Daily Diary – January 9 2011

Wow what a great weekend! I was super productive starting with Friday. I feel great and like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I still have a bunch of CHA stuff coming up but I can breathe for a bit now. I’m also caught up on my emails so if you’ve sent me email and I haven’t replied please know that I must have dropped the ball somewhere along the line and please resend your email!!

I snapped this shot in the morning while I was doing my art journal. I love that Nathaniel plays wherever David is. I love love love watching them play together.

And here’s me. I was testing the placement of the tripod as I prepared to take another family shot.

And an outtake from the morning. You can see how the depth of field is shallow so I look blurry because I am more forward than the rest of my family. This was also right after I popped Nathaniel’s thumb out of his mouth and he simultaneously burped so we all laughed and he’s looking at me to see why I’m laughing.

Here’s a great shot of two of my boys. David, again, was behind me so he got cut off.

Here’s the sunshine of my life giving me a smile.

And the other sunshine of my life. Also giving me a smile.

Here’s David working on his math workbook. I love watching him work.

And my little boy playing and smiling and having a good time.

And finally, tonight was family night. Something else we started for 2011. Every Sunday we spend the last hour of the kids’ day playing games together. Well, Nathaniel just watches for now. Tonight we played Zingo and Boggle, both chosen by David. It was really fun and a wonderful way to end our weekend.

After the kids went to sleep, I processed the 300some photos I took of all my CHA projects and everything else I did this weekend. And now that I am almost done, I will just work on the blog a bit and then read my first lesson from Misty. I will write a post about all the classes I am taking and teaching in the next two months. They add up to something like ten!!

I hope your weekend was amazing!

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that the weekend was so productive and still full of lots of family time. Reading with David, doing workbooks, family game night, etc. Feeling really full tonight.
2. I am grateful that my hair seems to look perfect. I washed it and it’s great. The treatment did a great job.
3. I am grateful that we had family game night tonight. I really really enjoyed it so much.
