Catalyst sixty-three is: Tell us about your perfect day (either one you’ve had or one you imagine.)
Here are my words:
There are some days that are meant to be perfect. Like a wedding day, a graduation, a birth, a honeymoon. But then there are those other days that start out absolutely ordinary. Never promising more. On rare occasions, one of these days turn out magnificent. Unexpected. Perfect. Those are the extraordinary moments life is made out of. Joshua Tree was one of those days for me. I will never, ever forget it.
Nathaniel’s one month old today. It is going by so fast and he’s such a joy and delight. Happy one-month little boy.
I am still sick so we went to urgent care today and after spending 2 hours and 45 minutes there, it turns out I am fine and just came back home to rest and drink lots of water. bleh. At least David was in a good mood.
All in all, a quiet day with lots of TV and family time. What else can I ask for?
He’s feeling better, can you tell?
I’m still sick. Caughing, sneezing, shivering. yuck. So we all napped, watched TV, and just relaxed. We all needs days like this every now and then.
And, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aksel and Jeff! I love you and miss you!
Look at that cute little boy. Isn’t he so sweet? I love all the faces he makes. So much personality in such a little package.
David is still sick so I kept him home today, too. I finally took him to the doctor and it turns out he has sinusitis the poor boy. So he’s on antibiotics now and hopefully will get better much more quickly. But, of course, to keep life interesting, now I am sick. Ugh.
Tonight, we attempted to go to I
KEA
(after renting a truck) and buy the 15 new pieces of furniture I wanted to buy and it turns out they each weigh like 100 lbs which is not a realistic number to carry when you have a newborn on a Bjorn, a 4year old who’s having fun with all the boxes and a poor daddy who’s been up since 4am. So that plan was aborted and we returned he truck and decided the delivery price was worth it. Oh well.
And, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you Madly!
David’s still sick so he was home with us today. Which meant not much got done today but that’s ok. I love being home with my kids. Here he is waking up from a nap. I think he’s finally getting better. This week’s felt like a series of Fridays for some reason. Tho tomorrow finally is Friday.
Here’s the little one. Still not sleeping perfectly but I love him so!
Good day today! Despite the fact that the baby decided 4am was morning time and spent the next two hours just cooing and looking around. I still got a lot done this afternoon and something I’ve been really anxiously waiting for did arrive today so I am just happy. And look how peacefully he’s sleeping. Isn’t he so sweet?
Those eyes still look blue to me! And here’s poor David who’s been caughing and just feeling crabby for days now. Poor little boy.
Happy hump day!
Another day at home with two. David was caughing so much last night and this morning that even Jake said we shouldn’t send him to school. So home, he stays. Here he is telling the baby how much he loves him. He’s my sunshine.
And here he is being all cool with his cool glasses. He even asked me to take this photo.
And here’s the daily Nataniel. Another one of my sunshines.
And, of course, the tulip.
So far, no the most productive day but let’s see how the afternoon is.
Doesn’t he look so peaceful? Well, we’re still on the cry, eat, sleep schedule. And now boy #1 is also home since he’s got pinkeye.
Yum.
Catalyst Sixty-Two is: What’s a personality trait you admire/seek in others? Why?.
Here are my words:
The trait I admire most in others is what I call “being comfortable in your skin.” I have a few friends who are just like that. They know who they are and they are comfortable with themselves. It’s not confidence as much as just a level of self-comfort. When I hang out with them, I always find myself wishing I were like that too. It’s something I am working on: loving myself the way I am.
David’s getting pretty clever about the photo taking lately. Making cute and funny faces so he can have some fun with me. He’s being so nice to everyone and he tells us ten times a day how much he loves us and how much he loves the baby. He’s just the nicest kid ever. I feel so so lucky.
Nathaniel, on the other hand, has been going through what I think is a growth spurt. All he does is eat, cry and sleep. If he’s not eating or sleeping, he’s pretty much crying. I feel bad for him and I am pretty tired too so I hope it’s not going to last too long.
He still looks so so cute, doesn’t he?
Here’s David after a long nap from which he didn’t want to wake up. Not a happy camper.
Not the best day. Nathaniel decided not to sleep much after 2:30am so I’ve been up all night and all day and I couldn’t sleep when he did finally fall asleep so I am dead tired. I think he’s having a growth spurt cause he will not stop nursing all day either. Well, tomorrow is another day 🙂
Happy Saturday to you.
I know it’s a terrible photo but I love the feeling in it so it stays.
Productive day! yey! I got some errands done and then went to work to have lunch with my friend Cole. I saw about a million people which made it hard to chat with Cole but it was great to see everyone. I stayed a bit longer than I should have though and Nathaniel was really hungry by the time we got home. I even bought moving boxes. Yey me.
Here’s how I found David at school today. He had some boo-boos. But he’s so so cute. And here’s the little one, sleeping peacefully.
