Grateful Eight

This is a little late, but we just flew home today after a short, but wonderful visit in Edmonton!!!

So this week I am grateful for:

1. My camera!! Yes it is working and it was just the Memory card. I have to remember to reformat it every so often!

2. This little monkey who is such an amazing traveller!! He does so well on the big airplanes!! Also check out his new haircut!! We took him to
Beaners and they are amazing!! Thanks to Missy and Ethan for helping me out!!!

3. My amazing little nephew Jonas!! He is the happiest, most content baby I have ever seen!! I miss him already!
4. For getting a chance to meet some new babies that have just entered the world!

Kevin, Pamela and Casen Vadori. Casen was born on April 4, 2008! He is such a cutie!

Jaia Ramkissoon--Rita and Glen's little angel!! It was great to finally meet her and hold her!

4. My beautiful sister Melanie!! She picked us up, drove us all around and helped run after Zech!! Also for my wonderful brother-in-law Cory who put up with us as well, and watched the boys so Mel and I could have some shopping time and drove John to the airport!!



5. For getting a chance to get together with cousins and all of the new babies!



6. For Mom and being able to surprise her with a special gift that was a little late!! Sorry Mom it took so long, we hope you enjoy it and cherish it!! Thank you too for all of your help with Mel's baby Shower!



7. For Zechariah and Jonas and the loads of fun they are going to have growing up together. It was a lot of fun seeing these two interact. Although it was stressful too, as Zech is still learning the whole concept of being gentle and that baby Jonas is NOT a toy!


8. For a chance to see my great friend Trish! Trish and Trev are expecting at the end of September, beginning of October!! We are so excited for them!

Thanks for posting all the great photos Vanessa. I really love the photo of Alice and grandsons. I'm returning to work full-time June 2nd. A digital camera is one of the first things on my wish list once I have a bit more money.

Hi Vanessa,
Just checked in on your blogg for the first time and have enjoyed some quiet time reading and looking at all your wonderful snaps. I also enjoyed seeing Mel and her boy plus some of your mom. Please say hi to them for me! All the best with the days to come in B.C. Glad to hear you have gotten to spend time with family and friends.
