December Daily 2009 – Day 6

Here are my pages for day six.

Simple pages today.

here’s the back:

that’s it.

Daily Photos – December 6 2009

Today we stayed home. Relaxed and made pound cake. When I downloaded photos I found this one of David and laughed and laughed.

Aurelia has been super-clingy but he’s also learned to stand up al by himself. He’s quite amazing.

Tired but thankful.

Photography Tips – Lenses – Telephoto

Apologies for the delay in this. Today’s video is on telephoto . If you hear some background noise, that’s the fan of my laptop, apologies.

Next week is lenses too. My favorite lens.

Photography Tips is a weekly feature and is posted every Friday. You can find all of them here.

simple day today.

Daily Photos – December 5 2009

We went to have breakfast with Santa at the Menlo Park recreational center today.

Before that, Jake and the kids had some family time listening to music.

And here is Aurelia.

A lovely day and then we had a delicious lunch at Donato in Redwood City. Three days ago, it was our fifteenth anniversary (dating) and today was the celebratory lunch. Delicious.

Off to spend some family time. Happy Saturday. Movie coming soon I promise.

Happy day 4.

Daily Photos – December 4 2009

We just came back from riding the Train of Lights in Niles, CA. It was magical and wonderful and fun and even Aurelia didn’t complain too much despite missing a nap and staying up past bedtime.

This train was decorated inside and out with Santa and carolers and everything.

I loved all the decorations and if it weren’t for taking care of Aurelia I might have taken 1000 photos. As it is, I took 112.

David loved it, too.

And here’s the litte boy. Seconds after this he was off the carseat and on our laps for the rest of the trip.

And here are my three boys. Loves of my life.

December daily page and the weekly movie coming tomorrow! Too tired to move now.

December Daily 2009 – Day 3

Here are my pages for day three.

This is a simple one. About making ornaments yesterday.

and the back:

And a closeup.

Yey for another day.

Daily Photos – December 3 2009

Jake snapped a few photos of the three of us this morning. I love them and their imperfection.

And this one. I love how his wings are folded but out.

My boys.

And one of just Aurelia.

Trying to achieve some peace and calm today. This week went by too fast, I need time to slow down a bit.

On another note, my class started today. Yey!

Daily Photos – December 2 2009

Yes, still stuck on the ornaments but this is a special one. We made this one today, David and I. Well mostly David.

While I attempted to accomplish some work, Aurelia and David played together.

And then Aurelia went around and put everything in his mouth.

Yep this was in his mouth seconds later.

And then as he napped, I took a short break to help David make some ornaments. He made a total of 5 different ones but this one is my favorite.

Still feeling out of sorts but hoping it will pass before the week is out and I can settle into some sort of routine. Let’s see…
