It's hard to believe that a whole month has passed since my last me and mine post, and here we were... On a wild weather day, crossing the fjord on a ferry in Norway, looking rather windswept! I love these kind of photos... The salt of the earth, realiity ones. The kind of photos we had of my family growing up. Not like today when I can take fifty shorts and find one perfect shot amongst the many, but in the style of the point and shoot era, the wait for three days to get your film developed era. Well... I'll be honest, despite the masses, there wasn't a perfect shot, because we were all being almost blown overboard and poor little Elias wasn't loving it! But this is life right now... Fun-filled and slightly crazy!

It's been a wonderful summer... So many fantastic memories and milestone moments. It's been fun and freedom and real life learning... Now we're ready to hunker down into some routine again, although I will be sad to save Dave and the girls off to school! Summers are so very precious.

Me and mine in August.
Sounds like you have had a lovely summer in Norway and lovely photos of you all on the boat. That's great news about Heidi not needing any more medication and well done to Jonas on the potty training front :-) #meandmineproject
ReplyDeleteOh I do love your Me and Mine pictures from Norway - it's such a beautiful spot and you always look so happy and relaxed, even when windswept - I'm so glad you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteThis is a proper "life as it happened" shot - and a lovely one too! I used to love Mrs Pepperpot when I was a child and you've just reminded me of the stories! #meandmineproject
ReplyDeleteOh I love these so perfect in my eyes. I remember the days getting them developed and we all either weren't looking or eyes closed hahaha we are so much luckier these days. Lovely adventures with your family this month. #meandmineproject
