gifts, treasures, presents

  • incredible notes & treats that nick left us (wish i'd taken a picture of all 4)
  • happy meals from mcdonald's (and the fact that they are super cheap compared to what we've paid in airports and spain)
  • fun worship!
  • WONDERFUL friday (blog post and lots of photos to come over at our family blog)
  • chats with naomi
  • venturing out to the clock tower playground & the giant chess board
  • "even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without His unfolding grace."  - 2 cor 4:16 (msg)
  • hiking up lion's head (again, more pictures to come on the family blog)
  • the "purse" emma created (more thankful for the process, creativity and fact that she worked diligently on it for about 2 hours than i am for the actual purse...though it's pretty cool).
  • hearing the tours come by our cabin
  • beauty




  • entering into the ache with another
  • new communication signs (so good to see jas bursey's face!)
  • "be content with who you are...God's strong hand is on you." 1 Peter 5:6 (msg)
  • seeing the mercy ships' videos on the big screen in the outside ampitheatre


  • wednesday evening - movie with kids, coffee with amy, the kindness of the jones.
  • bag full of crunchie bars
  • perfect way to start our day - a phone call from nick
