School transition days, first teeth and some September sunshine

Ivy's 10 month update

Little Ives, your growing! My last baby at double figures.

Ar this point you've spent more of your life in some form of a lock down than out. We've missed out on those messy play groups, baby sign language classes, mum and baby coffee dates and a whole heap more. But we've also had more un-interrupted one on one at home time than I've ever had with any of my babies before and that's pretty damn special in itself.

Goodbye Summer

Brother let me be your shelter

Here we are approaching the end of the longest hardest and strangest six months I think any of us have had to go through. 

It's been shit really hasn't it. Really really fucking shit. 

I can't think of any other ways to describe it. 

I feel like I really started off lock down with purpose. Of course it was a shock to the system for me like it was to everybody, but almost straight away I found myself sticking to the mantra of 'when are we EVER going to have this opportunity to spend so much un-infiltrated time with our children and partners again?' 

Lockdown was put in to place and the sea's became less polluted. Animals came out from hiding. and we as a nation became un affected by lifes daily distractions, the same distractions that have consumed us for as long as we can remember. Life had come to a stop. But we had each other and all we had to do was follow the rules and remain in our houses until things eased up. There was always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Then in May our lives changed forever.

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Week in pictures #46 - In which lock-down life continues

Often you will not know the value of a moment, before it becomes a memory.
