This weeks GrEightful list is going to encompass that last three weeks or more (so expect a few more than eight things on the list). I think that is how many weeks I am behind--sigh!!!
1) A visit with my sister and Jonas. After both boys had a nap, they seemed to be eager to play with one another and they were so funny, I wish I had video taped them. Zech would rub his head into Jonas and Jonas would grab his hair and then they would both just laugh hysterically!
2) My wonderful hubby who completely cleaned our place and sorted, moved boxes around, etc. How on earth did I get so blessed!
(one of my favourite pictures of him I took this summer at the beach)
3) Trips to the "lellow Slide" and the "Purple slide"! Although lately, walks collecting rocks, trees and pine cones have been much more interesting. He could care less about the playground!
5) Baby Showers! I was at baby Isabelle's (Trish and Trev's little one) shower a few Sunday's ago and it was a lot of fun and tonnes of great food! She got so many clothes--I think everyone loves shopping for little girls!
6) Email to keep in touch with friends all over the world (even though I am horrible at it lately). I got this nice little picture in my email box a bit ago and it made me smile and wish that we lived closer!
7) My inlaws who spent just over a week with us. We had a great visit and Zech was so happy to see his "Gaga" and "Nanny"! They helped me out so much with dishes, cooking, and looking after Zech! We were sad to see them go!
8) My grandparents and a chance to have a great visit and celebrate my Grandma's 85th birthday. When asked what her secret is, her response made me chuckle. She told us that we just need to stay "cool and collective". So there you have it, to live to 85 just stay "cool and collective"!! :o) (She cracks me up)!
9) Date nights with my dear husband. My inlaws graciously offered to look after Zech so we could go out for a couple of date nights while they were with us. It was so nice for just the two of us to get out. We don't get these opportunities often and it was funny because we both felt like we were dating again!! :o)
10) A nice, safe first Halloween for Zech. He went as a horse (thanks Missy for the costume). We took him to the mall for a bit and then had supper and then we stopped in at Halloween Alley. Zech didn't know what to make of this whole trick or treating thing until we let him have a treat, well them he was full bore!
11) Uncle Cor, Aunty Mel and Baby Joe as Zech calls them! We had a nice visit with them on Friday and then yesterday they looked after Zech for a few hours while we went to a friend's surprise birthday.
12) Lunch with the Nenasheffs! We have some great times with the Nenasheffs and we are so blessed to have these wonderful friends in our lives.
13) Finally securing a job. I got my old job back and start on Wednesday! What a huge relief! Lots of changes about to happen in our little family, but it will be good. John is excited to be able to look after Zech and focus on his schooling. I know that Zech and him are going to have a blast together. For some reason my truck and tractor sounds just aren't as good as Daddies! ;o)
