We've been visiting family this week, and apart from an exciting plane trip, there's so much to be grateful for...
- Happy airport reunions. There's nothing more gorgeous than seeing the big wide grins of two little boys who are super excited to see their Adelaide grandparents again. (Oh, and big wides smiles of the grandparents' too.)
- Movie nights with siblings. Because I never get time off at home, it was a delight to go and see Red Riding Hood with my step-sister Karen. And because her husband is a cop who does shift work, she hardly ever gets a chance to have a night off either. Double treat!
- Sleep ins. With a mother who is happy to get the kids out of bed, dressed and fed means something wonderful for me the last few mornings. Thanks Mum!
Beautiful..I can remember all of those kinds of breaks being invaluable when my kids were little! Love your list of gratefuls this week.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to know that I'm not the only one who travels all the way to Adelaide just for the free babysitting :-)
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend Kymmie

Yep, they're pretty great gratefuls!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your little boy?
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time.
I always feel like going to my mum's is like going to resort, for all those reasons. We're never too old to just check into home.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pic of your little man; Your boys are gorgeous. Happy sleeping in, What a wonderful treat!
ReplyDeleteOh happy times with your family!! So jealous of involved grandparents, mine aren't interested, in an elderly way. Oh a movie with your sister, how wonderful. Not sure i could do a scary movie, certainly not with my sister, she's a bigger scardy cat than me. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteYour wee boy looks so cute - love his little jacket! Very jealous of your resort like week - oh to have a family to help out - our kids don't have any hands on grandparents apart from my grandparents who are in their 80's. I also love airports - we flew to South Africa at Christmas with the kids and the look on my husbands family and friends faces (he'd not been back in 8 years) was priceless!
ReplyDeleteAirport greetings are always such a joy...it's the goodbyes that are hard.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sleep ins :)

Love that photo. It's sheer joy. Getting back on that plane will be a little hard!
ReplyDeletePS How do you create those perfect little hairwaves? - totally gorgeous.
Totally unrelated to your grateful post but... well, those curls are so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThat all sounds wonderful...visiting family is the best.
ReplyDeleteoh what lovely gratefuls Kymmie! Sleep ins are the best and going out with girlfriends even better!! I'm counting down the sleeps till our playdate!
ReplyDeleteps - airport reunions. oh they can be so sad, but so happy too xx

There was nothing better for me when I was little as going to the airport to pick up my english grandparents, exciting, happiness and gratefulness all rolled into one wonderful ball of warmth!

Wonderful grateful list! Oh, a sleep in sounds DIVINE.
ReplyDeleteAnd both your boys are spunks!
Great list. Love that photo - your boy is SO grogeous.
ReplyDeleteI would love a movie night and sleep ins mmm.
Airport reunions are resonating with me - soon we'll be creating a few of our own as we leave to live in Geneva.
ReplyDeleteIn fact even though I get all teary thinking about it, it's pretty incredibly brilliant to realise how lucky I am to have so many people to miss!
Oh, I love, love, love airport reunions.
ReplyDeleteBliss. Sheer bliss. Reunions and sleepins. Two of my faves. x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your little man is absolutely edible!! SO gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fabulous time enjoying simple pleasures. I'm ridiculously envious of your sleep ins. I don't even remember what they feel like!
