This week I am grateful:
1) For my Job and the fact that the week is over. It was a short week (only 3 days), but I was exhausted!
2) For my wonderful husband! He is so good with Zech and they had so much fun together (I don't think Zech asked for me once while I was at work)! He has made up a schedule and I am quite impressed with his organization and dedication to his family, his little man, and his studies and of course his devotions!
3) That Zech really likes the snow and is excited about it. Last year when we returned from Australia he HATED it and cried everytime I tried to take him out and play in it. As you can see John and him had a blast! (John was pulling him on his boogie board--and everytime they turned a corner he would whip Zech around so that he fell off and Zech was laughing so hard he had tears coming down)!
After he took a dump! Notice all the snow on his face! :o)
4) That this week is over! John was working crazy hours right until I went back to work and it was just a LONG, tiring week.
5) Safe travels for John and my Father-in-law. John flew to Kelowna yesterday after work to pick up our other vehicle and drive back today. I just talked to them and they are in Cochrane, but the roads have been horrible! Praise God that they have made it this far and pray that they make it home!
6) God's messengers in places I least expected.
7) Stories in Hand course by Jessica Sprague. I have had quite a few technical difficulties and am no where near being caught up, but the course is really great and the system is pretty cool! I know I will make good use out of it!
8) That my little boy posed for me so nicely today. I finally took his two year photos (only a month and a half late)! I got him all dressed up, did his hair and told him that I was going to take his pictures. I hung up my backdrop and he sat right down and started saying "cheese" before I even had my camera out. I was shooting in Manual mode (something I don't usually do) and well some of the shots were not that great at all. I think I forgot what mode I was shooting in and never did the proper adjustments so a few nice pictures did not turn out as clear as I had hoped. Oh well, I really need to practice more and I don't think that Manual mode is a good mode to shoot an energetic two year old who has an extremely short attention span! I should have been on Action mode!
What a little stud muffin (yeah, yeah I now I am biased)!! He loves his pockets now, so when I told him to put his hands in his pockets and smile--he thought that was a pretty good idea! I just can't believe what a little boy he is now--my baby is gone!
This one isn't even that clear! :o(
Notice how blurry this one is!!! :o(
The NO MORE pictures pose!! He had enough by this point!By the way......I did get some good clear shots, I am just not posting them yet! I have to edit and print them and then I will post them! I was just disappointed that they weren't all clear and that the lighting was a little finicky--I am still learning and need to practice a lot MORE!!!! He is still a cutie none the less--especially with his new outfit and new hair cut!

Those pictures of Zech are so precious! If those aren't the best, I can only imagine how great the ones you aren't sharing are!
Good luck at work this week - I'm sure it's a huge adjustment being gone all day - and having to go back again tomorrow!!
Awesome pictures V! Can't wait to see the rest! I'm glad Zech loves the snow now!
You're right, Vanessa. Zech no longer looks like a baby. He is certainly a handsome fella with his new outfit and haircut. Your pics are fabulous too!! I'm sure that the stress of returning to work is tiring, but that it won't be long before you have readjusted. It certainly makes it easier for you to know that you don't have to worry about Zech as he is in John's capable care.
Hey Vanessa, that last comment was from your Aunt Elaine not Uncle Helge. I didn't realize he was signed on to the blogger.
Oh those photos of Zech are awesome!!!!! He is so cute!
I hope this week at work goes well!
I think it is awesome that John is at home with Zech!
My oh my, you have snow over there. The boys look like their having a blast together. Tyler's going to be just like John, playing, making sounds and noises and doing crazy things with our little ones. And what a handsome guy you have. Those pictures are great. He really has grown up so much.
I hope your first week and work went well and you all get used to the changes this brings. We'll be praying for you.
