I took this photo in David’s classroom. I like how it looks like the lion’s looking at me.
I talk about David’s eyes a lot. And they are magnificent. Amazing. I was really curious if Nathaniel’s eyes would be that way too. I figured not but just hoped so. As it turns out they are amazing too, but in a totally different way. It’s harder to capture it on film. Here’s an attempt but it doesn’t really do them justice.
Trying to have a relaxing, happy day today. Looking forward to seeing some good friends tonight. And tomorrow: work!
The amazing Stacy Julian sent me these beautiful flowers last week. Orange, of course. And so stunning. It was such a treat finding them on my doorstep.
Today’s Nathaniel.
And one that shows my flexible boy. Look at that!
And finally David let me take a shot. Isn’t he stunning?
Blech day today. I didn’t get as much as I’d like done. And I didn’t even get to read my book. I feel like I am crazy ADD right now. Not sure what I want to do first so I end up doing nothing productive or fun. Oh well. It will subside.
One more day and then I go back to work. It’s been almost 5.5 months. It’s going to be so odd. And good.
This is a shot I had leftover from Cayucos. Right now, Jake’s on a plane back here. I miss him. And I LOVE internet on the plane, yey!!
This turned out to be a very productive weekend I did six layouts, 2 creative therapy catalysts, 6 videos, and another 6 photoshop videos, and read a lot of my book. All in all, very productive.
I got two sweet ones of Nathaniel.
And David wouldn’t let me take any. I love my kids so much and just feeling so thankful and happy for them and Jake today. Here’s to a productive and happy week.
Today’s my birthday. 35. Jake had to leave town to visit a friend in New York so it was just me and the boys. We had a wonderful and relaxing day together. In the afternoon, we walked over to the local grocery store and bought a cake for David and me. I lit a little candle, made a wish, David sang me happy birthday, I blew my candle, and we both enjoyed a little piece of cake.
Here’s a shot of Nathaniel as we walked (he’s loving his thumb):
And the only shot David let me snap:
I got lots of phone calls from family and friends. Emails. Messages on Facebook and Twitter. I did a few more layouts and bought some goodies. All in all, a wonderful day. I can’t wait to see what 35 will bring!
Today was a fantastic day! Absolutely awesome! Nathaniel’s naps all lined up and he slept for a long time while I filmed movies for here and I even did a layout and an upcoming catalyst tonight. I just felt like it all just synced. Ah. Thankful for days like this.
Not great but still. I wanted to snap one of the two of us so here we are.
September 11…and Jake flew to New York from CA today. So many memories. So many terrible ones. I am thankful for being alive today.
Feeling extra-crabby today. I am guessing it’s the hormones but it’s rough. Here’s to a better tomorrow.
Here’s today’s Nathaniel:
Happy Thursday.
First day of school. Since most of his classmates are the same as last year and he knows his teacher really well, David didn’t have any problem adjusting to school today. It was fun watching him go right in and play.
The tears came much later when I went to pick him up and he realized he wasn’t having lunch at school anymore. He was angry and crying. I tried to explain to him that he’d be home with me and Nathaniel but he didn’t like it one bit.
Nathaniel watched him in awe as he played with all the toys and hugged all of his classmates.
I feel so lucky that he loves school so much. I hope that wherever he ends up going next year for kindergarten, he makes good, solid friends and loves his teachers just as much.
Exactly one week from today, I start work. After five and a half months of maternity it will be interesting going back to work. I am anxious yet excited.
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.
