Daily Diary – March 21 2010

This whole time while we were gone, I didn’t end up taking a photo of all of us. So right before we left, we asked Jake to snap some photos of us.

Unfortunately Colleen had already left because there was a fire in her building (which was actually fine in that it hadn’t touched her store at all, thankfully.) So here’s a shot of Colleen, too.

And of course here’s the little boy. This is the face I got when I told him no nursing for a bit (I was doing something but of course this face meant I gave in and nursed.)

I have a lot more to write about this weekend but I just got back home and I have so much to do, so more later.

Note to Self:
I realized so many things about myself this weekend. Things I want to change. Things I will change. Over the next few months I will explain more and more partly cause I am still thinking about so much of it and I prefer to digest it first. But it’s amazing how sometimes you think of something and it makes you sad and other times you are not just sad but totally driven to fix it deeply. The sense of urgency takes over. Let’s see if it will actually be action-oriented. Here’s to hoping.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful to be home. I missed my boys so much.
2. I am grateful for how my awesome husband took such good care of our little boy.
3. I am also grateful for some fun TV that has been waiting for me.

Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. Getting to watch TV
2. Playing with his legos
I asked him if he was grateful to have Nathaniel back and he said he was grateful to have me back. Sweet boy.

    oh my, such a sad face. I would never be able to say no!! Your children are so beautiful and precious. Savor every minute. Mine are grown. I still look at them when they are sleeping and wonder where the time went.My youngest was just home for spring break and I couldn’t get enough of her.Luckily she was happy to spend time with me. So glad you are safely home.

    Hi Karen,

    You look so relaxed and happy in the pictures. I’m glad you had a good time, and it’s clear that you did.
