Feeling a little low today. Not really sure why. Nothing bad actually happened and I am not even low on sleep. Just feeling worn out maybe? I keep thinking of bad things over and over for some reason. Like I keep thinking something terrible is going to happen. Maybe it’s cause everything has been so great and I am worried something will happen to offset it. Who knows. I hope it will go away.
Here’s David at school. Much better today. One of those days where you know he’s going to come home all messy with paint everywhere.
Hope you’re having a good week!
Here’s David from school this morning. He was feeling a bit sick I think cause he got very upset after I left and ran out of class twice to give me hugs and asked me to go back and be with him. I am hoping he’s not getting sick because it would be a major bummer right now.
And here’s Nathaniel. See those beautiful eyes? I wonder if they will stay blue. What do you think?
I am trying to establish some sitting areas in each room. So the living room is for computer and TV and has this little boppy for the baby so he can sit, too. Here’s one of those rare moments where he did like it. The playroom has scrapbooking and another little seat for Nathaniel. And the bedroom is for reading. This way I don’t spend all day in the same room (or bed.)
Today was a bit challenging for us. Nathaniel just cried the whole time he was awake and I was trying to not get him to sleep too much so we fought back and forth since all he wanted to do was nurse and sleep. I hope he will sleep tonight.
He is so so beautiful though and I love him so so so much.
And of course, here’s the other one who is also manificent and he’s playing with a teaset with me right now as Natheniel sleeps (of course!) I love my boys so so much!
Here are the beautiful tulips Jake brought home. Pink and white. So so pretty.
And here’s David’s third teacher. Teacher Melissa. She’s so so sweet!
And the little boy who won’t sleep from 4am to 7am is sound asleep when I take him to school. Just not when it’s 4am.
Happy Monday!
Catalyst sixty-one is: Tell us about something that you always put off doing. Why?
Here are my words:
Despite the fact that I like clean and tidy houses, it’s the one thing I always and always put off. I wish I were tidier. I wish I had one of those perfect houses that look so organized and tidy. I don’t think it’s in the cards for me.
Jake’s mom bought David this magnificent toy that he loved immediately. He’s been playing with it nonstop.
A wonderful mother’s day here. Jake came from Boston with tulips and we sat down and chatted and then went to IKEA to run some errands. Nothing amazing, just a quiet day with my wonderful family. Couldn’t ask for anything better.
And just so you can see that Nathaniel isn’t always happy happy joy joy…
Hope your mother’s day was wonderful, too!
Even though this photo is bad quality, it is such a great photo of how awesome David is so I love it. David has always been the kind of kid who plays for hours all by himself. Today, as I was nursing Nathaniel and catching up on some TV, I turned around to find David playing quietly. He’s so so awesome.
Today was David’s best friend Joseph’s birthday. Jake’s in Boston so the three of us got in the car and went to the park where it was. I didn’t want David to miss it no matter what. He did have a great time even though we weren’t there for a long time. I am so glad we did go.
The little one slept the whole time.
The rest of our day was quiet and wonderful. I really love being home with my kids. I love my kids. I love my husband. I am feeling so thankful.
This week’s question was “What’s on your to-do list this week?”
Well seeing that I have a newborn, this was easy. Family is all that’s on my todo list this week.
Stamps, epoxy, brads, and a bit of ribbon is it.
This week’s question was “What is your superpower”
I had to think about this one for a while. My first instinct was to write what I might put down on a self-evaluation at work. I am good at getting things done. I execute. This is something that has allowed me to accomplish a lot in my life and it has allowed me to be successful in my career. But, then again, it’s not really my superpower.
My true superpower, i believe, is that i stick by people and will do anything for them. Pleasing others and seeing them happy gives me indescribable joy and I will do pretty much anything to see them happy. I give and love wholeheartedly.
Just some misting and epoxies for this one. And stitching.
This week’s question was “What is the truth?”
This was easy for me. I’ve been thinking lately about how wonderful life is and how lucky and blessed I am. So my current truth is just that: Life is wonderful.
Just some chipboard, punches and ink on this one. Nothing else.
Can you see him smiling there? He is! He is!
And here’s David with teacher Kathleen. We all love her.
Quiet day today. Finally got to do some art. A little bit but still better than none. It was so nice to spend some time with the tags. Jake’s going to be gone some of this weekend but I am still excited to have him for some of the weekend and to spend some time all four of us. I love my family so much and I feel so blessed. Speaking of family, Dad is home safe and sound, thankfully. All in all, a great week!
Here’s David and his teacher Cody. Aren’t they so sweet? David was really odd this morning. He didn’t want to get out of bed. He woke up, took off his pajamas, got dressed, and went back into bed. He kept saying he was still tired. It was really really odd.
I meant to say that the really colorful place where Nathaniel was sleeping yesterday was a present from our friend Jess. Something I really wanted so thank you so much Jess! Nathaniel loves it too. So does David. He loves playing with the baby toys everywhere. He keeps showing Nathaniel his toys too. He’s so sweet.
Here’s Nathaniel from this morning. He was actually awake when I took David to school which is pretty rare since the car puts him to sleep asap.
A better night last night. We all slept a bunch more. I decided to give myself the day off and took a morning nap and feel much more rested. The headache is still here but quiet now. The next six weeks promises to be very hectic but a good kind of hectic a new, big step in our life. I can’t wait!
