A little fedora love, smiles and a beats pill...

I am WAY behind on posting pictures to my blog and plan to catch up in the near future but for now, I wanted to share two of my favorite valentines with you.

These two certainly have enough love and joy to go around and their smiles can light up any room. A few weeks ago we got a break in the weather and headed out to have some fun with our Valentine props Lily helped me put together.

Spencer is always a good sport but I'm sure the fact that I promised to take some pics of him with his new beats pill (a portable speaker) was an added incentive :))

Spencer was playing his favorite songs (to which Lily knows most all of the words) and she had a ball dancing around to the music.

They both are looking so grown up in these pictures and it reminds me how quickly time passes.  

Spencer is counting down the days until he gets his driver's permit and Lily becomes more independent daily.   

My heart overflows with love and gratitude for these two blessings God has given us and we wait with expectation for the little one God has chosen for our family.  Wouldn't that be a great Valentine's gift to receive today?    

Earlier this week I was soaking up some quiet time studying God's word and writing in my journal.  

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."  Colossians 3:2

Easier said than done in this world where so many "things" can easily distract me and take my eyes off course.  Life has been a little crazy lately and it's been awhile since I have stopped to rest in God's word and let His truth wash over me. 

When I make time to silence the noise of life I am reminded that when I invest my heart and my time in eternal things, I experience more of the fullness of God.  

Our family verse for the month is a great reminder of this truth.  

Above all else guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."  Proverbs 4:23

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Love isn't love until you give it away...who will you show some love to today?
