As summer draws to an end and begins to close its doors to make way for autumnal delights, I can't help but think back to the summer adventures I shared with my partners in crime. Summer this year my two little wonders said would always be remembered as "the summer we spent at the ocean, with sand in our toes, licking pastel coloured ice cream and swimming in the sea". "Perfect" I said, "that's just the kind of wonderful memories I hoped we'd make".
The summer holidays are always a chance to reaffirm the bond with my two, spend some quality time and talk about our dreams and hopes. This summer my son turned 10 and I realised the significance of being 10. It's a turning point, a time of change. No more single digits for one!! But also, I began to see the person he is becoming, he told me of the life he dreams for himself and my heart broke and sang all at the same time. My baby is growing up but he is happy and looking forward to his future and that's what I've hoped for this past decade.
Celebrating a decade of love with my boy. What I wouldn't give to kiss those soft baby cheeks again just for five minutes.
As the nights draw in and the sun sits a little lower in the sky, my mind drifts to the long, sunshine filled days we shared and I feel a little sad, it's always the end of a little chapter when school holidays end.......BUT ... It's when my favourite season begins......autumn!
Here are a few shots of our summer of ice cream and dreams
Jumping the waves!
Buried treasure!
And so the chapter called summer 2013 draws to a close.... Coming soon..... Autumn and all it's wonders......
Enjoy your some kind of wonderful. ❤
