This weekend Dale and I were able to go on a little getaway for my birthday. It was so much fun and a wonderful time to have him all to myself without Blackberries, emails or cell phones=). We need to do that more often.
I didn't take many pictures this week because it was such a busy week with Homeschool Testing. However, I always look forward to reflecting on my gratitudes and really didn't want to miss this opportunity. It has really changed me on how I view my world.
206. Time with Dale and enjoying each other's company.
207. Brother time! The oldest not being bothered by the youngest trying to be just like him.
208. God never sleeps.
209. Dale's 77 year old mom. She is such a blessing to our family and did a great job holding down the fort while we were away.
210. Testing over for another year! All boxed up and ready to be shipped!
211. Modern medicine....I am fighting a bladder infection. I was thanking God last night that I was born during this time with antibiotics and Motrin.
212. Awana cars...designing, painting, racing and spending quality time with Dad.
213. God' s perfect peace.
214. The warmer weather and rain that came and washed away some of the "pea porridge."
215. A boy's imagination..."ironing" his money.

Joyful, joyful...so glad you had time away with hubby. When you're children are a bit older, you'll be able to do it even more, and you'll guard that time so jealously! It's wonderful. I'm so glad you have a Grandma nearby to take such great care of your children. Such a huge blessing that is. And, I'm so thankful, too, for the medicines we have today. Hugs!
hehehe! your list makes me giggle. Ironing the money!
I hope you feel better soon! Thanks for sharing! What a fun list.
Karen,
I hope you feel better very soon! I, too, and so thankful to have been born in the modern medicine era! I don't have to take meds that often, but when I need them, I'm so thankful they're available!
Getting away with your Hubbie is wonderful for your marriage! Glad that you could take some time to do that with him. :)
I LOVED the pictures you shared of your children! They are so cute!
Glad you were able to have a little getaway....just hate that you are suffering an infection! I agree that we are so blessed with the miracles of modern medicine!!!
I love what goes through kids' heads...ironing money. Of course it had to be with a box of tissues because a real iron would burn it up!!
Lots of love!

So glad to hear that you were able to get away for I am sure some much needed time. What a great mother to come and take care of her sons children so mom and dad can have some alone time.
