Us Right Now – April 23

jake
Good week for Jake! He made a lot of progress in his business. Several clients came on at once and things are rolling now. Thankfully. He’s been getting up early every day this week since he doesn’t have to be around to take David to the bus. He goes to work super-early and comes home to give kids dinner. He’s been so awesome. He also drove us all the way to Santa Cruz and back and played with the kids for hours. It’s so much fun for me to watch the way the kids hug him each time he’s around.

Good week for me. I pushed the Beta out the door, coordinated everything I have to do for work and then we left for our vacation. I am still sketching every day and working hard at it. Same with the exercise and leg lifts and I feel tired but peaceful. I feel like I am relaxed and making progress. Slowly, but I feel no sense of rush. I am glad we went on vacation, it really relaxed me.

David was off school all week. Spring break. He played, read, colored, played some more, and was all-around happy. During vacation, he was grouchy at times but I think he’s overall happy. More like a typical six-year-old, he’s happy when he gets exactly his way and whiny and pouty when he doesn’t. He does do everything I ask, though and he writes and reads every day and we’re working on our book together, too. So I feel like on average, he’s such a good boy and I am so very grateful.

This is Nathaniel’s last week as a one-year-old. Tomorrow he turns two. He’s such a cutie patootie. Though he’s been a lot more work lately, as well. He whines and complains when he doesn’t get his way. He’s gotten really good at expressing his opinion and if he doesn’t like what you offer, he’s very good about letting you know what he thinks about that, too. I love my little, little boy so much!!
