365 gratitude project: Days 253 - 264


Day 253 (Saturday, September 8):

we went to the moma to see some art.
the gals loved this large table and chairs.
thank goodness for something in the museum
that the kids could actually touch!
grateful for moma and art.


 Day 254 (Sunday, September 9):

meet andrew.
our new beta fish.
after schlepping the girls to six open houses,
i decided that they deserved something special.
so how about a pet?
he's pretty cool, this andrew character.
grateful for our new pal and his awesome tail.



 Day 255 (Monday, September 10):

l is still phasing into her full school schedule
so we have lots of time to cavort together.
today we noticed that we both like sparkly shoes.
cute, huh?
grateful for fancy footwear.



Day 256 (Tuesday, September 11):

september 11th and all of the memories.
lucky to have such a sweet little family.
and lucky to have more sparkly shoes.
wow, l and i do really like sparkles.
grateful for the simple things that make me smile.
also grateful for cool sidewalks that 
remind me of a miro painting.



Day 257 (Wednesday, September 12):

going through some major internal struggles,
and things are not exactly easy these days.
grateful for a quite moment with a book
and my little one nearby playing.



Day 258 (Thursday, September 13):

opening night party and tour at p's school
and we were so excited to see the building.
of course we snuck off to spend some time in her classroom
and there was her writing,
just as she had told us about earlier in the day.
grateful for school and learning
and sweet little handwriting.



 Day 259 (Friday, September 14):

love this photo!
we took a little driving tour around brooklyn
after picking b up from work.
grateful to learn about new places
and capture quiet corners while at a red light.



Day 260 (Saturday, September 15):

i love farmer's markets
and this crew loves pickles, so what could be better?
pickles on a stick!
grateful for markets and pickles on a stick.



Day 261 (Sunday, September 16):

at my parents' for rash hashanah dinner.
before dinner 
the gals decided to put on
a little pre-dinner show for everyone.
it was a silent ballet at first.
no music, no singing, no talking.
then i put on some beyonce
and they totally rocked out.
grateful for dancing and beyonce.




Day 262 (Monday, September 17):

l and p spent the night with my parents on sunday night
after our rosh hashanah dinner at their place.
after b and i had returned home to an eerily quiet apt,
the phone rang and it was little l,
at 10:45pm,
saying she wanted to come home.
sweet girl.
she ended up staying up and watching a movie
with my mom in my parents' bed
while p slept in my old room with my dad.
needless to say, everyone was tired after that night.
we had a required rest/nap time at our place,
and these two were so adorable completely passed out
next to one another.
so so so grateful for naps.



Day 263 (Tuesday, September 18):

the only photo that i took today.
p and i were waiting to pick up l from school.
i guess it is now obvious that l is lucy.
our sweet little apple.
grateful for happy times at school.


Day 264 (Wednesday, September 19):

bedtime for the ladies.
love this book.
love watching them cuddle and listen to daddy's voice.
grateful for good books
and bedtime!
