Super late on the upload - this was actually 5 weeks ago. Unfortunately, 3rd Trimester sleepiness has kicked in and I've been doing little more than sleeping and eating!
After weeks of dull grey skies and no rain it decided to poor down for a while this morning. The garden needed it and it was fit for this week's theme.
The rain was bouncing nicely off the patio. It's wet out there, very wet.
More green from me! This time, a green smoothie. We drink a lot of green juices or green smoothies in our house. Amazing the difference it makes in how I feel!

I am new to Photoshop and tried a few different composites. In the end however, I went back to Andre's dreamscape process using an image taken on the morning we spent at Shampers Bluff. Several of you will no doubt recognize the spot.
Sorry I haven't uploaded pictures in so long! I've been busy and was in New york for about a week too. Well, we found a lump on the back of Champ's neck. He'll be going to the vet soon and I'll keep you guys updated....hopefully it's nothing serious. While we're there, I'm also going to ask the vet about getting him a blood test for hypothyroidism because after seeing the symptoms for it I think there is a possibility he might have it.
Bump measures the same as if I was pregnant with a singleton at 29 weeks - no wonder I feel huge :)
Starting to feel more movements from the babies now which is lovely.
Get very tired though and have carpal tunnel in my right wrist and oedema and SPD. Fun huh? Can't wait to meet them though.

I have so much to be grateful for! I am grateful for these little wrestler’s. I am grateful that they are healthy and happy. I am grateful that we are able to provide a warm home that is filled with love and food. I am grateful that we are surrounded by a community of family and friends who offer unconditional love and support. I am grateful to have found this wonderful and talented group and project that have allowed me to grow my photography hobby and give me the opportunity to take photo’s of my family that I will be able to forever look back on and be reminded of all of the things I have to be grateful for.
Sitting with me in the garden. I think she must have been creeping through the greenery to get all that stuff on her face.
Week 129
This is a love letter to my friends, who also happen to be moms. I have never been a friend collector. Since childhood, I’ve always been more comfortable having a few close friends as opposed to being part of a big group of friends. I like solitary hobbies like reading and photography. After a long day at work, I liked to go home and work some more. My social life was comfortably sparse.
After having Olive, when I found out I wasn’t going back to work, I knew it was time to venture out and meet some other moms and find some babies to invite to Olive’s inevitable first birthday party. I had read a local blog that mentioned the South Charlotte Playgroup on meetup. I'm not sure if Olive was even a fetus at that point, but I tucked that nugget away and when Olive was about four months old, I looked up the group and attended my first events.
I can remember meeting some of my now closest friends for the first time. Some I knew right away that I would be friends with, some were harder to read and some I met later, when our kids were a bit older. We were all not ourselves: still sleep deprived, wrong-footed and second-guessing all of our decisions. It was so refreshing and empowering to meet other moms and observe other babies. Sometimes we would gather together for three or four, maybe even five hours, and it was so nice to not be stuck at home wondering what to do next during those times.
I found myself looking forward every week to those meet ups and then going to more meet ups until my whole week was filled with mornings and afternoons spent with other moms.
We’ve all read about how hard it is to make friends as an adult but I can honestly say that never in my life have I had an easier time making friends. I realize I am so, so lucky. I can’t imagine raising Olive without the friendship of other mothers. It was a rare moment that I felt alone in motherhood. There is almost always someone else going through what you are. During the first year, there was almost always someone else up in the middle of the night and willing to text and offer a little company.
On bad days, my friends are there to commiserate. When my toddler is melting down, someone is always trying to make things better. When things are going great, someone is always glad for me. Olive is loved by these women. You can see it in their genuine smiles, feel it in their concern and hear it in their interested voices. And I love their little ones, too. I sniff their new babies’ heads and kiss their toddlers as they run by. I want them to succeed and find traits that their parents might find challenging, endearing.
Reciprocal relationships are rare and I feel lucky to be part of this amazing circle of moms.
The benefits aren’t just mine; they’re Olive’s, too. She has grown up with these kids. She gets to practice friendship in a safe place. She asks to spend time with them and wonders what they’re doing when we’re not around them. She is so in love with Cait’s little sister. She always wants to hold her and check on her. She’s named her favorite baby doll at home “baby Emma.” Her friends are part of the stories she and her dad make up and even get incorporated into her songs. I’m grateful she gets to learn about friendship from such a young age and that my friends are raising children who Olive will learn so much from.
Like all friendships, there are times when we see each other often and times when our lives are so hectic that a moment together is rare. But they never feel far away. I know that as we inch closer to kindergarten and individualized interests that our play dates together will become increasingly rare. There will be a time sooner than we think that filling up an afternoon isn’t our job anymore and that we will crave days on end to spend in our home instead of feeling driven crazy by them.
I hope that when our kids want to dye their hair blue, wear inappropriately short skirts and go out on dates for the first time, we will be the group of ladies eating brunch at 11am on a Wednesday wistfully thinking about how easy it was when they were toddlers.
I love you, ladies. You have been one of the greatest, most joyful surprises of motherhood.
Only 2 weeks to go!
We went down to Hemmick while the Sun popped out for a bit and before Tracey popped too:)

Vernacular - London Fashion Week
Looking out for the latest London fashion, as I passed marks & Spencer's premises in King's Rd Chelsea on a Sunday night I see this jobbing painter worthy of the London Fashion week.
Somebody bust the glass window that evening and the repairers were in; I hope that they were being paid a premium for that day and time of the week
For the londoners at the bus stop opposite the show was free ;0)

Honoring the anniversary of a deadly shooting outside of East High School, Scarlet Strong Week started off with a community night with a resource fair, food trucks and art activities to welcome the community. Events ranging from service projects to choir performances to a student/staff basketball game are planned for each day of the week.
Before the event started, school administrators spoke with local media about steps the district has taken to address and heal from what happened.
