Weekly Diary – March 10 2012

This was a rough week for me. Work-wise, emotionally and mentally. But alas, it’s ending really week. My weekend so far is peaceful, kind, and restful. I am deeply grateful for the kindness and laughter of my family. My boys had a good week. They went to school, played at home and laughed a lot. My husband also had a good week. It was productive and mostly quiet for all others but me. Here’s to hoping next week is a little less rough on the edges for me.

And, here are some highlights from last week:

Nathaniel is really good at finding joy in the small things.

And his joy is contagious.

hugging. I love to see them hugging.

chatting with jake’s parents.

more hugging.

i used to love doing this as a kid.

David gave up on waiting for Nathaniel and went ahead of him.

Nathaniel kept going.

until he saw a crack and got scared to step on it.

then we practiced tying shoes. David’s proficient now!

for family night, we made paper airplanes.

which the kids colored the next day.

nathaniel really likes coloring now.

David put some grass seeds in the backyard, as Nathaniel watched.

while he was doing that, I finally buried the letter I’d written to my younger self (part of body restoration class.)

David took a good look around and took his job seriously.

another one of Nathaniel’s creative and joyful moments was when he looked at his legos through the binoculars.

here he is, laughing at me.

and then playing with his legos. making sounds.

writing stories in his mind.

and laughing about them.

the boys posed for me as we setup the family shot today.

Nathaniel told daddy to sit and read to him. So daddy obliged.

all of my boys. I adore them so.

Nathaniel was in a funny mood as we shot the photos. He kept being mischievous.

and tickle time!

see how David’s reaching over to Nathaniel?

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