It was a different Valentine's Day at the Maxwells. Our typical tradition with a nice dinner including a heart-shaped meatloaf and delectable chocolate dessert didn't happen this year. Landon went to Austin, TX for the Passion Conference with his college group from church. The conference is an wonderful weekend with great speakers and several Christian bands. He had a great time...with 18,000 kids young adults praising and growing in the Lord. Although, I am so glad he had this opportunity, I was bummed it was over Valentine's Day. So instead, Max, Payton and I went to a friend's open house. They had a chocolate fountain and lots of games going on for all ages. It was a fun evening.
Max can always count on dark chocolate from me. (His favorite treat!) And, he always buys me roses...and usually a beautiful piece of jewelry. This year I got my dozen roses, but I had to work for them. He was very proud to tell me, that he thought of this all by himself! ;) He is one special man!!
Each rose had a note and was put in a special place. Example: This one was on my homeschool desk...with him telling me he loves me because I homeschool our kids. Another one was on my Bible with a note saying, he loves how much I love the Lord....one on the washer...and on and on. Too cute!
We had Game Day (homeschool PE) on Valentines, so I bought Payton and her BF a few Valentine treats. These glasses being one of them.
It was a blessed day. I missed my son, but loved having Payton and my wonderful Valentine with me.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
