Time for an adventure

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. We left our beloved house where the boys have grown up. We have the painters in to sort the last bits out before we hand it back to the renting agency. We're temporarily staying at the boys' uncle's house testing out all our camping gear and making our final preparations. The dog has had his blood tests and we await the results this week. It really is a hectic time!

Bye Floripa!

Testing the equipment!

Both boys have been great. We've had the odd moment of sadness or difficulty, but it has passed quickly with lots of reassurance and explanation.

We're ready!

Beautiful early morning walks

We are so excited to start our adventure. It's hard to focus on work/school but we're managing to get our activities done and create new ideas for our travels. The boys have travel journals to write in and collect things. We'll be posting plenty of our activities over on instagram  

Today I am sad

I’m sad

In a little over a week I have to leave the place where my family began. 

I’ve lived in this house for a little over eight years. But it’s not really the house or the time. 

It’s each piece of floor my babies crawled on. 

It’s the kitchen I paced when I was in labour! 

It’s the stairs Alexander taught Eron to climb. 

It’s their room - the happiest place on the planet. 

It’s the bed  time stories 

It’s the snuggles in the middle of the night 

It’s the excitement of a new day. 

It’s our life. 

I’m so excited for the next adventure, but ending this one hurts so deeply.
