He did amazingly this Valentine's day!

 what a Joy to share it with Samuel Benjamin for the first time! For his treat he got Avocado and he loved it! Then he reached for the heart cookie pops! LOL

With all this Love in our home I know only one place it can come from-

From the Lord's never ending fountain of love. 

Did you give the Lord a Valentine as well this day?  if you did not think of it- then it is never too late-he awaits for you with open arms:

Song of Solomon 2 (The Message)

^10-14 Get up, my dear friend,
   fair and beautiful lover—come to me!
Look around you: Winter is over; 
   the winter rains are over, gone!
Spring flowers are in blossom all over. 
   The whole world's a choir—and singing!
Spring warblers are filling the forest 
   with sweet arpeggios.
Lilacs are exuberantly purple and perfumed, 
   and cherry trees fragrant with blossoms.
Oh, get up, dear friend,
   my fair and beautiful lover—come to me!
Come, my shy and modest dove—
   leave your seclusion, come out in the open.
Let me see your face,
   let me hear your voice.
For your voice is soothing
   and your face is ravishing.
