Sometimes, things are not as instantly satisfying as we'd like them to be. Sometimes, despite having 10 different internet tabs open at one time, telling you how to be more patient with your kids and more at ease with the state of your house, you still feel a lot on edge! Sometimes, a crispy red apple that you managed to savour for breakfast is the best part about the last 5 hours combined...
Yesterday, we visited the Lake after an early nap. What's a double whammy? Well, this would be the opposite of that. We took well rested kids to swim for an hour and everyone was smiling. Jorja even made two friends while we were there - Katherine and Sebastian. She was a little sad when Katherine went home without saying goodbye but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon out.
She sat on a hill at Home Meadow Farm later in the afternoon, with her curly light-brown locks hanging over her shoulders and deep in thought - notebook and pen in hand. She looked so grown up! I was sorry that I didn't have the camera on hand to capture such a beautiful moment. In retrospect, I'm glad that only I got to see it. I need to make sure that she spends as much time as she can being young and carefree - and not caught up in life's pressures and her own To Do list prematurely!
Ethan's getting fit now that he's toilet training - running to and from the toilet every few minutes - just to check that he still remembers how to do this thing, me thinks. Good thing too that he's getting all this athletic practice in...It's the price to pay if you want to parade in big boy hot pants all day!
No photos. No frills. No more time. No more battery power.

She's your child Ashleigh, a literary genius in the making!
