MOTHERHOOD CAPTURED: june and july

It makes me so happy to see how many photos from our holiday I'm in. Not in a narcissistic way, of course! I'm just so glad to be there, part of the fun and the memories and not just behind the camera. I can't believe how many lovely family photos, with all four of us in, we got this holiday - especially after last year when we only ended up with one on my iPhone, where the girls were both crying!

I've decided to keep June and July's Motherhood Captured photos within their chapters on this blog - where they should be - but you can find them all here if you'd like to take a look.

As ever, I'm so grateful for this project. I've really got into the habit now of passing over the camera and getting myself in the frame. I know it's something I'll never regret.

OUR HOLIDAY: and finally...

Our last morning on the beach. We watched a seagull catch a crab from the sea and when it landed on the beach the girls chased the bird in the hope of saving the crab! Unfortunately, the seagull was not giving up it's breakfast that easy and kept flying away with it. It's all about the little moments; us chasing a seagull all over the beach to try and rescue a crab :)

I made a little film from iPhone videos I captured while we were away too...you can find it here.

OUR HOLIDAY: more beach times...

Even when jumpers and cuddles, and finding refuge in the tent were a must; even when we were the only ones on the beach...there was no place we'd all rather be.

OUR HOLIDAY: more...

Another sunny day, another day spent on the beach; more sandcastles to be built (and then destroyed), more sea to be paddled in and shells to be collected. More jumping off of Auntie Dora and more of Mama asking for a photo... :)
