Our Early Valentine's Party

Micaiah and Miriam came over on Wednesday for lunch and to prepare for our Valentine's Party (we had to have it early because we couldn't find another free night :-( ). Anyway, we had fun making cookies and blowing up balloons! The ticket to get in was to wear something "red". You can see that Tim got out his Tintin ties for the big occasion!


After supper we went down to the salle and played some games-- girls against the boys. The boys won the first game (finding the candy) but Tim seems to have suffered for the victory. However, when it came to speed and skill, the girls tromped them!





Back upstairs for dessert and some presents. Mimi was spoiled with a watch, necklace and earring set from Papi! Wish the rest of you were close enough to have joined us!

Valentine's Day in Rockford... 2009

I know that it's almost a week later, but we had so much fun on Patience's day off of school last Friday that we wanted to show you what we did.  We make it our Valentine's Day, since Bob took me out on a double date Valentine's night with free babysitting at church!!  As you can see in the pictures I am going to be out of a job when these great kids grow up and take over the kitchen!!  It was a FUN day!!

On a Mission of Love

This afternoon, Viviane and I took a heart shaped CCC cake over to each of our college students and to Jonathan and Maria Baker and Grant Christy. We didn't get to see everyone, but we did get to see the Foster girls, and Henry, and Maria! I was soooooo excited to see Maria. She hasn't changed at all except for being a little bit older. Same sweet sweet Maria! (Sorry, I was so excited to see her that I forgot to take her picture!) Viviane was a little apprehensive about the act of showing love to "strangers", but being the good MK that she is, she jumped right in and did her part! It was fun!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

You 10 people are the most important people on the planet to me. Thank you for being such wonderful examples of God's love demostrated in earthly form. I love you all dearly and your wonderful children. Have a wonderful day!
