This week I am grateful for:
1. Antibiotics! Never thought I would say that, but we had to take Zech t0 the doctor because he wasn't getting any better and discovered that both of his ears were badly infected! Poor little guy! He is doing much better now and we are finally back to sleeping through the night (I have been so exhausted)!
2. Great weather! I know what the weather has been like in Alberta and I am quite happy that it has been nice and green and sunny here (it is still cooler than normal, but no snow!). Sorry, just had to mention how grateful I was! :o)
3. A Great Bible Study! We are doing John Piper's "The Blazing Center".
4. Wonderful, God-fearing people who have so graciously opened their home to us and go out of their way to make us feel like family and as comfortable as possible! Ron and Laura have been great!
5. For Costco and their online photo centre! So fast and convenient!
6. For my wonderful husband who had to dig through every single box in storage to help me find my scrap booking bag. Of course it was way in the back, tucked away in the corner, which meant we had to take everything out and then put everything back! I love him so much!
7. For a day to myself to scrapbook all day long! I won a gift pack worth $80 and got a lot of pages done! Plus, John got to spend the day with Zech and they had so much fun together biking, playing outside with the trucks and just hanging out!
8. Missionaries who go into the dark to shed light! We were blessed to have two couples speak at church today about their work in the Mission Field. One couple has been up North for years. They are retired and in their 80's and were asked to go back and help with one of the churches they originally planted back in the 1960's and they went and shared with us this morning (you would never guess that they were in their 80's)!! The other couple is in Romania and, wow, what a state that country is in! But in all of this darkness, God is so great and shines so bright! (John and I have a real heart for Missions, so maybe one day when God says that we are ready, we too will be able to share!)
**I completed 9 layouts yesterday, but I will only show 5. I had to take pictures of them--so they aren't going to show up the best. I also still have to journal a few of the layouts---my printing is horrible, so I will do them on the computer. It was a little challenging at times to scrap book as I don't have all of my stuff with me. I have two containers full in storage and all I grabbed was my bag. Plus I didn't want to buy anything yesterday either
This was a "Make and Take"! They do a layout and provide you with all sorts of materials and you make your own version of it. 
I didn't take this one out of the protector, as I don't really like the pictures of me in the hospital--hardly recognize myself! However, I did want to scrap them for Zech! (still have to do the journaling)

V!!! Your layouts are awesome! YAY for getting them done! What a treat that must have been! What store were you at? I have a friend who teaches/works at one of the stores in Kelowna.
I'm glad Zech is feeling better - it's amazing how much we take health for granted when they are well, hey?!
Thanks for sharing your LOs!!! It's awesome to spend a whole lot of time scrapbooking uninterrupted isn't it?! Good for you not spending any money - that's such a weakness for me :)
Great LOs! It's so nice to have a day to work on them without distractions or having to put it aside because of the everyday things. Zech was so tiny. I bet it's hard to imagine how small he once was.
Hope he heals quickly. We'll be praying for him.
