Dried Roses

Some photos I took recently of the pink roses I was given after delivering Acacia.

Other 'Hand' Photos from my archives

Wearing my baby

I recently purchased some material to use for a baby wrap to more easily 'wear' my baby!  This is a picture of Acacia that Eden took the other day while I was practicing my baby wearing skills.  Isn't she a cute little roo?

'I Love You' is on the tip of my tongue...

It's Valentine's Day!  As such it is the final day of Mama M's week long blog hop.  Today's blog...Ten things I love about my love!  And, in no particular order, ten of the (many) things I love about Russ.

1) I love how charming he is.  People just love him.  Get him in a situation where he's meeting new people and he'll just charm their socks off!

6) He is very generous...with his time as well as his possessions.

7) He takes time to make kids feel important.

8) He tells me how special I am to him, he holds me close, he encourages my interests, he spends time with me.

9) He is honest & trustworthy.

10) He chose me to be his lifelong partner in love!
