Last week we celebrated my birthday. Our families came round for souvlakia and cake. Oh and champagne! We put our fireplace to good use for the first time too, welcoming the cold winter nights that have finally decided to make an appearance. By far the highlight of my day was the vintage Kodak Bullseye camera papa gave me. I love that guy!
I am wearing slipper booties right now, so I am officially saying bye to summer. It’s been a blast. The festivities and events, barbeques with friends, late afternoon swimming in the sea, daily excursions and weekend vacations with my little dude in tow are moments I love and live for. Looking forward to so much more in the coming years. But right now, give me cold, dreary, wrap-up-type-of weather. Apart from new warm clothes and accessories I’m dying to put Georgie in -not to mention Christmas songs I am extremely patiently waiting to listen to-, I am really stoked about using our new fireplace and spending our first Christmas in our home. Bring it on, autumn!
Monday signaled the end to our summer holidays. For three weeks, we hopped from city to village, mountains to seaside and back home again. We ate truckloads of ice cream and spent hours at the beach. Alot of fish was consumed and sandcastles were built. And knocked down. And built again. This summer was so different from our last one with Georgie. He is so much more aware now and can actually sit still for an early evening meal with us! With other people present. It’s no secret how much I value a good night sleep for my little dude so taking him to a hotel for three nights where he’s routine was bound to be thrown off the tracks, was a bit stressful. Apart from keeping us up until midnight, the first night, he was my good little boy I proudly watched swimming in the sea and throwing sand at his cousin. There was this one moment where Georgie fell asleep while sitting on the couch with me. He was wiped out. He hasn’t done that since he was a tiny tot and I could lay him down on the couch. This picture melts my heart because my little boy is not so tiny anymore.
On Saturday afternoon, Georgie and I woke up from a thoroughly-enjoyed two hour nap to find this little beauty staring up at us. Lily Rose was a gift from papa and we couldn’t be happier. Welcome to the family, Lily.
