just what the doctor ordered

Tuesday 21 May 2013



this really is just what the doctor ordered. family time.

there is no time for grief with a little one about, and i'm thankful for that. that's not to say i'm not grieving, but having caleb's needs at the forefront has brought about a beautiful side-effect. everytime i feel as though i may just burst into tears right there on the spot, i replace those thoughts with a happy memory of my nana. you know what? it's working. it has me thinking of things that i've not thought about in years. it makes me happy. happy for those memories.

we've laughed so much these past few days which at times feels odd, but i know my nana would be happy about this.

caleb has been cracking us up with his oh so serious face at the zoo's play park. i mean have you seen that boy's face coming down the slide?? eh and lets not talk about mine ;)

oh and we're also learning to have eyes in the back of our heads. take your eye of him for a second and he's off. picnickers beware, if you leave your sandwich unattended...hell if you've got your sandwich in your hand just not in your mouth yet, you better watch out for caleb!

caleb, my boy. you are the best distraction a girl could ask for.

*thank you so much for all the lovely and thoughtful comments on sunday's post. the support we have received is so appreciated. this little blogging world is something else and so are you :)

    I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. My grandfather passed away just as we were finding out about Bea in 2010. My grandmother told me that she told my grandfather that I was going to have a baby and through his very confused alzheimers mind he gave the biggest smile she had seen in months. That memory gives me peace. I am sure you have so many great memories too. <3
