My travelers are home from Tennessee... and their excitement bubbled all over the living room, along with their luggage and bags of treats. It felt like Christmas, for the two of us who stayed home... and I felt a little bad that her spending money was spent on us. I was really only anticipating one gift... because the last stop of the trip was Cracker Barrel, and she knows that I will always choose clove. She handed me a bag, and I gave her a look... what about my clove stick? And that girl... she just smiled.
It was far more than I expected. Far more than I desired. Extravagant. And there goes my heart... for she has learned to give like her daddy. And like her Father.
Happy Tuesday... I hope that you have a beautiful gift to unwrap today...

Oh, how lovely.
I feel like I know your children through your blog. And every time you post about them, with so much love and pride shining through, my heart is happy.
Too sweet! I love clove chewing gum... they sell it at Cracker Barrel.
I love this! That lucky girl--to have a Daddy like that, and a Father like that.
And a mother like THAT. That would be you! :)
How thoughtful of her. I love it when children give freely -- to see the joy on their faces while they are waiting to see the joy on my face. Have a beautiful day!
Heartwarming!!! (: Looking forward to some of these moments when my little one's a little older!
So sweet :)
Happy for the safe return!
Awwww...she knows the quickest route to her Mama's heart!!!
I like this daughter of yours, like her heart, like the way she gives.

What a sweetie.
I had much the same reaction when my son returned from a trip. I was thrilled with my gift, but when he said, "Mom, I found something for Grandmother, too" my heart did flip-flops.
We have the Father to thank, don't we?
Glad to have found your blog!
Oh, how sweet.
You should be proud of her.
A heart that gives selflessly... Beautiful. Just beautiful!
Mmmm. Yum! And what a blessing to be so giving.
