Daily Diary – August 1 2011

Happy Monday. We had a relatively productive and also pretty quiet day here. I tried to take some photos of Nathaniel.

But he just wasn’t having it.

He kept showing me other things instead.

So I got one of my sweet David.

I tried Nathaniel again.

But all I got was a blur.

After my meeting in the afternoon, I put on a movie for the kids and took a photo while they watched.

Now they are getting ready for bed. And I am feeling calm and full of gratitude for the ordinary day. I still have two blog posts gnawing at me for today but I’ll get to them eventually.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for our quiet, calm, productive days.
2. I am grateful for kids who know how to keep quiet during a meeting and for video chat.
3. I am grateful for Christy’s new class. She never stops inspiring me.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I played with Nathaniel * {his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I watched Because of Winn-Dixie.
3. I am grateful that I played with my Star Wars ideas.
