Weekly Diary – March 3 2012

I have to say that this week sort of flew by. It felt mostly like a blur. I was grouchy, busy, tired, but now that it’s over, I feel okay. Things came together, as they always seem to and I feel at peace. I took considerably fewer photos this week than usual. Maybe it’s a testament to the blur of a week it’s been. Alas we all had a good week. David started the week with a stomach bug but he recovered quickly. The kids went to school, I worked, I had an online chat, I met some friends, I did some art. Jake, too, worked, had meetings, met friends. And now it’s the weekend and we’re both ready to rest and play and just enjoy the weekend.

And, here are some highlights from last week:

Nathaniel and Daddy playing.

I love these photos with the huge eyes.

And the mischievous grin.

And the all-out laugh.

He’s just so cute.

and here’s David just grinning so we can be done with the photo.

Nathaniel and Daddy again, writing this time.

Nathaniel spent a lot of time drawing this week while I worked.

another shot of the big boy with the blue eyes.

I love this picture. Just so magical for me somehow. I love how it shows how much his little brother looks up to David and how proud of it David is. maybe you can’t see it here but I see all of it in this weird photo.

I told nathaniel to give me a smile, and I got this.

and this.

and then finally, this.

this photo, for some reason, just made me think he looks so much like me.

Friday was David’s 101st day at school and they celebrated in style.

and when he came home we took family photos.

tickle time was just right this time.

until nathaniel started punching and trying to reach over.

I still had a blast.

just love looking at these photos.

afterwards, David read his library book. I love seeing how much he loves to read.

and Nathaniel drew a bunch more.

and here we go. Another wonderful week gone. So grateful for my family. Here’s to a great week next week!
