"A portrait of my children once a week, every week in 2013"


Grace:  My poor girl was struck down with a tummy bug at almost exactly the same hour as her Mama on Thursday night.  Since then, she and I have been 'in quarantine', resting in bed, sipping on chamomile tea and looking after one another.  Lethargy is still lingering today.

Sophie:  Our little one woke in such a funny mood on Wednesday morning thanks to a pesky eye tooth which is making an appearance.  She was very quiet and a tad grumpy at the breakfast table which is unlike her.

From last week's portraits,  Claire's photo of darling little Saskia was pure sweetness in my eyes.

  2. Oh no!!!!!!! Maybe we passed on our gastro germs through the interwebs? Is that possible?? Haaaaa!!! There's nothing worse than being ill yourself whilst caring for a sick child. NOT FUN!! Sorry to hear you were both unwell. Hopefully Paul and Soph are luck enough to escape the sickness too. Chris and I didn't get the kids tummy bug - which surprises me to no ends...considering how much spew I cleaned up and touched and had on me :((( Eww!
    You might find Grace picks up a few bugs this year with her first year of Kindy. Ella got sick quite a lot that first year of care...mind you, she was younger than Grace...so hopefully Grace's immune system is a little more matured.
    Rest up my love and I hope this week is fantastic for you!

    P.S. Stupid teething :) xx

  10. Oh no, you poor ladies. Hope you are fully recovered by now...That shot of Grace on the sofa makes my heart all weepy. You just want to scoop her up and cuddle her better. Sending love x
    (thanks for the mention...i love that the photo captured her adventurous spirit - it's very true to her funny little personality)

  11. Oh My Amanda...how they have both grown so much. Thank you for stopping by...yes...I have been sadly neglecting the old blog as of late...just so much happening..and so much to do. I am very time poor at the moment, but hope to get back onto the blogging train on a more regular basis. You can always find me on Instagram ; )

    Hope you and the girls feel better soon.

    Much Love,

    Anna x
