Love Thursday - A Big Sister's Love

I look outside today and it is cold and windy and shake my head b/c yesterday we were able to play out on the back deck, with NO jackets! In yesterday's post I mentioned how Piper was such a little mama with Violet while she is learning all the ropes of being a mobile toddler. What I didn't say was what a lover she is with her baby sister too. This photo was shot after Violet fell and Piper ran over to "kiss it" which is happening SO much over here right now. To a 2 year old I guess that everything feels better after a kiss - heck, her 36 year old mama feels that way too though.

Now, I am going to go and check out some other blogs that are participating in Love Thursday, you should too!

Love Thursday - (Friday Edition)

Yesterday was a long day and I actually didn't even know about "Love Thursday" until later last night. I laughed b/c all day Thursday I felt so much love from my family and friends. My old friend Beth called in the morning and I had a nice conversation with her while Violet slept. Piper gave me so many unexpected hugs and kisses yesterday it was so sweet. The icing on my "love" day came however when my husband got home from work with a bouquet of flowers behind his back announcing "Happy Thursday" to me and the girls. Since he is working such long hours I wanted to wait until this morning to take a picture of the flowers (which I ALWAYS do b/c I am a dork that way) and after taking about 6 pictures came in to put them on the computer and submit to Shutter Sisters for my Love Thursday Post. To my surprise the picture that I thought would be the perfect one actually wasn't, the one that I am choosing as my submission shows my love for many things all in 1 shot!

The flowers show the love in my marriage, the cup is my love of good coffee, the basket holds a bundle of cloth napkins and that represents my love for Mother Earth, and finally you can see my Violet's booster in the background - my girls are the loves of my life! So there, I am so not in the same league as the ladies at Shutter Sisters but I try :)
