The new edition of Odd Ends comes with brief descriptions.
1. His new Vans had arrived the previous day so he was very happy to pose with them on. I think this is actually my new favourite picture of my boy.
2. My sister’s dog followed us on a walk through the beautiful fields next to our house.
3. Georgie took his monstrosity of a jeep out for a ride to grandma’s house.
Alot has been cancelled or postponed since papa’s surgery but thankfully not a little Christmas gathering with good friends last night. A good laugh with a friends goes a long way.
Happy holidays to all!
One day I took a look around my parents’ house and realised there were certain pieces of furniture that I fancied. Not all are particularly old but sentimental and my kind of style nonetheless. An armchair, a stool and a cabinet have now found a home here, in my new home, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me because that stool used to belong to my grandmother and that chair came with my parents when they moved here from England.
We’ve been jamming to a winter vibe here at home – despite the weather NOT. Christmas decorations are yet to be put up but the fireplace has been lit multiple evenings, seasonal jingles and oldies have been playing all day and porridge has been on the menu. I would have posted this under In the Kitchen but it’s such a simple heartwarming food, it need not be treated as more than just that. Recently I managed to find those brilliant Ella’s Kitchen smoothies in a pouch, which I used frequently when Georgie was younger and all he could swallow was pureed foods. Such a great alternative when you’re out of fruit.
He shrugs his shoulders and walks off. I had just asked him where his shoes are and that’s all I get. Shoulders shrugging. It’s so weird watching Georgie act like a grown up, making grown up expressions and saying grown up things. It makes me laugh. I imagine him as a teenager and even though that comes with a pang of anxiety, it makes me so excited about watching him form a character all his own. My favourite part of the day is when I put him in the bathtub and let him play. He talks to himself. Questions and answers flow and he even changes the tone of his voice according to the dinosaur he has in hand. It might sound like the silliest thing but it is what makes me happy. Georgie, my darling, YOU make me so happy.
