Hope you are having a lovely Friday and Valentine’s Day. This is my catch-up post for this past week and the month of February so far with photos I’ve taken and photos that were sent to me. Trader Joe’s tulips were too pretty to pass up last Friday and after pulling my Valentine’s Day bin down I found the sparkly hearts to add to the bouquet.
When we were at Costco a couple trips ago the adidas warm-up sets were $10 and a set in size 6 made it into our cart. JJ is growing right on schedule into size 6!
Basketball is going on this winter and Baba finally made it to a practice.
My sister and her hubby flew into Seattle to surprise a close friend who was turning 50 and they had a bonus visit with our West side kids. Makes me happy to see them all together. They had a great time and sent us photos to prove it!
The first puzzles of 2025 got started and finished in the last couple of weeks.
JJ and I finished this glow in the dark puzzle during our Monday afternoon time. Later when it got dark we checked to see if it was glowing and it was. Woohoo!
This farm seasons quilt puzzle was a fun one to do. I finished it earlier this week.
A few close-ups showing the 4 seasons.
Addy and JJ went to a birthday party at Flying Squirrel in Spokane a couple weeks ago and we were sent these photos.
Tonight Addy and JJ are being dropped off at Gramps and Baba’s for dinner and a movie. Their parents are going to have some uninterrupted time together for a few hours.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. May love fill your hearts and minds and actions!

You are blessed with a beautiful family, wonderful photos.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Have a great day and a happy weekend.
…have a lovely day!
It always makes my heart happy when I see our family get together
What a sweet post, Ellen. Those tulips are beautiful. I wish we had a Trader Joe’s around us. Your grandchildren are growing up so fast.
Happy Valentine’s Day Ellen, a charming post for the day. Loved all the photos especially of the family, and especially the kiddos enjoying themselves. I can finally comment after trying for quite a few days. My cyber gremlins have been happily at work it seems but I’m here now 🙂
What lovely glitter hearts you found among the tulips—so cute! Such a fun blog, and you are truly blessed with your family.
Those tulips are beautiful. Happy Valentine’s Day. So cute. James is into Adidas and a few other brands. Hope he enjoys the basketball. Looks like that was a nice visit they had. I love the puzzles. Looks like they had fun at that party. Enjoy your time with them tonight.
Beautiful pink tulips.
Love the puzzle. We just finished another one too. 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day, Ellen! Oh, those pretty pink tulips . . . tulips are my favorite! I’m sure you enjoyed visiting JJ’s practice, and I’ll bet he loved having you there to watch! The farm quilt puzzle looks like it would be fun to put together, although a glow-in-the-dark puzzle is pretty special! Bekah and I recently did a “Cats With Careers” puzzle which tickled our funny bones. 🙂
I know you were spoiled with so much family love on Valentine’s Day, and I know the love will continue throughout the year!
