Grateful Eight

Another week and more things to be grateful for!

1. Time to run and go on bike rides! It feels so great to get out and be active!

2. That my fall down the stairs with Zech in my arms only resulted in Mom being all banged up and nothing more serious. We really do have that motherly instinct to "protect" our kids BUILT into us! Zech didn't have a scratch, I on the other hand am full of bruises and scrapes.

3. My sister-in-law who took care of Zech, so that I could go out and do a bit of 'self marketing' and hand out some resumes to the various Government departments/agencies! Please pray that I get a job here soon!

4. Time to be creative and get four more layouts almost completed!!

5. My amazing little boy who has really adapted well to his new schedule change. He is now only taking one nap a day, but we switched it from the morning to the afternoon. It helps mommy's days go a bit better and he has been great! He even naps for almost three hours!

6. My Mom and the wonderful, strong woman she is! I think being a mother myself makes me appreciate all of the things that she has done for us so much more! Also for my mother-in-law and my Grandmas (one who we miss dearly and the other who we are still blessed to have with us)! What wonderful mothers, a true gift from God!

7. A wonderful Mother's Day. John and Zech took me to a beautiful brunch at Lake Okanagan Resort. They spoiled me with a new perfume set and a nice relaxing day. We also went over to my sister and brother-in-laws for a nice BBQ. It really was a great day!

8. That our little monkey did NOT swallow a tack! My Mother's Day did end with a trip to the hospital. We found 5 tacks at the bottom of Zech's bed and we had no idea if he swallowed one or not, so off we went to get some X-rays. Thank the Lord he did not swallow one, but we had to make sure! Wow, this is a really stressful age!! :o)

That's a great list! It lets me see right into your week - with all its excitement!! Did you ever think that having a toddler would mean so many trips to hospitals and doctors? But that really means how lucky we are to have an amazing health care system! I'm glad Mother's Day was special - it's nice to be extra appreciated even if it's back to reality the next day :)) And good luck with the job hunting - I can only imagine how stressful it is. How about showing us some layouts? Please - it's so much fun to see someone else's creativity and be inspired. Take care!
