As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Valentine Tea Party



First of all, if this is the equivalent of looking at someone's endless slide show of their vacation pictures, feel free to exit and my feelings won't be hurt. But, personally, I feel the need to document this for those who might share my opinion that this is one of the cutest things ever. (I suppose that could be perceived as "grandmother talk" too. And that would be right.)

While Brian and Kristin went out for a Valentine lunch, the rest of us had a Valentine tea party, per Bekah's request. And what a grand time we had...all with dress-ups and our uptown voices and pinky fingers extended and pink heart cookies and plenty of sugar-and-cream and lots of "Kati Dah-ling, I believe we are out of cream" and "Kati Dah-ling, could I have another cup of tea?" And a certain little boy in his diaper because his clothes were in the dryer recovering from a spill. And some polite giggles when that same diapered boy carefully picked the chocolate drizzle off his cookie. Yes, it was grand.

  3. Cheryl, this is the most precious thing ever! Very Pooh-ish! Those cookies look like something straight out of a magazine! I just love the traditions of your household, and I love it that you share it with the rest of us through your pictures and through your sweet words. I feel like I have just stepped out of the pages of a lovely book.
