Another week low on photos, just how things go sometimes. Here are some snapshots from our week:

While I was gone for the weekend, Jake’s parents were here and they went exploring with the kids, collecting pine scones and leaves, etc.

And then built time machines.

Nathaniel’s comes with food, too, just in case.

David’s been doing homework.

accommodating me as i interrupt to snap photos.

and the little one’s been playing quietly so david can focus.

david was star of the week this week, so we went to his classroom on Friday morning.

I snapped some shots while I was there.

all the kids initialed a star for david.

he shared his packet, some stories and then we all sat to listen things his friends wrote about him. it was incredibly touching.

the light’s still been terrible but I love family photos anyway.

the boys kept making funny faces.

so there was much tickling.

and laughter.

and more laughter.

and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too.

Here are some snapshots from our week:

Army men’s been a big hit.

David’s been teaching Nathaniel how to strategize.

he’s also been building more of his legos. This boat is from the Lighthouse which is awesome!

Nathaniel’s been playing with his toys, too.

finding creative uses for all of the toy’s parts.

we took a short trip to the Palo Alto Jr. Museum and Zoo and got to see bobcats, spiders, bees, bats, birds, fish, and many other animals.

and I snapped some photos of the kids, of course.

we played Blokus. Even Nathaniel’s pretty good at it.

our Christmas tree is still up and will be until mid January this year cause I will be away at a course next weekend and can’t take it down. Oh so sad. Not.

David’s been playing with the Origami Yoda books too and practicing his origami.

We’ve also been playing with paper and punches. Tons of fun.

the dark weather hasn’t been helping my photos.

but I soldier on anyway.

and here we go. i hope your week was lovely, too. here’s to a wonderful, incredible, peaceful 2013!
