Aurelia loves looking at light. I think his eyes will stay blue, don’t you? And here’s David on his last day of school. I am excited about this summer. I want to make the most of it with my boys.
Here’s David playing music to the baby.
A few more small errands today but otherwise trying to take it easy. Aurelia was up a lot last night so I am resting but not sleeping since he won’t let me put him down. Can’t believe we’re in June already. This year is literally flying by.
I love him. There are no words to express how much I love him. Tomorrow is his last day at school and then the summer begins. Let’s see how I do with two boys at home. And here’s the little one curled up in his chair.
Another relatively good day. I ran errands like IKEA and getting insurance and signing paperwork and calling handymen etc. Aurelia is sleeping so so. He wakes up every two hours and generally takes 45mins to an hour and a half to go back to sleep. It’s enough that I feel ok during the day but not so much that I feel rested. Oh well…
Look at that! David yelled while I was in the kitchen this morning, “Look, Mommy, he’s holding my hand!” I ran in and they were looking at each other and holding hands. My boys. I love them.
And here’s one of Aurelia in the bath. Love those fists.
Good day today! I had my six-week checkup appointment and all is well. I have this weird itch all over which has been driving me crazy so I finally got an appointment so that makes me happy. Aurelia and I took a walk and then he napped while I cleaned up more. Making a dent now!
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 Aurelia 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 Aurelia 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!

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 Aurelia cranky whenever I don’t hold him.
David kisses Aurelia, trying to calm him down. Aurelia is really lucky to have him.
Good day! We watched Street Fight (excellent!) this morning and Jake held the sleeping Aurelia 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.

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 Aurelia doing tummy time.
Long day here. Aurelia 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.
