How do you not fall in love with this little boy?
And here’s David, eating, watching a movie, and playing all at the same time. At his little table.
His eyes are still sort of blue. This week has been relatively unproductive, but I am hoping next week will be better. Nathaniel isn’t sleeping well at night. I can’t tell if it’s something I am doing wrong or just cause he’s still so little.
We had the pleasure of our friends Manu and Hana’s visit today, it was great. Especially since they had such wonderful news. I am glad that we’re starting to see friends again. I miss seeing people.
David spends so much time trying to get Nathaniel to laugh that I wanted to capture a few of the photos of Nathaniel looking at him and smiling.
And here’s David:
An uneventful day here, feeling tired and unmotivated. Trying to cut myself some slack and let myself rest. Hope your Monday is well.
And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUKI!
A productive weekend here and a relaxing one. I finished Nathaniel’s book and caught up on almost all the tags. Still have some catalysts to do but making progress.
I hope this week is just as productive.
We started today early by taking the car too the shop and then took a trip to Target to buy David shoes where we bought this lego toy.
Here’s the sweet boy.
And Nathaniel’s still chewing on his fist.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching Tour de France. I did two more Nathaniel layouts. I have only one left to do to catch up. I leave you with more photos of him.
and here’s a finny face.
David started his soccer class today. He had so much fun! I had fun just watching him. But, of course, I was the one mother who didn’t bring him water. Thankfully, there was a vending machine and so I was able to fix the situation.
Then we came home, ate, watched some movies and took some photos of Nathaniel.
And then both the boys fell asleep while I worked on Nathaniel’s baby-book layouts.
Oh, and I came home to a surprise from Linda at Sakura of America. They are wonderful sponsors for creative therapy and I told her how much I loved this week’s prize and here’s what I got in the mail:
Isn’t she awesome? This is a fantastic company and I LOVE these pens.
Here’s to a good weekend!
Not a great day for photos. We had a lot of visitors today. Someone came to fix the tub and then someone else to fix the paint. Tomorrow they come for the garden and then we’re done. At least for now.
Well, we have to take the car in on Saturday but that’s not for the house.
Still being relatively unproductive cause I am so tired. But I did two layouts for Nathaniel’s book. So that was progress.
Here’s to a better tomorrow.
David and I decided to cook some of the veggies we got from our CSA. With the help of Ina (Barefoot Contessa) we made some roasted green beans and they were delicious!
All in all, an unproductive day today. Not feeling up to doing anything. I decided to allow myself a day of rest so that I can give myself permission not to be productive today. Oh well. At this moment, David’s playing with some of my stickers while the little one sleeps.
And I am working on catching up here while the SSH is still down. ugh.
This is our delivery from the CSA we’re using for July:Eating with the Seasons. The best part is that they let you choose what you get delivered each week. This week we got: broccoli, squash, zucchini, green beans, pluots, strawberries, valencia oranges, and nectarines. So far, so good!
I was expecting today to be rough. We started our day with a dentist’s appointment for David. His teeth are shiny clean now, look:
Nathaniel napped right on my shoulder the whole time. And then we came back home and did our morning routine and then left the house again at 2:30 for David’s first gymnastics class:
He hadn’t taken his nap so he was really tired and I think the class tired him out even more. Though he appeared to be enjoying it, he said he didn’t like it. We agreed to try it for one more week and then see. After the class, we went to pickup our CSA food and came home, all tired. And then Jake came home and we all watched the Team Time Trial on Stage 4 of Tour de France.
And to end our evening, my friends Holly, Peisun, and Nadia from Google came over with pizza, diapers, brownies and gift certificates to Godiva. All in all, the day was long but fantastic.
Since yesterday was about Nathaniel’s project, today’s for David’s room. I bought these planets last Christmas and they finally made it to the new house. We plan to hang them this week and that makes us done for everything we’ve alredy done.
We started today on a really bad note since nathaniel really struggled last night and neither of us slept much. David was kind enough to play in his room as I took a nap while Nathaniel slept this morning. But somehow I threw out my back in the process and it’s hurting like crazy. Tomorrow is a really long day for me so I am hoping that it will be better by then (even though it’s likely that it won’t be.)
I also started Nathaniel’s book today finally and I think I really like the system I came up with. Let’s see how it looks when it comes together.
Here’s a sneak of a project I worked on yesterday, all day. It turned out quite cute, if I say so myself. I didn’t think I could do it, I am not so good at doing home projects but this one was fun to do.
We started the morning quietly. Nathaniel played on his chair.
And David finished the Star Wars movie he’d started yesterday.
And then both boys took naps while I did some art.
Look at that finger…
When he woke up and nursed, he was all smiley and happy.
All in all, a great Sunday here.
I am the biggest fan of Tour de France. Well, let me rephrase. I am the biggest fan of Tour de France when Lance is in it. When we lived in San Diego, watched every minute of the Tour and loved it. But, somehow, once Lance stopped, I stopped too. It wasn’t interesting to me anymore. So imagine my joy when he decided to come back! I am now back to watching every minute of it. I wonder if I am one of the only people who watches this obsessively, yet, cannot ride a bike.
This is David’s “I’m not friends with you anymore” face. Which he makes whenever he doesn’t get his way. So, quite often.
When Jake and David discovered that Return of the Jedi was on TV, everything else stopped. All three boys were watching TV and hanging out.
Nathaniel spent some quality time with his Daddy today. Sitting by his side.
and walking around.
Nathaniel has recently discovered his fist and he’s been sucking on it feverishly. The slurpy noises are hilarious.
And here’s a big smile to end a wonderful day.
I hope your July Fourth was as great as ours.
