It had been far too long since we last caught up with my beautiful friend, aka Aunty Laura. And yesterday, we made up for lost time. Chatting, playing, enjoying hours on end, in the park near her lovely home. It was a day I really needed, after a week of illness and sleepless nights. A friend I have known for so many years, who always lifts my spirits and who my boys feel so at home with. It's why we love her so much (thank you Spunky). Time passes and seasons change, but some things will forever remain the same.
Today we attended a birthday party for a special little boy. Angus' best bud Will, from preschool. Together with their other partner in crime, Charlie, they are quite the three musketeers. They had a fantastic time running amok with all the other children. While I enjoyed lots of conversation with some new Mama's. Preschool has certainly opened a whole new world of socialising, of which I like very much. A good weekend all round... and another one closer to those warmer days of Spring, hooray!
Reminds me of a saying "make new friends, but keep the old....one is silver and the others gold" xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day, its nice to have special friends to spend time with.x
ReplyDeleteSuch special photos. I'm looking forward to 3 days of a bestie staying with us. Endless chats and Playing with the kids. Like you say, thd best of friends will always lift your spirits. Have a great week x
ReplyDeleteOne of the things that I really try to develop for my kids is 'adult friendships'. Relationships they have with other adults - family or family friends or teachers and the like. I think it is very important that they know that they are liked by grown ups! What a special friend your Aunty Laura is, 'aunties' who are not related are a gift. x
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those super comfortable park play/catch ups with friends yesterday.
It is so beautiful to see your children enjoying (and being enjoyed!) by others - and vice versa.
Gorgeous snaps.
:-) xx
I'll be catching up with life-long friends when I go home, can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteYour boys are very lucky to have so many special adults in their lives.
