looking for the treasures...


  • sharing our ship with thousands of guests (through public tours)
  • when the flags are flying on the ship
  • eli's chance to go off with the dunne's for the weekend (and his new stuffie)
  • fresh air
  • the lovely sound of nurses' chatter (we're getting closer and closer)
  • time at the scratch patch (and lessons learned)
  • the way nick thinks i'm wonderful (he helps me to believe it a little more)
  • fresh air (yup, it made the list twice this week)
  • kids' shopping spree at the bookstore (thanks for Christmas, Papa and MaMa!)
  • surprise gifts from the schuemann's sent with the lovely marta
  • going to hillsong church
  • fantastic trip to Truth Coffee (and the fun art outside)
  • elisabeth's willingness to keep the kids so that the coffee outing could happen 
  • great friends to share coffee with (and to laugh with about my sugar adding abilities and the barista's "helpful" advice...)
  • finding the pictures that i thought had disappeared 
  • watching the hundreds of birds on the water...landing, playing, swimming, taking off (wish the picture captured it all better)
