Us Right Now & Weekly Update – October 22

jake
Good week for Jake. A few meetings, a lot of traveling back and forth between the city and Berkeley and here so long days. He was also nice enough to go get my parents from the airport and to get our carseats fixed. We moved them so Nathaniel’s now facing forward. Jake took the car to the professional installation place and ended up installing the whole thing by himself. A lot of work but now it’s done.

Crazy week for me. I spent all of early this past week trying to get a new build done and then I pushed it out and we found some last minute issues so I had to work feverishly to get them all resolved and fix and push again. I also didn’t do as much art journaling as I am used to. And now that my parents are visiting, I imagine it’s going to quiet down even further for a while. But that’s ok. I really am so glad to have them here.

David had a great week at school. He took his gratitude journal to share. He got a bunch of books and he seemed to have a lot of fun. He didn’t have school Monday so it was a short week for him. With my parents’ arrival he‘s also been super-happy. He got a LEGO book, a science set and a Batman cave so he’s been playing the whole time and he’s just thrilled to have my father to play with and tell stories to. Monday he gets to talk in front of the whole school, representing his class.

Nathaniel is his happy, jovial self. He’s really into counting lately but refuses to say six or seven. So he goes one, two, three, four, five, eight. And no matter how much I say six or seven, he will not say them. He’s still loving school. As soon as he walks in he kisses me and says bye and goes off to play. I am so grateful that he’s so happy there. He’s also super-happy my parents are here and loves his new train set and cars. He’s been playing with and kissing and hugging my parents non stop. Wonderful week for all of us.

Here are some of my favorite captured moments from this week:

Last sunday’s family shot:

and tickle-time:

on Monday we played with stamps:

Nathaniel adored doing it.

So did David.

And then they colored them in, too.

Here’s Nathaniel’s “don’t take my photo” face.

and a smile from David:

Nathaniel played with his trains a lot while David was at school

I love this smile.

I love this one, too because David’s reading so much now. He loves to read all the time.

Little boy and his blankie.

David’s don’t-take-my-photo face.

I tried to snap one with my dad and Nathaniel but he wasn’t cooperating.

And it was even harder to get one of the four of them.

And here we are at the last few hours of the weekend. I hope yours was well.
