I couldn’t get this photo to look the way I like but I am too tired to mess with it. Will try something else tomorrow.
A quiet, uneventful day here. David spent a little time on the computer in the morning and then played quietly while Nathaniel napped. During then, he found this baby sock of his and wanted a picture with it.
Nathaniel was kind enough to wake up at 4am this morning and would not go back to sleep. He’s been sick with a runny nose so I am trying to be nice to him but I am so so so tired. When he woke up from his nap, David played some wii (in lieu of Saturday since it’s Christmas on Saturday) and Nathaniel played with his toys..
And David’s batman car.
he played and played quietly.
he and I went to the garage while David played wii and we finally wrapped all the presents. It’s finally looking like Christmas here.
On an impulse, I bought a new lens yesterday so when it came today, I used it to take this photo.
and this one.
It’s a zoom lens. I haven’t used one of those in a long long time. It’s 24-75mm though and a 2.8 which means I have wide range and relatively good light. So for now, it will stay on until after the holidays. I also got a remote for my camera so I can take photos of all of us with it. I am very exhausted now but I also feel so blessed and thankful for my life, my family and that I get some wonderful time off from work so I can be with the people I love so much.
I hope you’re safe, healthy and warm.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I have so much new equipment lately. I love and use each and every single one.
2. I am grateful that I finished my book and started a new one that appears to be a lot of fun. Right now I only want to read fun books, not sad ones.
3. I am grateful that we a few more days off. I cherish this time of year so much and want each of the days to go slowly.

Love love love the remote! For my DecDaily I set up the camera in an out of the way spot and took pictures of us playing in the living room so that I could capture what life really looks like around here–in the pjs, pbs on, and all playing on the floor. It’s one of my favorite photos!
