Glimpses of my Week

Friday morning I came downstairs to these two men making me breakfast.
I had a chance to capture this.  I am sure it won't be too much longer I am able to do that...
And a current favorite toy if Sam's- it's the simple things!

Wednesday night(s)


Not the best picture but Wednesday night I headed to campus with Nate while our babies slept(technically Sam was upset for part of it).  Something I think we both thought would happen often when we got married I only can recall happening a handful of times in reality.  And this was one of them.  12 students came out for our revamped NavNight.  We will try it for a few more weeks (the end of the semester) and see where it takes us...

Brothers

Isaac climbed in the chair this morning with Sam and asked for this picture(s) to be taken.  I pray they are best friends!

We made it!

Nate is home and we are both slowly recovering and starting back to our normal routine.  He had a great trip and we did manage to have some fun without him too.  Though we are all glad to be back together!  

Some pictures (not in order- some day I will figure that out...)

Sam did not want to sleep in his own bed Friday night so aunt Liz and uncle Matt kept him happy.
Liz's fiancé Andy stepped in for Nate and made me a yummy treat.

Friday night we went out to chilis to celebrate this great sister of mine!
Isaac sat at one end with his sunglasses and the ladies...
Olivia sat across from me
And Sam sat next to me-  he loves to play with a bag of wipes!  I also noticed this night that a tooth was popping through in the bottom front!!!
Friday morning we alllll managed to FaceTime with Nate.
Before that just Isaac and I got some snuggle time on the couch before everyone else woke up.
Back at grandmas Saturday morning Olivia read in the swing.
And it takes two photos to get all three kids captured.
Saturday afternoon we finally saw frozen!!!  

And then we drove home to amherst where daddy met us.  Glad that week is over!  Till next time...

While Nate is in DC- day 6!

Unfortunately the only clear pic includes a booger but that is an acurate and tame picture of my life this week.  I've tried to be patient and flexible...  Though I don't know I succeeded at either of those.  We took Olivia to school and then headed to the family center.  Pictured is Annmarie who is the "grandmother" who works there two days a week.  She is great and she loves my kids.  Thursdays parents take turns bringing lunch in so we ate and then headed home.  Isaac took a super short nap and we watched al that PBS had to offer till we headed to a new friends house  for dinner. They were so kind to have us over-  it was really fun!  2 more days....

"Hump" day

I made it through hump day without Nate!  Truthfully last night and even this morning when Sam woke up early I wasn't sure I was gonna make it.  But then Sam and Isaac went back to sleep till 7 and we all got dressed and Olivia joined us downstairs at 8...  It started getting bearable.  Drop off at school was ok except for pointing out the cute dog on the way that Olivia couldnt see.  She had trouble getting over that till she was back in her classroom.  

On the way home I decided to take the boys for a walk in the Sunny weather. I am so glad I did!  Isaac was actually really excited about the stroller and did not want me to put it away!

When we got home Isaac watched a lot if pbs till nap time..

Have I mentioned that I have fantastic neighbors?!  Anja came over and watched Sam while I picked up Olivia with Sam.   So amazing to not mess or give up isaacs nap.  And so fun to pick up Olivia. It's fun to say hi to the moms that I know:). And then she stayed for coffee and we got to chat. I am extrovert- this fed my soul.  Olivia watched pbs...

Then we made window painting, had popcorn, Sam cracked up at a balloon and we went back outside- ended up chatting and playing with another neighbor while my other neighbor made me dinner.  Can you say amazing?!!!!!  I am a blessed woman!  

All children were in bed by 7, I hit 10000 ateps on my fitbit so I read till time for bed.

Just 3 more days..
