July so far :-)


Our holidays didn't quite get off to the start that we expected them too. Our poor girly had a bit of a tumble and  we think she broke her toe.
She was off her feet for days and even still, 2 weeks later, we catch her hobbling now and again.


She is, for the most part, back to full speed though.


Miss K also lost tooth number 2!! I still can't believe that my girl wil soon have "big" teeth!
This Mama is just not ready.
Sound familiar?


a couple of years ago, Sarah and I attended a wedding in the south of England, as we were shopping in one of the gorgeous wee shops I came across this pillow.
I knew that "one day" my baby would begin losing her little pearly whites. And even though that day seemed in the distant future, I bought the little pillow and hid it in my sock drawer :-).
Tooth number one was lost in viva Espana, so the tooth pillow remained in my drawer just waiting for pearl number two to drop. I sat K on my knee and told her the whole story :-) The ttoth fairy also seemed to approve as their was a lovely shiny coin in there the next morning.

At this point I feel like I need to bust out the temperature photo again




Yep, it is not warm. The glory of a scottish summer!



So we have done some of our favourite things, built tents, walked in the rain and played lots and lots of Super mario Brother's and Mario kart. K got rea,ly good after being couch bound!



I promise I wont take awful self portraits every day, but I here I am all dressed up and ready to leave for my first day of my new job.


I survived and even enjoyed it! Roll on August when I can start my new life for reals :-)


I came home to my gorgeous family who had worked together to cook a yummy meak and set a very pretty table.


K even made soup from scratch , using her very own recipe!
It was a pleasure to come home , it always is xx

September.

In the past few days I  have been trying to get through my backlog of photos and blog posts. I happened across a photo folder named simply "September" . I had a little laugh to myself as I looked though it. It was a random mix of photos taken throughout September and it cheered me up and made me smile, so I thought I would share.



My new dresser, a gift from a dear friend, made it's way into our kitchen and into my heart.


**sigh** I have always wanted a dresser.
I Think she wants to be white, but we are getting to know each other a little better before we do anything too drastic!


My beloved Cath jug that my sweet hubby bought for me on our road trip, bnow has a home. Front and centre on the new dresser!


Our crazy girl having a snack and some down time before her very first day at Rainbows.




A touch of warmth added to our living room, courtesy of some new curtains.


A snuggly puss sneaking a cuddle with the Baw baw.





mmm my first batch of jam.


Getting to grips with packed lunches.


Our anniversary Hydranga in bloom.


A little sunshine



And  two of my favourite  people.

September seems to have been a very warm and happy month with many touches of red.
Seems perfect to me!

A whole new world.

 
Well the day came.


We have entered a whole new world of firsts, early starts, being organised and learning new things.




Aren't they adorable?




Aw my big grown up boy.



And my big school girl.





I love this photo of my babies.



The very special road we walked, together.



I am still gathering my thoughts really.
I am not sure how I feel, well that's not true I do know how I feel.
I feel so proud of her, so happy that she has settled in and is enjoying it.
I feel happy that I get to collect her at lunchtime and we still have the rest of the day.
I just wish I was used to it all already.
I am aching knowing that we will be apart from 9am until 3pm starting next Monday.
I know I'll get there.
I just need to learn to be big and brave, like my two big grown up schoolkids. xx
