Weekly Diary – February 11 2012

Wow, lots and lots of photos this week. Partly cause it was David’s birthday and partly cause there are just too many cute ones. This was a big week for almost all of us. I did a lot at work and got the Beta channel out early. Early in the week, I was on Paperclipping Roundtable. I also went to David’s school on Wednesday (with Jake) for his birthday. And I went back on Friday to volunteer with math time. I also saw the trainer on Friday and am doing my exercises every week day. They’re tough but I am hanging in there. David’s had a wonderful week. He got a ton of legos for his birthday and got to celebrate both here and at school. He also got to see Star Wars #1 in 3d at the theatre with his dad on Friday. He got to play Wii today and got his final lego set (actually there’s more coming from his grandmother in the mail) and tomorrow he gets to go to Alcatraz. A full week for the big boy. Jake had an excellent week at work and he was around a lot, playing with both of the kids. Excellent on both grounds. And Nathaniel was super-excited about David’s birthday. He ate some cake and asked for more all week. He asked about his birthday a lot too (which is not until April). He’s doing great and still having a great time playing. I am so so grateful for this super-productive and super-wonderful week.

Anyhow, here are some highlights from last week:

Nathaniel working on his book.

The kids playing outside with the neighbor’s toys.

they both had a lot of fun.

And wrestling inside.

and sitting together. I love this photo.

cute little boy.

and cute big boy.

my boys hugging!!

watching Star Wars.

Nathaniel loves to make me “shoot” him and then fake dying.

he’s such a little poser.

he also loves to draw.

and often admires his work.

he’s really been playing a lot with legos lately. Building awesome creations.

David’s birthday morning.

he blew those candles with gusto.

had to blow a few times.

but got them all in the end.

and there’s the cupcake, almost ready to be consumed.

David built one of his legos immediately.

He’s showing me the little compartment on the bottom.

then during snack time at school, we went over so we could all celebrate with his class. They sang him happy birthday.

and he blew one more candle.

nathaniel showing me his lego choo-choo.

and making creations.

during photo-time, he decided to shoot everyone.

and no matter what I did, he wouldn’t look at the camera.

look how David’s trying not to laugh during tickle time.

but it doesn’t last long.

and Nathaniel tries to shoot Daddy once more.

while Daddy and David are at the movies, Nathaniel is practicing “running” and asks me to take a picture.

he loves it so much.

and then he looks out the window and shows me the birds.

my super-duper cutie-pie boy.

and here we go. Another wonderful week gone. So grateful for my family. Here’s to a great week next week!
