There is something so incredibly satisfying
about gaining such a collection of them
and being able to use them as a reference point
to see how we've all changed and how the children have grown.
Last year for February's photo
we went on a snowdrop walk at a nearby gardens.
We had to stop to whip out a potty
and help a newly toilet trained little boy go to the toilet while ankle deep in mud.
The beautiful girl was still very much a baby,
one who fell asleep as we were taking our photos
and kind of cut our shoot short.
This year we went snowdrop walking again,
this time at a castle a few villages across from us.
And the transformation in our family was so obvious.
Watching them stomp through the mud together in their wellies
was the evidence of how far we've come in a year,
although the little man is still wearing the same coat and wellies
(we got our money's worth there!)
We've changed so much,
and our children are growing up so fast.
And that is why I'm so glad we are taking these photos
to record our ever changing, ever growing family.
Every month the seven Me and Mine cohosts
send you around in a circle to see what each other have been up to.
This month I'm sending you to see Chloe.
I just love Chloe's photos, they are always so bright and fresh and fun,
so pop across to Sorry About The Mess and say hi.
She fell asleep - that is absolutely adorable! Lovely lovely snowdrops what a perfect backdrop! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know! It seems hard to believe that that sleepy baby was the same girl who is now such a little live wire. x
DeleteWhat a lovely photo, my hubby loves fifa too it drives me mad he gets cross and has to go to bed on a win meaning he will stay up for hours!
ReplyDeleteAhh, thanks. I often go to bed leaving my hubby to play "just one more game" and have to come and make him go to bed a few hours later! x
DeleteBeautiful photos! Love the one of them kissing and I love their coats! x x
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think that's my fave too. And their coats are fab, so fun and such good quality. x
DeleteHolly used to love playing with spoons too! You guys are such a gorgeous family. I love it when the first signs of spring start to appear!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks lovely, you guys are pretty gorgeous too it has to be said!! ;) And the spoon thing is hilarious, I love that Holly went through it too. So random!!!
DeleteThe snowdrops really are a great feature in the photo for this month (I'm so ashamed with mine!) So so so cute that Beautiful Girl fell asleep too xx
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely. We wanted a snowdrop photo last year, but a mixture of a baby who wouldn't play ball and not the best light meant we didn't get it. So glad we got one this year. x
DeleteThese are really beautiful. The snowdrops are so pretty too, we usually have some in our garden but they haven't appeared this year! x
ReplyDeleteYou get them in your garden? I'm so jealous. But what a shame they haven't appeared this year. x
Deletebeautiful background and it looks like such a magical place for children!
ReplyDeleteIt really was a magical place to visit. We went for lunch in the castle after our walk and the little man was so excited! x
DeleteThe flowers are gorgeous, what is it about bloggers and wild flowers? Last year I went on a mission to find any that I could- lavender, poppies, rape seed! I have yet to find any snow drops round our way. I love the photo of them kissing, very beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteWild flowers are my absolute fave, so beautiful. And I just love snowdrops (almost as much as bluebells) they really signal the start of spring! x
DeleteThe snowdrops are beautiful as are the photos Lucy :) Spring is coming yay! p.s love the kids jackets xx
ReplyDeleteI know!!! Snowdrops definitely mean spring is round the corner! And thanks, they are really fab jackets, we love them. x
DeleteThese photo's are so beautiful, love the one of them kissing... Looks like a lovely place :)
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely. I love the kissing one too, they are so sweet with each other. x
DeleteBeautiful photo - we really need to try and get outside to take our photo for next month!
ReplyDeleteThank-you. I'm attempting to get all of mine outdoors this year. Whether that happens will remain to be seen. ;) x
DeleteSo cute! Love seeing your two together... makes me dream about the future with Paige and Baby Boy. xx
ReplyDeleteOh, you've got so much loveliness coming your way once you have two. It's fab seeing them interact together. x
DeleteLovely photos! I love snowdrops so much. It's like it's still winter and cold but spring is soon going to appear. x
ReplyDeleteThey really do feel like the beginning of spring. I always love it when they appear. x
DeleteYou are such a gorgeous family - You look perfect together and your CHEESE face is hilarious! :) Such a great location too x
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank-you. My cheese face was especially to get the kids smiling, seems like I was the only one who fully commited to it though. x
DeleteLovely photo's :) I love the kiddies coats too xo
ReplyDeleteThank-you. The kids coats have proved to be a great purchase, they get so much wear out of them. x
DeleteBeautiful pictures! The snowdrops are lovely :) x
ReplyDeleteThank-you. I love snowdrop; such perfect little flowers. x
DeleteTotally gorgeous photos. Beautiful scene setting and love the little kiss!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful location and a fabulous photo of the four of you. I am always trying to get one of the four of us. Did you take this yourself with a timer? It's gorgeous. I love the flowers in front of you, a great touch.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much a year changes, gorgeous photos, I love the last one especially, I love that BG's Chocolate love x

ReplyDeleteLove that photo of them kissing! Snow drops are always a welcome sight as well, you just know spring is coming.
ReplyDeleteFor such a wet month there's a lot of sunnyness in this post. And you've gotta love how snowdrops just keep coming back no matter what mother nature throws at them :o)
ReplyDeleteAwww beautiful photos Lucy and i absolutely adore the one of the BB kissing his little sister! I can tell already that they are going to be the best of friends growing up! xxx
