Lots of photos today. As with all mornings recently, I got up, gave the kids food, exercised, did some art, some reading with David, and then started work. I found Nathaniel like this today and I grabbed my camera right away. I love the idea of my kids reading and reading is definitely my favorite thing to do with my time so I hope hope that the love has passed on to them, too.
And, David, too.
I don’t know if you remember, but back when we went camping, I was looking for the shoes I bought for Nathaniel. I had looked and looked and couldn’t find them to save my life. And, guess what? Nathaniel found them today! (and he is wearing different clothes cause he peed on the other ones. happens often in our house sadly.)
And then tried to put them on.
And then gave up and chose to play with the box instead.
Then, I put them on for him. He wasn’t sure he liked them but since he discovered them, he didn’t complain.
He kept walking to the door, so we decided to take a little walk.
We often walk to this bridge by our house. I like to take photos there. So we did again.
On the way back, the kids played for a bit. I love the way David looks at Nathaniel here.
And how happy they both are, here.
And the way Nathaniel’s looking at his brother here. Look at that love.
On the way home, David did what he does best: run run run.
All in all it was a good day. Good time with the kids, good work done, some art done, some chatting with friends, and some reading with David. I am still in a bit of a funk but way better than yesterday which is good news for tomorrow.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for the art I’ve been creating. Some better than others but I like that I’ve been doing it consistently.
2. I am grateful for work being relatively smooth this week. I am not done yet and shouldn’t jinx it but so far, so good.
3. I am grateful that David’s making such big strides in reading. It’s so wonderful to see him get excited.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. legos
2. eating a peanut butter sandwich.
3. daddy.
I also took some shots around our neighbourhood.
Your’s looks so much nicer though.

Love the houses in yours just because they’re different to ours.
Yours seems bigger and mostly double story where as we have more garden around ours, with more space between the houses.
i love your shots!!!! the houses where i live are new which is why they are built close together the older ones are much better.
What book are you using for David to help him read? I have been looking at some fir Jack, could use a reco
