Us Right Now – February 19

jake
Long week for Jake, lots of interviewing candidates and working long hours. He’s been working from early morning to late afternoon. And then he comes home and spends time with both kids. He and David have been watching lots of Star Wars lately and it’s one of David’s favorite things. He looks forward to his time with Daddy all day long. Nathaniel, too, has been a big fan, he keeps coming to the computer and saying “daddy” until I show him photos of all four of us so he can see his dad.

This week was a long week for me both at work and personally. But I’ve accomplished much and now I have a three day weekend to rest. My jaw’s been hurting and I’ve had several eye migraines this week. But I still kept exercising and I’ve spent lots of time with the kids. I went to David’s school to volunteer and now he’s got no school for a week. I very much look forward to some more time with him. He’s such a joy to have around.

David had a good week at school. It started with Valentine’s Day and a big party, then he went to the other school for a shadow day and then ended his week with a playdate. He’s now on vacation for a week and playing with his legos, on the computer, and Wii of course. We’re also planning to get back on schedule with our workbooks this week. We’ve been slacking a bit there and this is a good time to get reorganized.

Nathaniel is enjoying the little iPod I gave him. I love it even more because it means I don’t have to have the TV on all day long. The Thomas obsession was getting annoying on the TV whereas I don’t mind it at all when it’s on the small ipod with no sound. And he forgets about it for hours when he’s just looking at books of Thomas. He flips page after page and points out all the trains, cars, and balls. He’s also getting even more vocal and specific in his needs. My little boy is growing up so much and so quickly.

and here’s the card version:

    this is an adorable picture of you guys together. This is a neat idea and would like to do it with my family also. I like that you record a weekly how we are page. How do you manage to do all that you do and sleep at night??? Thanks for sharing your little everyday moments. Oh and sorry you weren’t feeling well this week and hope having a relaxing fun weekend will help.

    I’m loving how this project is developing and wondering if I could get my family to do it as well. I think it would be easier to do than 365 where i forget to take a picture and then give up. With this it doesn’t really matter when in the week I take the picture. Your husband is such a star being willing to be part of this.
