So many amazing people have come into our life since you were born. Each one bringing with them their own knowledge, experiences and ideas from their journey.
Yesterday we spent the day with some new friends, swapping knowledge and ideas, sipping tea and playing with each other's children.
Such a peaceful day even with 3 adults and eight children ranging from 5 weeks to 15 years, all sharing a small space.
Though there were many moments I wanted to capture, there was one in particular that really touched my heart.
As three mamas all in differing stages of their parenting journey walked together down the street. Each mother wearing her baby, one in a sling, one in a woven wrap, and another in an ergo.
One little girl danced happily between us holding onto each of our hands. While ahead of us the fifteen year old boy walked proudly holding the hand of his four year old sister through the streets of west end.
I hope that when you are on the verge of adulthood you too will have the grace, self esteem and gentle nature of this incredible young man.
