I told myself that today would be a relaxing day. Not getting anything done. No pressure for me. So right now I am watching TV and Nathaniel is sprawled on my lap, sleeping soundly and peacefully. He’s so so cute.
And here’s David from this morning with his Buzz Lightyear helmet. He’s such a doll!!
Oh, and, rabbit rabbit.
A quiet-ish day here. Eveyone was a bit tired and a bit cranky so we all laid low. Here’s David giving a kiss to the baby. He does this many times a day.
And Nathaniel touching him (albeit unintentionally).
Look at those beautiful lips. He’s so so cute.
And the funny boy with a funny face!
Tomorrow is a new month. Possibly a big one for us. Hope your weekend was great!
Catalyst sixty-four is: Create art about a time when something that then seemed small happened but then it ended up changing your life.
Here’s my text:
Years ago, I was sitting at school with a friend who told me that a friend of hers (someone I only knew as an acquaintance) had had a really bad day. I am not sure what prompted me, but I emailed her friend that day and asked him if he was ok. Next thing I know, we were hanging out, becoming friends. And then dating. And then we got married. And now we have two kids. It all started with one single email. Amazing what can change in a moment.
David, the junior pirate! He loves his new pajamas!
And Nathaniel cranky whenever I don’t hold him.
David kisses Nathaniel, trying to calm him down. Nathaniel is really lucky to have him.
Good day! We watched Street Fight (excellent!) this morning and Jake held the sleeping Nathaniel while I cleaned up all my scrap stuff. It’s amazing how much stuff I have, especially the Thickers. Off to do some more cleanup.

Journaling Reads:
I’m not known for my sense of humor.
I don’t laugh very often.
Except when I am with you.
You make me smile and laugh
every single day, my son.
Thank you for bringing so much
joy into my life.
Thank you.

Journaling Reads:
When I was expecting you, everyone told me to be prepared.
Your brother would be jealous, they said.
He will act out.
I knew they were wrong, but I kept quiet.
You’ll see, they said.
All kids do.
Well, I was right, of course.
You have the best brother in the world.
The day after you were born,
he was already reading stories to you.
And giving you kisses.
You are so lucky, my boy.
And so am I.

Journaling Reads:
My sister, Yona, doesn’t visit very often.
In fact, the last time she was here was seven years ago
and the last time she saw you was almost three years ago.
So, I was very excited when she decided to come see us.
Once she arrived and you saw all the presents she brought
(and there were many!)
you were instant best friends.
But the best memories you and Yona made
were over blowing kisses.
She taught you how to blow and catch kisses
and you two spent hours playing that game.
“It went on the ceiling,” she shouted.
“It went inside my tummy,” you shrieked.
And you laughed and laughed.
David, it makes me so happy
to see you and my sister share a special bond.
I hope it lasts forever.
Here’s the wonderful David reading to his little brother. Isn’t he awesome?
And Nathaniel doing tummy time.
Long day here. Nathaniel wouldn’t sleep even after a trip to the park. David peed in his bed. The mailman came but didn’t leave the packages so we had to drive to the post office to get them. Ugh.
Look at the little feet and hands!! I love them. I need to photograph a lot more baby parts. Mini photo shoot for my boy.
And here’s the smiley boy. He’s such a sweetheart.
And David is sweet as always too. I love him love him love him. A rough start today. Nathaniel wouldn’t sleep from 5:30am to 1pm. But then passed out finally. And he’s slept 3 times since then. Sleeping now. I got a bunch done tho. Wrote my journaling for the June layouts for a Million Memories and organized a lot of stuff using Evernote and even packed a box. Got lots lots lots more to do of course but making slooooow progress.
This is David’s I am looking at you but not listening face. Can’t help but love the boy. He’s loving being back at school; it’s a shame we only have one more week and that’s it for the year.
And here’s the little one who had a rough day today. Not enough naps.
I got some work done today, cleaned up a bit and watched Marley and Me and Yes Men. And some quality family time. All in all, good day!
Look at the little boy. He’s so alert and content. He had his one-month checkup today and all is wonderful. He’s 21 inches and 8lbs 3oz. Yey! Growing wonderfully. He was in such a good mood. Even when he had his Hepatatis shot, he only cried for two minutes.
And David is back at school. Yey!!
Got a lot of work done today cleaning up. Not that you can tell at all…oh well.
