We went to visit David’s classroom today. School starts tomorrow. His last year in pre-school. Wow. Time passes too quickly.

And here’s today’s Nathaniel shot.

A bit too tired to write more tonight. See you tomorrow.

An appetizer of olive oils. Yum.

I love this boy so much.

Uneventful day here. Everyone was tired and a bit grouchy. Here’s to a productive and good week.

Today we went to our friends Jess and Chris’s for their son Beckett’s third birthday. That meant Nathaniel took his nap in the car and it was super-short and then the rest of today looked like this:

Yes, that’s why we tend to try to stick to our schedule as much as possible.

My wonderful husband turned 35 today. To celebrate his birthday, we went to this fantastic restaurant in Redwood City and had a delicious meal.

Here he is. My beautiful husband.

Nathaniel was mostly well-behaved and did a good job of staying quiet and joyful.

So was David. And he got to eat delicious delicious chocolate ice cream because of it.

That’s why I didn’t get to write yesterday. It was a full-on family day. Where we laughed and played together. Wonderful time.

Happy, happy birthday my love. To many many many more!

A little leaf being born. I love how the young leaves have that light, strong green compared to the older deep, dark ones.

And here’s Nathaniel. He is sitting up unassisted for longer periods now. Maybe 2-3 minutes.

And those feet. Those wonderful feet.

A relaxing uneventful day here. I don’t think I accomplished one thing and I feel ok about it. I’m going back to work soon, gotta enjoy these last few days. Here’s to a great weekend.

David caught a ladybug today. He was really gentle and waited patiently until I changed to my macro lens and snapped this shot.

And this one. I love how his wings are folded but out.

The little one and I sat outside in the backyard as David played.

We both watched him and smiled.

And he smiled right back.

The joy of my life. I’m feeling better. Things are starting to fall in sync a little bit and the baby is sleeping a bit better. I see small flickers of light in the distance. Just small ones for now, but light nonetheless…

Nothing like a few wicker baskets. Especially ones full of fabric.

Nathaniel loves sucking his thumb lately. He’s found it and he uses it liberally to calm himself down. I think he looks so cute.

For the first time since I started putting him in his bed, he’s been sleeping for over 45 minutes. I know that as soon as I type these words, he will wake up. But, for now, I am just thankful for the magic of it. May it continue.

David’s teacher visited today. I can’t believe he’s only got one more year of preschool. He’s growing up way way too quickly.

I love seeing this sign every time I sit at my desk. Thank you Jen Lemen.

David spent the day playing with my punches. He had so much fun.

And so did Nathaniel. When he wasn’t taking his super-power-naps that last like 15 minutes. Ugh.

I am reorganizing my blog for the month of September. Stay tuned. Trying to get better and more planned about what I do here. Not sure why. But I guess why not 🙂 Downloads, and more, are coming, I promise.

Rabbit rabbit.
