Our holiday was full of little lovelies. You know the small stuff that just makes you wear a smile. Here are a few….
1. We got to stop and put our feet up. Just to sit……. it was nice.
2. Ben mastered riding his bike with lots of help from Daddy. Ben loves his three wheeler pedal trike and was not keen to move onto a bigger bike. The paths at the beach are just begging for bike riding. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face when I saw him go. WAY TO GO BEN!!
3. I finally started stitching again. I haven’t really done any since Ben was born. I did think I would give this to a friend for her birthday. Mmmmm it might take a little bit longer than I thought. Might have to reconsider that idea.
4. Andrew’s brother and his lovely family came to stay for the weekend. Ben was excited as he loves his cousins but thinks his cousin Tom is SUPER!! We went out to dinner one night and there was some entertainment for the kids – a balloon man. But he was something a little special. The kids loved it (and so did the big boys – notice the two Dads!!).
5. We also took a little visit to the Apple Store. Oh how we love the Apple Store. This lovely Mac Book Air just insisted on coming home with us!
Ohhh!
Eeeeee!!
Oooowww!!!
6. The beach through the eyes of a four year old – my favorite LOVELY!
Tomorrow I will share with you a special family visit to the beach.
Linking up with Paisley Jade – Things I am Loving xo and Heather – Life Made Lovely Monday
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A LOVELY BEACH TO FACINATE LITTLE ONES OR FOR THAT MATTER EVEN THE BIGGER ONES. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT A BEACH AND THE OCEAN THAT CAN’T BE DEFINED OTHER THAN FACINATION AND WHAT MIGHT ROLL IN ON THAT VERY NEXT WAVE. HOPE YOU ENJOY THAT BOOK BELINDA. THIS RESPONSE IS FOR JA AND GM-L
What a lovely little getaway!
There’s something special about spending time with cousins. Time stands still for a while I guess. Most of my childhood memories are of spending time with cousins blowing birthday candles and playing ‘Hide & go Seek’, I think we called it ‘123 home’ more ‘grown up’. I think it will be Light Sabres that will remain in our children’s memories for years to come.
Thanks Auncle Andrew & Aunty B (Uncle Al for making holidays affordable 🙂
Wow – such a great list of loving! That stitching looks sooo cool – can’t wait to see it finished!
Sounds like a great summer was had by all! Love the stitching though looks like a very ambitious project!! Also, macbook air rocks!
The stitching that you are working on is lovely! I too find that often the small stuff makes for the best holidays! 🙂
so glad you had fun! And your stitching is adorable!
Waaaaaaaaaait a minute, that’s your living room?!?! What a view! My, you are blessed! My family lives near the beach, too…but not THAT near. What a lovely lovely view!
We have several light-sabers, as well. I have to hide them from time to time because the kids get waaaay into their playing and end up hurting each other!
Did you do that stitching? How beautiful!
We wish it was “our” living room. Check out the real holiday home here.
