Today felt like a super-short day. I woke up, exercised, got ready and then had a visitor. Between her and work, my day was gone before I knew it. I didn’t take that many photos either. Nathaniel woke up cranky from his nap and never really recovered. David was an angel for the most part and even asked me to take his photo today.
Nathaniel wouldn’t eat at lunch but then went begging for food all day. Now that he can sign food, he uses it liberally.
I love this shot. He’s learned to make sounds with those tubes from David. He’s still putting his foot under the tray and you can even see David eating and watching his iPod. Snapshot of our lives.
I have mixed feelings about this shot but something about it speaks to me so here we are.
That’s about it. The kids are getting ready to go to bed and I am ready to relax a bit and watch TV and read my new book.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for a visit from a new friend. A common friend introduced us and she came over for the first time today and we talked for a long long long time. Love it when that happens.
2. I am grateful for the kind, generous people around me. I am often filled with more love and kindness than I realize.
3. I am grateful for some good TV on my Tivo that’s waiting for me!
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. watching batman.
2. meeting mommy’s friend.
3. daddy.
Karen,
Your children are adorable. They remind a wee bit of my boys. Not because they look alike, but because of how they play together. My boys are now 20 and 24. I wish I had taken as many photos of my two as you do of your two.
It’s good to know that new friends can into ones life. I just “divorced” a very dear friend and am feeling very sad friendless this summer.
Oh thank you for your kind words. Part of me is so looking forward to seeing them grow up, become men. And part of me doesn’t want time to move at all. I am trying to capture the moments so they stay alive in my memory forever.
I am so sorry about your loss. I’ve done that before and I know that even when done by choice, it’s painful. We do make new friends all the time. It’s a lot of work and sometimes not worth it but most of the time, really really is.
