Daily Diary – July 23 2011

We had a quiet but lovely Saturday here. It started with sleeping in a bit and then exercise of course. Then family photos. Here’s a shot from when I was setting up.

Here the kids are negotiating for the remote.

some laughter.

an almost-perfect shot.

and tickle-time!

after that, David set up his legos in different settings and took photos of them.

and Nathaniel watched him of course.

then there was napping, art journaling, wii, and working. when Nathaniel woke up, we went out to lunch/dinner. And picked up David’s car that we’d painted last week.

I took the opportunity to capture those amazing eyes.

and the car turned out pretty cute, too.

Nathaniel went back to playing with his current-favorite toy. A fire truck we’d bought years ago from Costco (that David had broken long ago.) He loves to press the button that makes the “raising ladder” noise and lift up the ladder is the noise plays.

Between that toy and the two huge Tonka trucks, Nathaniel is super-happy. He’s playing with them right now as I type this and David’s enjoying his last moments of the Wii. Jake’s taking a quick nap in his office and I am watching Bones on the computer as I type. Life is so very wonderful when it’s simple like this. My plans to night are to art journal a bit, to help Jake with some work, journal (which i REALLY have been neglecting) and to read, of course.

Happy Saturday!

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for good books. I’ve been reading a lot lately and it makes me so happy.
2. I am grateful for the yummy goat cheese sandwich I eat when we go out.
3. I am grateful for our simple yet truly wonderful life. Others might think it’s boring but I am so content.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I played the Mario Party 8 game on the Wii * {his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I got my ceramic car.
3. I am grateful that I played with my legos, setting them up and taking pictures of them.
