Daily Diary – February 27 2011

I am thankful for weekends like this. Quiet-paced, low on stress, high on family time, and peace. Lots of peace. I slept in late this morning because Nathaniel woke up shrieking at 5am and it took me a while to calm him down. So we both fell back asleep right after it. I then began my morning routine of checking mail, exercising, family photo and reading to David. Then I worked on my sketching and then a layout. The little boy was given two chances to nap but he didn’t take either of them.

Here are some from our morning: Nathaniel thrilled to have the remote and David, bummed.

Daddy sneaking a kiss and look at that little boy’s face.

Tickle time!!

When we were done, David wanted a turn with the remote since he hadn’t gotten one earlier.

And Nathaniel ran away with my lens cap so I had to snap this and then chase him down.

The day ended with family time where we played Monopoly Jr. twice. I won once and Daddy the second time. Then it was time for David to go to bed (and Nathaniel who was definitely melting down due to not having had a nap). Now I am processing photos, watching the Oscars and feeling so thankful for my life. Tomorrow starts David’s school and a hectic week at work. I will cherish these few hours of quiet and peace.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for a wonderful weekend.
2. I am grateful for Oscars. I remember watching them at 6am as a little kid. Always loved the Oscars.
3. I am grateful there’s one more day in February. The idea of March is a bit haunting for me and I am not sure why. Alas one more day.
