I am quite tired at the moment so I will keep this one short. It was another lovely week in the karenika household. David had no school all week so he was home playing, relaxing, and reading. Nathaniel had school only Wednesday and Friday but didn’t get to go Friday because we all left for a two-day vacation to Tiburon. The kids also went to the dentist this week and we ran errands and worked, of course. But the week ended with our vacation in Tiburon and 75degree weather. It was truly perfect and even though I feel wiped now, it was exactly what I needed to get the grouchiness out of my system. I am so thankful.
And, here are some highlights from last week:
David with his long hair.
Nathaniel watching a movie (with no sound).
The boys built a big “city” all over the living room.
The worked on it for two days straight.
It was really sweet to watch them build it.
here are the beginnings. the parking lot, construction, cars.
then there was a break to do some reading.
and then more city building. this special city has batmobiles.
and here it is finished, traffic jams and all.
here’s another point of view, also shows you the graffiti on the buildings and the helipad.
on his one school-day this week, Nathaniel made a crown and he loves it to bits.
the kids posed for some photos for me.
we took our family shots right before we left.
Nathaniel wasn’t in the mood so daddy tried new tactics.
which seemed to work.
then we left for Tibruon. It was just over the water as I’d wished and the weather was absolutely perfect.
the kids snuggled in bed as we relaxed.
as we walked and sat to overlook the wonderful water, the kids ran.
Raced and laughed.
took a little break.
then some more racing.
which the seven-year-old won of course.
we walked around a lot, watched the birds, pelicans, seals, and had delicious meals.
our hotel was right next to a toy store and a candy store. There was a lot of window shopping.
and some fun coloring.
some last minute sightseeing and we were back on our way home.
and here we go. Another wonderful week gone. So grateful for my family. Here’s to a great week next week!

Hi Karen,
So glad that you had a good week, and got away a bit. Carmen was off all last week as well, so I took a vacation day Friday and spent the entire day with her. We went shopping, had lunch with Papa, and played around my house. It was a really nice just to spend some time with her. She’s so busy all the time, it’s tough to get a whole day very often! Aren’t little ones just the best?
Have a great week!
Pat
