Earlier this month we went to London. It started off with photographing a wedding which morphed into a holiday, and then it went.... wrong.
So one morning when we got up and we wanted to go home and the options were either to pack or to not pack and I was supposed to be working and Nye hadn't slept for a week I said 'fuck it, let's go to the seaside. If we still want to go home when we get back, then we'll pack.' And so that's what we did.
It helped. We stayed. For a little longer at least.
We're going away again today, for a wedding and to visit my family. When we get back we're home for three weeks and then we're going to France. People ask whether you can still travel with babies and it would seem that yes, yes you can. Whether you should is a different matter altogether.
So beautiful, all of you.
ReplyDeleteUm, all I can say is that you guys are amazing and so cute it hurts.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
I love the picture of the baby with the little tuft of hair, rubbing her eyes... So... I don't know how to express this.
ReplyDeleteLike a long, cool drink of water on a hot, dusty day.
ReplyDeleteThank you. xx
Beautiful beautiful photo's.
ReplyDeleteAnd not only did you travel with twins, you travelled on public transport?! You two are my hero's.
gorgeous. you, nye, widdle, puke. all of you. just simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCara, your photos are as always beautiful. You give me hope. I am glad that going to the seaside helped you guys feel better, I believe it has healing properties.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy France. Hugs.
Aww, the pics of E & A are too darling! And yay for Brighton too... a lovely place indeed :)
ReplyDeletecrab-flavored sticks for all of you! or just sea. congratulations on your lovely people, your lovely sea.
ReplyDeleteGlory, what gorgeous photos. Full of refreshment.
ReplyDeleteOh my god....you love polaroids and peonies...me too! I love the pic of the Diana cam in your flikr. I may stalk your blog now. x
ReplyDeleteYes... holidays, travel...indeed life is all different with children - yet can we actually remember a time before they existed? I see such purpose in the eyes of your bubs... these experiences are already leaving impressions of the universe upon them. How wonderful that their journey is so full so early....
ReplyDeleteso, so gorgeous. seriously.
ReplyDeleteaww it looks like fun. i like the picture of one of your sweet little babies facing away with her shirt falling down from the pacifier. the little tuft of hair just gets me. have fun away :)
ReplyDeleteI can't remotely choose a favorite image. You and Nye are preternaturally good-looking, it seems. And your babies, as one might expect, beautiful. But I suppose I mostly am moved by the signs of personhood your little ones are showing. The chubby legs of someone who understands she's not getting out of her stroller any time soon, that sitting is different from not sitting. The eye-rubbing, the eyes-closed smile, the looks of, "You're kidding, right?"
ReplyDeleteSo I own up to the demanding bit, but at least I really appreciate what you show us:).
Thank you.
gorgeous - the photos, the girls, Brighton, everything.
ReplyDeleteVery. Awesome. Post.
ReplyDeleteI love how a trip to the seaside can cure almost anything that ails you.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, you have gorgeous children. They are adorable!
i love E&A!! i just found out that our twins will be girls too, do you have any tips for traveling with two twin bubs? i refuse to be locked up in the house with them, or to only confine my traveling to car trips. i'd love to take them downtown on the public transport, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteLove love love. E&A, the seaside, you and N. Looks like a wonderful restorative day. x
ReplyDeleteoh those baby stripes!
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to escape for a bit.
That last picture of you two is gorgeous. All the rest as well ; )
ReplyDeletethese are some of my most favorite ever of your photos, p.
ReplyDeletethis is a nice post.You look like you all enjoyed the trip to the sea. Your babies are really cute and adorable ^^
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had some fun, very unglad I didn't really get to see you.
ReplyDeleteWow - I love your photos - brilliant! And I love the fact that yes you can travel with wee ones!
ReplyDeleteThose beautiful children, they make the heart sing. Fruit not falling far from the tree etc. Hope the seaside respite did you well.

ReplyDeleteAdorable - absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteAre you for real? This looks like a moment stolen from from a movie... this perfect, soft, envolving movie that you wanna cuddle in the couch with your loved one on a sunday rainny afternoon to see it. In fact, I think I'm gonna grab some popcorns!
ReplyDeleteOh, never can get over babies with stripes. It's sweet sweet sweet!
