Little things adding up to big things...

 Lucas is still having a tough time with ear problems. So I'm doing my best to do something interesting everyday. Some days it works and some days it really doesn't...

Cue walk in the woods. This time we didn't have to turn back before we even got going...
I'm really lucky we live near some beautiful places to walk and explore. In fact the above scene kind of makes me think Ewoks are going to jump out on me...
(How cool would that be?)
I really made an effort not to rush them or direct the route. 
I just let it unfold. 
As I said luckily on this day it worked...

Hey does this count as a lucky four leaf clover if the clover was cheating a little with the help of a friend?


And when Daddy gets home he's always eager to play. In fact he thinks he's got the next Roger Federer on his hands. (Being half Swiss hubby loves Roger Federer a little too much. Like beyond normal bromance levels...)


And surprisingly despite my lack of athletic abilty genetic defect the boys have got some skills...
 Mostly...
 Good job Daddy...



So here's a peek into our first Mummy and Isaac date...

Isaac poses catalogue style on the park bench...

It was really warm but with a strong breeze that made the tall trees sway and creak, leading to Isaac asking over and over 'What is that noise mummy?'

It was one of those remember this moment, its special sort of times...
 Isaac sang to himself as he walked that is until he found a hill worth rolling down...


Beautiful.

Lucas gets time too. Today for example while Isaac napped we played with bubbles. And there nothing better than bubbles...

 (clearly I need to clean my camera lens. Spot the splodge)


My hubby says that from the moment you become a parent you feel guilty. Are you doing the right things? Saying the right things? Playing enough? Teaching enough? Doing enough? But the little bits help. The little things that add up to one big and beautiful thing.
