Daily Diary – February 6 2011

Today started calm and relaxed. I didn’t journal but I did do some work on my art journal and I printed all of January’s photos for scrappy pages. I haven’t made a layout in about ten days which is really long for me. But I have some commitments coming up so I wanted to have photos at hand. I then did my exercise and then the most important item on my todo list. So overall I was feeling good already. Then we took the family shots. (Look at Nathaniel enjoying his book.)

When Nathaniel woke up from his nap, we all got in the car to drive to Filoli Gardens but when we got there we found out that it was closed for a few more days. So we went to a nearby diner called Buck’s. I’d already changed my lens which is why Nathaniel looks like he was captured with a fisheye here.

Then we went to Elizabeth Gamble gardens in Palo Alto and Jake’s dad grabbed this of us. If Nathaniel didn’t look like he is about to pass out, it would be great.

I snapped a million flower photos and then took one of the little boy.

My inlaws with David.

And one with both the kids.

Then we came home and it was evening routine time. We were all wiped from the food and then walking in the sun. So the kids went to bed, Jake and his parents went out to dinner (and then airport) and I am lying on the couch, trying to decide if I will do more work. I think I will finish off a few more simple to do items and maybe journal a bit.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I finished the big todo list item on my list (my frog for the weekend).
2. I am grateful that tomorrow is completely obligation-free and I might even take it off work so i can really relax.
3. I am grateful that there’s Glee tonight!

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I went to Meme’s hotel {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I had some pancakes.
3. I am grateful that we went to the garden.
