Here’s David after a long nap from which he didn’t want to wake up. Not a happy camper.



Not the best day. Nathaniel decided not to sleep much after 2:30am so I’ve been up all night and all day and I couldn’t sleep when he did finally fall asleep so I am dead tired. I think he’s having a growth spurt cause he will not stop nursing all day either. Well, tomorrow is another day 🙂







Happy Saturday to you.

I know it’s a terrible photo but I love the feeling in it so it stays.



Productive day! yey! I got some errands done and then went to work to have lunch with my friend Cole. I saw about a million people which made it hard to chat with Cole but it was great to see everyone. I stayed a bit longer than I should have though and Nathaniel was really hungry by the time we got home. I even bought moving boxes. Yey me.







Here’s how I found David at school today. He had some boo-boos. But he’s so so cute. And here’s the little one, sleeping peacefully.

Feeling a little low today. Not really sure why. Nothing bad actually happened and I am not even low on sleep. Just feeling worn out maybe? I keep thinking of bad things over and over for some reason. Like I keep thinking something terrible is going to happen. Maybe it’s cause everything has been so great and I am worried something will happen to offset it. Who knows. I hope it will go away.







Here’s David at school. Much better today. One of those days where you know he’s going to come home all messy with paint everywhere.



Hope you’re having a good week!

Here’s David from school this morning. He was feeling a bit sick I think cause he got very upset after I left and ran out of class twice to give me hugs and asked me to go back and be with him. I am hoping he’s not getting sick because it would be a major bummer right now.







And here’s Nathaniel. See those beautiful eyes? I wonder if they will stay blue. What do you think?

I am trying to establish some sitting areas in each room. So the living room is for computer and TV and has this little boppy for the baby so he can sit, too. Here’s one of those rare moments where he did like it. The playroom has scrapbooking and another little seat for Nathaniel. And the bedroom is for reading. This way I don’t spend all day in the same room (or bed.)



Today was a bit challenging for us. Nathaniel just cried the whole time he was awake and I was trying to not get him to sleep too much so we fought back and forth since all he wanted to do was nurse and sleep. I hope he will sleep tonight.







He is so so beautiful though and I love him so so so much.







And of course, here’s the other one who is also manificent and he’s playing with a teaset with me right now as Natheniel sleeps (of course!) I love my boys so so much!

Here are the beautiful tulips Jake brought home. Pink and white. So so pretty.



And here’s David’s third teacher. Teacher Melissa. She’s so so sweet!







And the little boy who won’t sleep from 4am to 7am is sound asleep when I take him to school. Just not when it’s 4am.







Happy Monday!

Jake’s mom bought David this magnificent toy that he loved immediately. He’s been playing with it nonstop.



A wonderful mother’s day here. Jake came from Boston with tulips and we sat down and chatted and then went to IKEA to run some errands. Nothing amazing, just a quiet day with my wonderful family. Couldn’t ask for anything better.







And just so you can see that Nathaniel isn’t always happy happy joy joy…







Hope your mother’s day was wonderful, too!

Even though this photo is bad quality, it is such a great photo of how awesome David is so I love it. David has always been the kind of kid who plays for hours all by himself. Today, as I was nursing Nathaniel and catching up on some TV, I turned around to find David playing quietly. He’s so so awesome.



Today was David’s best friend Joseph’s birthday. Jake’s in Boston so the three of us got in the car and went to the park where it was. I didn’t want David to miss it no matter what. He did have a great time even though we weren’t there for a long time. I am so glad we did go.







The little one slept the whole time.







The rest of our day was quiet and wonderful. I really love being home with my kids. I love my kids. I love my husband. I am feeling so thankful.

Can you see him smiling there? He is! He is!



And here’s David with teacher Kathleen. We all love her.







Quiet day today. Finally got to do some art. A little bit but still better than none. It was so nice to spend some time with the tags. Jake’s going to be gone some of this weekend but I am still excited to have him for some of the weekend and to spend some time all four of us. I love my family so much and I feel so blessed. Speaking of family, Dad is home safe and sound, thankfully. All in all, a great week!

Here’s David and his teacher Cody. Aren’t they so sweet? David was really odd this morning. He didn’t want to get out of bed. He woke up, took off his pajamas, got dressed, and went back into bed. He kept saying he was still tired. It was really really odd.



I meant to say that the really colorful place where Nathaniel was sleeping yesterday was a present from our friend Jess. Something I really wanted so thank you so much Jess! Nathaniel loves it too. So does David. He loves playing with the baby toys everywhere. He keeps showing Nathaniel his toys too. He’s so sweet.



Here’s Nathaniel from this morning. He was actually awake when I took David to school which is pretty rare since the car puts him to sleep asap.







A better night last night. We all slept a bunch more. I decided to give myself the day off and took a morning nap and feel much more rested. The headache is still here but quiet now. The next six weeks promises to be very hectic but a good kind of hectic a new, big step in our life. I can’t wait!

See how he’s sleeping peacefully? So sweet? He didn’t do much of that last night. Nor did David. I think they conspired to make sure I didn’t have a sleep-ful night so here I am tired with a horrifying headache that won’t go away. Ugh.



Thankfully, I have the world’s best husband ever cause he left work early, gassed up both of the cars, went grocery shopping, and then picked up David. He’s an angel. I just was completely useless all day. I slept. I tried to sleep and then slept some more. That was about it.



Here’s the big brother.







My dad had an operation today. Got his gallbladder removed. I am so thankful to know he’s ok and so thankful for iChat and Skype. And the internet. I was there with them as much as possible. Get well quickly, Daddy.

Today was Nathaniel’s follow up appointment to make sure he’d gained his weight back. As you can see, he’s not as fan of being weighed. The good news is he’s gained all of the weight back and a bit more. Yey! A lot of photos to share today.



Tonight while I was processing photos, Nathaniel was lying in my bed, looking around and David decided he wanted to talk to him and give him hugs and kisses. He kept bringing toys to show the baby. He really is being ultra sweet to Nathaniel.





David came home from school covered in green paint today. I mean all over. Like the Hulk. When I left him this morning, he was doing a Mother’s Day project. I wonder if that’s what the green was for.





Here’s one of Nathaniel from early in the morning. He loves looking around and watching everything.





And finally another shot of the beautiful tulips.

A lot of little errands again today. I might finally be seeing the bottom of that list which is good cause I’d love to do some art. Let’s see if I get to this week. Oh, and, I hope you get well really soon Daddy, I love you!
