missing dad 365.363

Will had a work conference in NY today and tomorrow, so it was just me Ruben and Jackson. I could not get Jackson to join me for the picture, but its a tough call to say who missed him more.

my rake 365.257

so this is meant to be a picture of my rake. but a picture of a rake hanging on a wall is boring, so if you add my husband it makes it a better-looking picture. i got this rake from my brothers-in-law at our wedding, its meant to symbolize how they have accepted me into the family (one of many sibling bonding indentured servitude tasks was raking the leaves in the yard on thanksgiving). every time i look at my rake, i smile and for that daily smile i thank my "brothers"

bridal shower 365.250

these two women are getting married to very lucky men in the next year a friend from school and i thought they should have a proper shower from the ladies at the school of management. so the party was today and it was good time and i hope they enjoyed themselves as much as i did. may their weddings be stress-free and their marriages be full of joy and happiness.

awesome-est husband ever! 365.225

today i spent a lot of time in a hard backed chair, this caused my lower back to hurt like none other. i was really close to tears. to try to alleviate the pain my awesome husband tried to massage it. while i could say that my back wouldn't hurt if it weren't for him and his motility, instead i will say thanks for the back rub babe, you rock!

wedding present 365.210

my wonderful family in australia got us a great wedding present (that they got to us before the wedding, they are so with it!). this beautiful piece of aboriginal art. today, only 1 and half years later, i finally framed it, seeing how great it looks on my wall i regret every minute of not getting around to it sooner.
anyway the artist that created this wrote the following on the back (Travellers of the Dream As both man (tribes) and creatures (animals) go in search for tucka (food) and water, they travel the desert in a mirage of unrelenting passage of time and space through the Dreamtime)

grocery shopping 365.195

tonight we had to go grocery shopping. why? well i am almost out of milk and also the sale on the seltzer was ending today. we didn't leave the house until 8, but we ran into two friends at two of the three stores we visited. we noted that both these people have kids and work full-time so late evening grocery shopping is where its at. a fun little glimpse into our future. also regarding the seltzer, we bought 39 bottles, my husband thinks i am crazy, but he let me fill up a whole cart just with seltzer, because everyone knows you always lose a fight with a pregnant lady. oh also these are the bags we used to go shopping, we didn't bring a single new paper or plastic bag into the house! al gore would be proud.

dreamy 365.186

will occasionally brings me home flowers. since i got pregnant he brings me flowers after major dr/milestone type appointments. (all good news and nothing to worry about) last time was no exception. they were beautiful roses; here is one close up..

the small things 365.50

its the little things that keep me going. today i cleaned off the top of my bureau, this accomplished two tasks, a. the obvious and 2 making my husband happy, he unlike me does not appreciate the piles that are my life. the cleaning up of a pile makes his heart go all a flutter
