Before I forget, HAPPY Birthday Daddy!! I love love love you so much!
Jake was working from home today and it made such a difference in my day. Even the little bit of extra help made me feel more relaxed and calmer. I wish he was around all the time.
David’s been working on this big lego city he’s building on the dinner table. Photos to come.
Nathaniel is exploring the room and throwing around anything he can find.
Especially his water bottles.
And he’s chewing anything he can find, too. The teeth are just always itching now I imagine.
I convinced David to let me take a photo today.
And then snapped another one while he was working on his Lego sticker book which he finished today and he was very proud of it.
His feet while he’s focused on the Lego book.
Later that day, Nathaniel discovered all of David’s markers and spread them all over the room so David is putting them back here and Nathaniel is watching him with interest, of course.
I got quite a bit of work done today and started tackling a big project that I am happy to tackle. I also did some work on my blog and scheduled a lot of the posts I’ve been working on for the last month. I’ve got a few more things left on my June list but I am feeling great about it and want to focus on July now. I have a few ideas for July but haven’t sat down to decide concretely just yet.
Note to Self:
I’m still thinking about the Anna Quindlen book I just finished. It’s reminding me to not focus on the small things. Or even the medium things. Life works out ok for the most part and it’s better to truly enjoy it and savor the moments as opposed to worrying about all the details and stressing about everything. I need to remember this way more often.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Having Jake around today. It was wonderful.
2. I am so grateful for the internet today and for all the crafty people who make youtube videos and crafty tutorials. Thank you for doing that, it truly makes my day.
3. I am grateful for summer and the laziness of summer. Spending the day in our pajamas. Not having to rush anywhere. Feeling happy and taking it all slow. I love that.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. mommy.
2. daddy.
(down to the basics or too bored to think, not sure.)
I just took out the latest Anna Quindlen from the library – must be the same one (can’t remember the title right now) – but I opted to start The Elegance of the Hedgehog first. I’m about 80 pages into that and it’s not thrilling me. Maybe I’m looking for a lighter read right now.
you got my mail right? don’t read it!
