Me and Mine {June 2015}

I'm a little late for the monthly family portrait project this time round, but better late than never.  Our photo for June was taken by a kind German tourist who was sitting on the adjacent table to ours at a lovely little courtyard restaurant in Lazise, Lake Garda.

Time seems to be passing so fast, especially since the summer has arrived. It's a bit scary, really.  I can't believe that we are more than half way through 2015 already.  Joining in with this project really makes me stop and think, and try to live in the present and grab onto the moment while my boys are so little.

In June:

 

I have:

 

*loved the long days and light evenings

*enjoyed witnessing M's excitement about his Italian holiday

*loved sampling Italian gelato
*enjoyed my holiday but found it exhausting!
*been planning for M's 4th birthday
*survived a weekend looking after the boys on my own!

 

 

Two Boy Daddy has:

 

*enjoyed his trip to Amsterdam with the lads

*planned the building of a new climbing frame for the boys

*enjoyed spending some time at home and not work
