Thankful Thursday

The stomach flu hit our home this week.  So far, just Kai and I got it.  It's been a rough couple of days so far.

This week I am thankful for:

1. Kids making me laugh.  In this picture, Nya was saying `I'm a ballerina!'.  She was doing it over and over this week spinning and saying `I'm a ballerina!  Clap for me everybody!'.

2.  A fun family day.  I really needed it after a not-so-great day on Saturday.

3.  Cheap gas!!!  It's down to 108.9/L here which is down from about 140/L this summer.  This is such a savings for us and our minivan!

4. Gary, Nya and Koen avoiding this stomach flu.  It's bad.  I really hope that no one else gets it.  Kai will miss his Christmas concert at school today and for the first time, I will also miss seeing it.  I've asked Gary to video tape it for me.  It will be Koen's first one.



5.  Gary having a safe winter camp with his students.  His loves that outdoor leadership class and I'm glad that he gets to have fun experiences like that.

I"m going to have to stop there and head back to bed.  We have a fun little getaway planned for a few days from now and I'm  nervous we won't be healthy enough to go.  I would really appreciate a little prayer for our health.  Thanks, friends.

Love,
Louise
