Month: July 2014

July: a month of firsts

…a month of firsts, for us all…

Snapshot

Jumping on the old in/out bandwagon to mark the fact that these two monkeys are eight months old. So this is eight months in (days before they were born) and eight months out. What strikes me about these pictures is all the time I had for personal grooming before they were born, look at that brushed hair, my bracelets, my peaceful smile. So much promise in that photo, so much innocence. When I look at the woman in the picture with the boys I know I’m looking at someone who has changed beyond measure. Someone who is still changing. But I can also see what I have done. That is two real life babies, both of whom I have cared for, fed, loved, soothed since August. I can’t say for sure how I’ve done it. But I’ve done it. And we all appear to still be alive. So there’s that. #lifewithtwins #eightmonthsold #twinmama #twinboys #motheroftwins #twinstagram #twinsofinstagram #twins #twinmotherhood #twinmummy
Kisses from Monty....love these two.... #bestfriends #monty #godmother #twins #twinsofinstagram #twinmama #summerdays #sunshine #babies
Everyone complains about the English weather. But when it’s so changeable and majestic as this, without being dangerous, I think it can’t frankly get better. We all crowded under a garden parasol, wrapped in big scarves, clutching a glass of red wine and watched nature unleash her fury. It was so magical. So memorable. And so much bloody fun. #thunderstorm #aprilshowers #villagelife #countrylife #springshowers #thunder #lightning
“What are you going order? I tried the puréed broccoli here last night. Wasn’t impressed. I think you’ll prefer the vegetable bean stew. And how about some wine? I’ll have the blue beaker please. You?” Oh, my loves. (Twin life is so hard but it does have its moments. This was one of them). I hope they’ll still be hanging out together in the sunshine and putting the world to rights when they are very old, very happy men. #twins #twinboys #twinstagram #twinsofinstagram #brothers #felixandmonty #twinmotherhood #garden #cottagegarden #sunshine #springdays #summerafternoon #supperalfresco
It’s just Felix and I up in time to greet the dawn today. While I hate the early rising most of the time, on the odd occasion, it’s lovely to be alone with just one baby in the peace of the early morning, a hot cup of tea and the sounds of the countryside slowly coming to life again.... #dawnchorus #earlymornings #earlyriser #garden #cottagegarden #springmorning
“How can I help,” she said. “Just come. And hold my babies,” I replied. And so she did. Thank you @lisarob3009 #goodfriends #twins #twinboys #twinmama #twinmotherhood #motheroftwins #sunshine #sunnydays #thevillage #ittakesavillage #motherhood #friendinneed
