The 52 Week Project: waiting for the son

Week 10, 2012

Mr D and Miss E went adventuring down to Canberra this weekend with the scouts for some bike touring.


They love their daddy-daughter time.


I loved time with J-Man to myself.


Although, without his little playmate to occupy him, he did become quite demanding of my time. We enjoyed lots of story-time and laying train tracks for Thomas and his friends.


Saturday lunchtime I packed us a picnic and decided we'd drive out to my beach for lunch. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts of radio blaring, windows down and loud cringeworthy singing, he feel asleep on the way there.


Not one to wake my kids, I let him sleep while I soaked up some Autumn ambience and watched the surf from afar.


I played with my camera and relaxed.


It was good to have a rare opportunity to have nothing to do.


Eventually, I unbuckled his sleeping body and cradled him over to the grass. I thought this might rouse him, but instead he just nuzzled his sweet little head under my boobs, and fell into a deeper sleep.


I ate my sandwich and apple with him in my arms and loved every second of it.


The sea breeze swept my hair about, tickling my face and whistling in my ears.


I was mesmerised by the constant surging and crashing of the waves.


Lots of people were out and about enjoying the radiant, sunshiny day.


It feels good to be alive on days like that.
