Ahh just lovely. We have been away for a lot of out two kiddos birthdays. There birthdays are consecutive days three years apart. Being away on an adventure, on holiday for their birthdays are some of their best memories so far. Loved this post, jx
It was fun having a birthday adventure, although I missed the ritual of waking up and having presents. Perhaps being away but not travelling is the answer.
A thought.... They will read this one day. They will soak up every image and process it through the filtered lens of their lives, loves and longings... they'll know how you felt when they were two and (maybe) they'll remember a bit about it themselves. What a gift. Bigger than the sum of all it's parts because it's about them through the lens that's you. XX
congratulations on those wee ones being TWO already. . ! good job all round. love this blog...always so fresh, whimsical, beautiful, meaningful. yes. x j
I saw this on Pinterest and assumed you pinned it because it looks like you, but it wasn't you who pinned it, but this print does look an awful lot like you. Crikey that was a ramble. http://www.etsy.com/transaction/99863631
Two years old.
ReplyDeletePensive and playful.
And mental.
DeleteTwo. Captured just as it is.
ReplyDeletePerfect. Enjoy the next year. It will be magical...chaotic...hard work and adorable. xx
Thank you!
DeleteGorgeous pictures. The Uist wind obviously played havoc with Ammie's hair! Ella's hair looks lovely in bunches. They both look so grown-up!
ReplyDeleteYes, it made her look completely bonkers! And the bunches only lasted about 3 minutes.
DeleteI love the black & white photos interspersed with the colour ones, just somehow makes the presentation look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeleteOh, you made me all tearful. Thank you for such a beautiful, heartwarming comment. x
DeleteWhat you call bunches we call PIGTAILS! Piggytails! *falls on the floor from cuteness if I hadn't already from Ammie's pugnacious expression*
ReplyDeleteAh, here pigtails are two plaits, bunches are two ponytails!

ReplyDeleteThank you. And 'already' is the key word here, just how the hell did that HAPPEN?

Also where you were is stunning, hope the holiday was most wonderful.
Thank you and yes, it's so so beautiful. I must post some pictures of the actual island soon.
DeleteWell done dudes. They look like two very happy little people.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way I could take a photo in front of a ferry toilets and make it look lovely. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!
Ask Nye. I married a clever photographer man. Not clever enough to make me look not completely exhausted, but clever nonetheless.
DeleteWild curls and pigtails and elbow patches and stripes. <3
ReplyDeleteAnd your island. I want to go there so much. It's gorgeous.
Come! Visit!
