Brisan and His Mami all on their own for the weekend.

What a treat! As much as we miss Besa and Ben, we are having a great time on our own. I have been wanting to spend time one on one with Brisan for a long time and it finally happened at 13 months old. Ben and Besa are in Omak for a little weekend visit with the grandparents while Brisan is starting to love the extra attention that is hard to give while with both kids. I made it my mission to do nothing else but be with him. We started off with sleeping in bed together, sleeping in actually until almost 10 am.

After an hour of playing in Besa's room and making a hot mess in there we decided to eat a nice breakfast to quickly follow by a nap. He must realized i was all for him because he fell a sleep for his nap in my arms and that never happens. I was happy to let him sleep there until my arms went numb and was forced to transfer him in his own bed. Three hours later, which is by far the longest nap taken since a little baby we went on a walk with a friend and he fell asleep again for another 2 hours in the baby carrier while been walked around.

The house is so quiet though and we do miss the rest of the family. We have facetimed each-other on our fancy iPhones but i want then noise, and giggles and laughters back.

Tuesday, October 19th

























































It's been a pretty smooth couple of days. Tomorrow is Wednesday and a day off from work for me. It will be the first Wednesday in probably 5 years that i truly don't have anything marked on the calendar to do. Yay! I still have a hard time letting free time be free and that would explain why there's been a lot of bread baking, cake making, chocolate chip cookies for at home and the office, inviting new neighbors for dinner, reconnecting with old friends and eating some more.

The eating is all guilt free as we do make it to the gym about 5 days a week now. Besa loves the activities provided there for her age while i get to burn the extra calories i've injected my body. It's not Ben's favorite place to go as public workout places just turn him off but when he decides to join us we get to hit the pool as well. Besa has improved her swimming so much more in just the last couple of weeks.

She swims comfortably on her own with the little life jacket on. Brisan does not like the water as much and will turn blue in less than half an hour in it. He'd rather be held which i'm happy to do at anytime. On a very unrelated note, i just realized Obama visited Seattle today encouraging voters to draw contrast. I am looking forward for November 2nd so that negative non stop TV attack adds can be over with. To you Republican friends and all: Hell to the NO. Your R truly stands for Reverse.
