It's the little things that you miss

We have been truly blessed to be able to see as much of the world as we have,  since living in Viet Nam.  In  a wave of Nostalgia I have decided to create photobooks of our adventures - Italy I did a while ago, China is done, ordered and awaiting delivering, and now I am working on Christmas 2012.

It seems such a long time ago but it was only 4 months ago - I guess life moves at such a fast pace that time becomes a bit of a blur.  Whilst looking back at photos trying to work out which ones to include I found this photo and it made me stop and think.....of the little things that you miss when your children (and in my case my husband) are not with you on a day to day basis.

Last night I went shopping with Josh for new Soccer boots (his feet are growing so fast) and for the birthday presents for the birthdays  he is going to today.  Bella, needing a break from the hours of study she has been putting in lately (of which I will say I am very proud of) came and watched a movie with me last night  (for some reason Josh was not interested in Dear John).  In reality neither of these things are overly exciting but they are moments that are precious.

To the missing half I miss you

As I look back over the photos of our holidays each memory is precious but the ones I treasure most are the ones that my family is 6.

To the here half - thanks for hanging out with mom

Christmas in Splugen, Switzerland, 2012.
