We’ve been having a busy (and fun!) time lately, with my parents visiting us in San Francisco, so all’s been a bit quiet on the blogging front. But I have lots of moments to be grateful for over the last week or so, so wanted to take the time to reflect on them.
Moments of Gratitude is where I reflect on all of the things that have made me happy, thankful and inspired that week. I hope that I will also inspire you to do the same…
These week I have loved these moments…
• Seeing my parents for the first time in over year. Sometimes you don’t realise how much you have missed someone, until you see them again.
• Watching Little M interact with his Nanna and Pappa, who he hasn’t seen for over a year. It took him a few days to get familiar, but now it’s kisses all round!
• Being brought fresh baked cakes and bread – nearly every day over the last week!
• Watching Little M splashing in his rain boots for the first time! We don’t get that much rain here and so had never bought him boots, since I thought by the time it rained he’d have outgrown them! But he’s at a good age now for stomping in puddles, so I bought him a second hand pair and he loved stomping about – and parading around with the umbrella.
• Completing my first knitting project!
• Seeing the good in one of those annoying situations where bureaucracy seems to turn against you!
• Going to the pumpkin patch with Little M – he had a whale of a time exploring the hay bale maze and picking out our pumpkins.
• Dressing up for Halloween and seeing Little M’s face light up with the excitement of celebrating Halloween together. Photos to follow soon…
What were your moments of gratitude this week?
Oh it must be so hard not seeing your parents in so long. Glad you had a good time and Little M soon warmed to them again. Hope you are keeping well! Thanks for sharing in #HappyDaysLinky x
It’s hard, definitely and one of the reasons we are thinking of moving back to the UK eventually. It’s one thing living abroad, but California is just so far away. Though we do love it, so are enjoying being here for now and enjoying hosting visitors who make the trip out! x
