Us Right Now – April 30

jake
Jake had a great week this week. Got several accounts open and started his new company. He worked a lot and I think things are going well for him. I am really proud of him. He’s also helped me a lot with my work and taking care of things this week. I’ve had a long week so his support and kindness was felt extra-strong this week. I am so thankful he’s around so much more now.

A very long week for me. I expected it to be stressful but nowhere near what it turned out to be. Several last minute fires, late nights, sleepless nights from stress and worry. Overwhelming exhaustion. That was my week mostly. A quick trip to David’s new school. A two-year appointment for Nathaniel. Lots of exercise. And an overwhelming sense of tired. That was pretty much my week here.

David went back to school this week and he’s getting back into his routine again. Nothing bad this week from him. He came home happy every day and we’ve done a lot of reading and a lot of workbooks. We’re also starting to plan the summer for David since it’s coming soon. We’re hoping to sign him up for soccer, swimming, and gymnastics classes. And then a weeklong Lego camp, too. I’m excited for the summer. I always like having David around more and always miss him when school starts back up again.

Nathaniel is now officially two. He had the quiet celebration last Sunday with just the four of us and some cupcakes. Then he had his two-year well-child checkup and all was great. And then, today, we had a little party for him at our community area where we live. Many of the neighbors showed up and it was super-sweet to see all the little boys and girls running around together. Nathaniel had a lot of fun, too. He got some wonderful toys and has been playing with them all day. Happy Birthday, my sweet sweet boy.
