A Happy Memory – The Gallery

September 14, 2011 by admin 20 Comments

I thought really hard about which photograph to use this week. Recently we’ve had our 10 year anniversary, both the girls have had birthdays and Z has started school. All are big events that have triggered lots of happy memories.

I’ve been struggling a bit with 3 such small children lately, I sometimes feel like we just rush from nursery to school to friend’s houses to swimming or gymnastics without stopping to breathe. Poor little baby H gets dragged along to all those things, so I feel a bit sorry for her too.

This photo is me with Z, I look pretty rough, I think he was only a few days old, but it marked the beginning of the most amazing year. A wonderful, peaceful and calm year, nothing like the chaos we have now. Thats not to say I don’t enjoy the chaos, I do, but 5 minutes of peace would be nice every so often.

I’m not sure why Elmo is there, but he always make me smile too!

    You look a little tired – but very content. It’s a lovely photo.

    I think all the rushing around and chaos just creeps up on you and it’s easy to forget what it used to be like. I only have 1 kid & I stuggle, in awe of anyone who manages more!

      Thanks Clare, you are right it does creep up on you. I did really appreciate that first year of just being able to stare at my baby all day long 🙂

    Firstly you do not look rough at all, you look glowing and secondly it is on;t when you look back you realise how calm things were with one! When you have your first normally you don’t appreciate the time because your so anxious! Lovely Memory! x

    Another vote for you SO don’t look rough, you look so happy. Elmo has made me laugh – he looks like he has come to life and is reporting on the scene behind him. Or perhaps it’s just me who thinks that, I’ll keep taking the tablets…

    I wish I could revisit those early days of just sitting and having cuddles, they go so fast don’t they.

    You both look gorgeous. I love it when they’re so tiny and sleepy all the time. At the time I didn’t appreciate how quiet F was. But I bloody miss it now! x

    It’s hard to remember those quiet times isn’t it, I was only thinking this morning how I wished I’d cherished those moments when it was just Sam just a little bit more.
    I love that Elmo is in this picture, you can’t help but smile!
