This week I am grateful for:
1. A week of subbing!
2. That the week is over! I was exhausted come Friday!
3. John, Mom and Dad Gooch, Jason and Missy and the kids! Thanks for baby-sitting!!
4. Friends and their wonderful emails!
5. Athabasca University! John starts in October and can get all the courses he needs and get credit for all of his previous courses--even his ones from Taylor Seminary!
6. EBAY! You can really get some awesome deals on ebay! I just picked up a pair of $150-$200 jeans for $40 including shipping! (I already knew what style and size I needed, so it was quite easy!) I can't wait to get them!
7. God's love, grace and mercy!
8. Canoe trips and time to enjoy the great outdoors. I love that Zech is such a nature lover and loves to be outside and explore as much as John and I do!
Love how he says "eese" as soon as I pull out the camera! I sure did train him well!! :o)
My pathetic attempt at a self portrait with my boy! Ha! :o)
A favourite house of mine! The property is huge (there are two houses on it) and it is really nice and private!
I need to clean the lens. We are actually using our small, little Fuji to take these pictures. Didn't want to risk taking the Rebel on the boat! I am quite impressed at how well these pictures turned out, considering!
These next two pictures are John's place that he grew up in . His Dad bought this property in the 70's for really cheap and there was just a little cabin on it. John and his Dad added on to the cabin considerably. It is really hard to see in the pictures, but it is quite nice. John gets really upset when he comes down here as the people that are in it (renters) have just let it go. John's parents are REALLY particular about the house, landscaping, you name it! So for them to see it looking like this is well kind of a shock. There was also a huge dock, but it is gone now. The whole family really misses this place, but the taxes are just too high now and his parents were pretty much forced to sell quite a few years ago. What a great place to grow up at though!
Last but not least, our chauffeur! John paddles while Zech and I play, eat snacks and enjoy. I do help him out a bit too, but I have to watch our little monkey so he doesn't try and jump in the water.

Another great list, V! Love the photos too!
It's so nice that you can get out on the water and see things from another angle. We need to do that in life sometimes too, don't we? Happy September and good luck to John as he starts his studies again.
What a great time outdoors. Tyler would be love to be so close to a place where we could go canoeing. I'm the same way though...he does most of the paddling.
We're praying for John as he gets back into the studying. If you need any other info just send an email. We'll do our best.
