can i just thank everyone for our coffee catch-up yesterday...i love you all coming over on a tuesday!
{next friday i will be zooming to the airport, with the hubster, while the kiddos are at school to pick up my sandy-toed sydney based folks for christmas...
to say the excitement is building is an understatement....!
can you imagine the after-school gorgeous chaos in our house this time next week!?}
our kiddos have been amazing since we moved them from the beaches of australia to the english countryside...
they left everything they had previously only known...to fly to the other side of the globe...
smiling & trusting & made us proud...so proud...!
they have continued to do this over the *almost 3* years that we have been here...
they never *sit & watch*...they try everything we throw at them...
their *enthusiasm* for it all is endless...
rain, snow, mountain climbing, farm visits, greek islands, french cities, european culture, english life...they embrace it all...!
so this week i am giving them a french teapot of flowers...
they spotted this *lidless-begging-to-be-a-flower-pot* teapot for me in a brocante in the french countyside over the summer...
they knew i'd love it....it cost us a whopping two euros...this made me smile broader...
& today i have filled it with well....i don't know....
*cabbages* said little Audrey....
i thought they were kinda fantastic looking...kid tempting flowers...
you know...sort of *there* & *fresh* & *lovely*...just like our kids...
what i do know is...that travelling & living *abroad* has made our kiddos the people they will always be...
broad minded...accepting of others...confident...strong...united & just incredibly great to be with...
we couldn't love them more...or be more proud of their *gusto for life*...
so these *friday cabbages*...errr *flowers* are for you my bambinos...
...sol...ella...audrey...
thanks for letting your dad & i continue to embarrass you...love you...& be proud of you
we couldn't ask for anything more...
xoxox
the collection of shells
has been gathered all over the world
by the kiddos
this is itself makes me love them
scattered on all our surfaces
even more
~~~
if you'd like to link up for a *friday flower*
that would be lovely
&
then pop over to the gorgeous
&
do the same
xx
