Oh how we love this handsome teenager. Cash was the only one who came for for piano lesson the day before Valentine's Day. Grey was busy making a Valentines box for school. Cash and I went shopping at the outlet stores. I wasn't sure what to get him for Valentine's Day so I was happy he found a pair of shoes he liked. He was wearing a size 9 and the new shoes are a 10 1/2! We always enjoy having one on one time with Cash. I made chicken noodle soup and we had strawberry shortcake for dessert. As always after the lesson we played a few games, laughed, and talked.
I had the sweetest date for lunch on Valentines Day. Grahm wanted to go the JCW's, usually he wants to eat at Costa Vida. He is so smart and we have the best conversations. He asked me if I knew what sin is. I told him I did and that we can be forgiven of our sins because of Jesus. He then perfectly explained how Jesus died on the cross and that He did that because He loves us. Grahm said, "I have sins." But he knows he can say he's sorry and try to do better.
We also went shopping and he chose a dragon for his Valentines gift. He really is so delightful.
I took Grahm home, he wanted to have a tea party, and we played a few games while Mark and Tiff had a quick Valentine's lunch. He also sang the Cedar Ridge school song for me! He's something else.
Christopher sent a basket of Valentine goodies. He's ever thoughtful and it was nice surprise.
Later in the evening the door bell rang and I got another wonderful surprise. Mark brought Colby, Grey, and Grahm over. They had practiced a little presentation complete with gifts and handwritten notes. Colby said, "I bring you gold", Grey said, "I bring you myrrh", and Grahm said, "Frank-sent-this. Get it?... it was so funny. Grahm was a little confused and said, "Dad told me to say that." I enjoyed trying some new tea flavors and the chocolate is delicious! I got lots of hugs and felt very loved. What a sweet gesture!
