One thing my husband is amazing at is bringing me flowers. He just randomly will come home with flowers. My favorite thing about this is most of the time they are potted flowers. (he knows I hate how quickly cut flowers die, and love plants) Yesterday he brought me a yellow mum. Earlier this summer he brought Grace and I both flowers. Grace LOVES purples flowers. She always wants to go outside to smell the flowers. So Jeremy bought her an indoor flower. Now I thought this was very cute that he brought her flowers too. But, I was very nervous, because he brought us two African violets. For those of you who aren't up on plants they are not the easiest things to keep alive. They don't fall in the hard to kill category. They don't like too much water, so you have to water them from the bottom. And they have to be happy in order to keep blooming. So I was worried if I killed it I might have one sad two year old on my hands. But I am happy to report that thus far the purples flowers are alive and have bloomed again!! In this picture Grace's flowers are just starting to bloom. Now they are in full bloom and very beautiful. She asks to look at them quite often. I am so thankful for a husband who loves me, and is teaching my daughters how they should be treasured.
