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.

The swing means a sleeping boy. Don’t worry he sleeps in his crib all night. And ppor David is a bit bored.
And here’s one from yesterday that I missed.

Yes, he is still on the swing.

Getting a teenty tiny bit settled in.

Relatively represantative of how our day has been. Blinders. IKEA. Crate and Barrell. Boxes. Unhappy children.

Ok, catch up time. We had no internet for DAYS! so I am going to post all the photos first and then I’ll write up some words. Apologies ahead of time for the flood of posts.
Moving day.

These look like ordinary keys to you but they are not! They are the keys to our new home. Our first home. We are excited beyond belief. Thank you Mom and Dad!!
Here’s the handsome boy with his one toy that’s not packed.
Aurelia isn’t really sleeping at night. It’s making me a bit crazy but I know it will be over soon so I am just trying to hang in there.
This is going to be a long long week for us so cross your fingers. See you when I have internet again.

I know, I know. It’s dark in my house, photos come out blurry. I am working on it. But look at those hands! Quiet, happy day here. Aurelia napped like on schedule every two hours. Yes!
We have no food left at home and all of his toys are packed so David’s been watching movies and eating crackers. Yes, I know I am a terrible mom.

Here’s my handsome boy. David went to his friend Halina’s birthday today and Jake sent me videos from there as it was happenning and it was so fun. I love technology so much. And here he is playing with Aurelia.
I love all my boys so so much!
I had a wonderful 90 minutes today as I visited my friend Cole’s new house. Delicious food, wonderful company, and great conversation. Thank you, Cole!
Tomorrow starts our big week. Please cross your fingers for us.

Catalyst sixty-six is up: Create art around someone or something that you still have unfinished business with (something that’s been bothering you for a while.).
here’s my text:
Four years ago, when my son was born I had a falling out with a good friend. We haven’t spoken since. Over the years I’ve often wondered if it was worth it. The fight we had. Whether it was worth losing the friendship. I am not sure. Sometimes I think maybe it wasn’t…
This digital page uses the beautiful papers and elements from Kerry Lynn Yeary of Kenner Road.

Nahaniel is totally smiling now and David loves it. He spend a good bit of the morning talking to him and imitating him (hence his open mouth) and singing to him. He’s just the bestest. And I snapped this shot. I know it’s blurry but I love the face Aurelia is making so I’m keeping it.
Lots of good work done this morning. A few more days and the chaos will be done I think. At least one chaos. Then the other one will begin. But still….Well little boy just fell asleep and I think that’s my cue to go to bed. Even though it’s only 7:43pm. G’nite.

Last night I finally decided to give Aurelia the milk I’d been saving. If I waited a few more days, it was going to go bad. I’m going to have to pump a whole bunch this weekend as next week is hectic with lots of people in and out of our house so I won’t be able to nurse as easily. Here’s David giving milk to the baby. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Then again, he’s just the sweetest boy. Aurelia, on the other hand, wasn’t in the best mood.
I wanted to take a photo of both kids and here’s David being his sweet, accomodating self and Aurelia, not so much.
After a bunch of nursing, a nap, some burping later, he finally was in a good mood.
Not much light in this house. I can’t wait to move. On other news, Aurelia is definitely tracking now, nice to see that progress and he gives big, huge smiles throughout the day. We did a few more errands today (hard as they are with two kids) and packed a few more boxes. Here’s something I learned while I packed my minibooks: I need to use more (or stronger) adhesive. All the embellishments were falling off. Ugh.
Happy weekend!
