He looks smiley but he’s been fussy almost all day and went on a full-out wailing spree when we were in Safeway today. Despite that, I got to run some errands and unpacked 12 more boxes. The end is still not in sight but I am feeling more hopeful. No art today. Maybe tomorrow…

And here’s one of David. He’s been wearing the Buzz Lightyear costume daily lately. I didn’t think he was into dressing up but obviously I was wrong. He’s so cute in it.

My friend Nicholas and Ty came over today and David immediately took Ty hostage and Ty was generous enough to play with him and read to him. He’s the best. So is Nicholas who helped me!

Nathaniel had his 2-month appointment today which meant shots which meant a fever of 101. Poor boy.

Quiet day today. I decided not to do any unpacking today. Just some rest time. Family time and a small project for Big Picture Scrapbooking.

David and Daddy playing. Can you see his joy?

David has never ever been in water. Ever. Not one time since he was born. For the first four years, his pediatrician recommended otherwise so we never took swimming classes. But this summer, I wanted to register him for classes and see how he does in the water. I was a bit nervous but never said anything to him. Well, it turns out he was a superstar! From the first moment, he jumped, he put his head under water, he made bubbles. It was like he’s always been in water. I can tell this will be a fun class!

Jake’s parents have been in town and before they left, I wanted to make sure to capture some photos of them and Nathaniel. In this photo aboce he definitely looks just like me.

The Hulk David! He’s been having so much fun with this costume. And here’s one of the baby.

And just in case you think I don’t have one from yesterday for Nathaniel, here it is. David kissing him while his grandmother holds him. Much loved.

Those stunning eyes. I wonder if Nathaniel will have them, too.

Catalyst 67 – The Better Gender

Catalyst sixty-seven is: What’s your favorite part about being a woman or a man?

my words:

I am a firm believer that women are the better and stronger gender. Maybe because I’ve been lucky enough never to suffer any kind of discrimination as a woman so I only see the advantages. The ability to carry babies. The ability to multitask and to love unconditionally. To care. To feel. To cry. To communicate. To be soft and tender when needed and tough when needed. To be gentle. To be intelligent and emotional at the same time. To get things done.

I am not sure why but I’ve always felt that women are, in general, more capable and more intelligent then men. I hold women in the highest regard and feel like I’m honored and delighted to be one. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
