"A portrait of Atticus, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Atticus: enjoying the offerings of a local festival with your grandparents. You saw a bigger boy with his face painted as Spiderman jumping around the jumping castle, and demanded that you also need to get your face painted. You sat there patiently during your make-over and once it was complete, you requested that you go back to the jumping castle. 

I had intended to take a lovely skype shot for this week, while we were in Bali but we didn't end up having any skype chats for fear it would make you more upset. The first week seemed to fly by for us, but at the end of it, we started to miss you more and more and the last few days of our trip seemed to drag on and on. I know you missed us every day, but the grandparents went to their best efforts to keep you busy and everyone really did a great job. I don't think we will be having any more solo adventures anytime soon. It's way more fun with you around:) x

"A portrait of Atticus, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Atticus: How befitting that the Academy Awards were on this weekend, because your Dada and I are convinced you deserve and Oscar for your dramatic performances of late. You can switch from desperate tantrums to overwhelming fits of giggles within minutes, leaving us all feeling quite amused and bewildered. These two photos were taken in a space of minutes. The top one is your "Gimme your camera!!!" face, and the bottom is the subsequent "Pretty pweeease". Love you to bits kiddo.

I am posting this super early this week, because tomorrow, we are off to Bali for a grown up holiday this time (gulp!). I have been organising and reorganising and over-the-top-organising up to my ears, and really cannot wait to get on that plane! See you all on the other side! x
