I Love ... Part 3

I had to look back to see how long ago I had posted an "I love" entry. Um. It was back in May of '09. Oops. I guess I got a bit behind. I didn't intentionally leave it by the wayside, I just sort of forgot. Then again, who wants to read boring ole lists anyways? So let's do this a bit different....no more lists. 

I love this girl with all of my heart, and then some. She has such a big heart. She is kind and warm. Compassionate. Honest and respectful. She loves any and all animals. Unfortunately she gets her fear of spiders from me. She doesn't mind having someone smoosh those...lol. She is funny and playful and a total dork. She fits right in. I love her. 

 

My little man. I love him so. He's my Bug. He's a total momma's boy and I let him be. Today I took him to a birthday party. He was going to get to play laser tag with all of his buddies. We arrived and he took off to play while I touched base with the parents and before I left, I wanted to say a quick goodbye. He is 8 (almost 9) and he was with all his friends so I was gonna be the "cool mom" and give him a high five and be on my way so he didn't get embarrassed. Before I could even get my hand in the air, he had his arms outstretched for a hug and wrapped around me. I bent down to tell him to have a good time and he kissed my cheek. He melts my heart.

I even still love him when he beats the pants off of me in a game and makes these kinds of faces at me! :D

Quilting. I've dabbled in it for years, but over the last year or so I've really found my place in it. There are a lot of things I don't know and there's always room for practice and improvement, but I'm loving it more and more. Especially with this pinwheel quilt a long I am in. A new block each Saturday until we have 16 blocks. We are half way there already.  I will actually be adding 9 more blocks of my own that will be different as well as the mini-pinwheels in the sashing. I just have to wait to see what other blocks she has up her sleeves. :)  Here is her original sampler.

This weeks blocks. :)

 

Lastly and also fitting... this movie. I adore it. Each and every time I watch it. I've probably seen it at least 30 times and I still laugh at the funny parts and cry at the sad ones. It just never gets old.

This is probably my favourite scene (well, besides the JDM backside shot..yah!).  I wish I could find a longer version of it that extends to their first kiss.  The entire scene is sweet, endearing and funny. I suggest you just go and watch the whole movie. I mean, I watched it again tonight. Twice. :)



P. S.... I love you .....
