Even though we both feel really tired at the end of the week, I think this was a good week for Jake. He had a few great meetings and forward motion in several of his projects. I know that he’s trying to juggle a lot more than usual for the next few weeks and it’s hard but he’s dealing with it all like a champ. He’s positive, optimistic and still so much the guy I fell in love with. Jake’s childlike enthusiasm for so many things is intoxicating and makes you so happy to have him in your life. I am so grateful.

Good week for me, too. Three dev releases in one week. A first for me. But I do it all with so much more ease and confidence now. I understand the things under the hood and that’s all I needed to feel 100% better. I am hoping next week’s branching will go well too and then I can rest easy for a bit. I also had a great week teaching my class and making some art. And even sketching. I am looking forward to so much next week.

David had a good week as well. He’s fully back to school and handled the transition like a champ. He didn’t melt down and has come home happy each day this week. He does all of his chores without complaint (at least not too much.) He eats his veggies, reads his book, does his workbook exercises and then he gets to play. He even plays with his little brother and they really like laughing together. I love watching them so much.

Nathaniel has been having a rougher-than-usual week. He fell down and busted his lip earlier this week and then had a lot of trouble falling asleep (I am guessing it hurt to suck his thumb.) Then Jake taught him a game with the stuffed animals in bed and he kept wanting to play that and refused to sleep. But, of course, he always falls asleep in the end and he’s so cute, so sweet that we just try to be patient with him. I am guessing his schedule is changing a bit too since he’s getting older but we’ll deal with that as is comes.
and here’s the card version:
Us Right Now is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
You know, you all look so good, so real life. And I can see how much weight you’ve lost in your face! Yay for you!
What a beautiful family photo, Karen!
Wow..you have a great family karen. I admire you for treasuring your family that much and enjoying every moment with them especially with your kids. I never had the chance to be with my biological mom and dad cause I was still a baby when they got separated so I grew up with my grandmother. How I wish I could have just one moment with them, eating together, playing, watching tv, reading books and other stuffs like what you do with your husband and kids. Nathaniel is so cute and I wish I could have a little brother like him. ??
