We had a pretty low key, together kind of a weekend. It was exactly what we all needed. Miles got to wrestle and climb over his dad, and I was able to have interesting conversations with my best friend!
Nate came home early on Friday night in order to see
Miles before he went to bed. As usual, getting Miles down after his dad walks in the door proved to be a challenge, but seeing them together is worth it.
Nate spent Saturday morning with us. We’ve grown very fond of relaxing family pajama mornings. Nate and Miles played hard so that following lunch, Miles welcomed his afternoon nap. Miles’ naptime gives Nate an easy exit to studio. While at studio, Nate made the best of his time in the woodshop – cutting and drilling the components of his wooden quilt (email Nate if you’re interested in knowing more about the premise of his project). He brought the pieces home so that he could string them together in my company. I helped Nate “sew” his wooden quilt until 2am. Surprisingly, it was pretty fun….
On Sunday, Nate gave me the best gift I’ve received in a long time – a whole day together with NO studio interruptions! He’s a fantastic husband like that! We went out to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings in Stamford, CT. My gift to Nate was a big dinner after Miles went to bed. We had garlic shrimp scampi and mussels, oven roasted potatoes, and steamed – never frozen broccoli. Not too bad….
Today (Monday), I didn’t have to work thanks to president’s day. We woke up and got back to work on Nate’s quilt. He finished it around noon.
After a nap, Miles and I drove Nate and his project into the city for class. Miles was a perfect gentleman while spending about 2 hours in the car. We went to the pet store near our apartment to unwind. Of course, we didn’t leave empty handed. Miles got 2 little fish! (the frogs are statues…)
It was a great, family weekend!! Happy Valentine’s Day ;o)
