About 5.5 months of you here, darling Rose. You blossom more for every passing day. Here you are, “flying” in the summerhouse we rented in Tisvildeleje, as you’re working on your coordination and back strength. An important milestone to eventually crawl. We adore you sweet baby Rose, you’re seriously all smiles and serenity.
We just came back to Norra Lagnö from 2.5 weeks in Denmark. Daddy and I aim to take you there each year to make the danish culture, food, family and nature a part of your lives. We both love Denmark and you all do too. For the second year in a row we drove there. We stopped at Astrid Lindgrens värld and spent the night at a wonderful B&B, Villa Vimmerby that served the most wonderful in their charming garden. ALV was a hit, like last year. Phoenix was more excited this year though, heartwarming to see. The theatres are so amazing. P loved Pippi and Ronja the most and Willow loved Bröderna Lejonhjärta. The next day we continued to Tisvildeleje via the Helsingör ferry. Rose slept almost the whole trip, and woke for some play and milk a few times. You incredible, smiley baby! Traveling with you all is really a joy. Of course, you are often testing us, but the laughter and joy you infuse into our lives, at home and on the road, is truly life affirming. Thank you, we love you dearly little ones.
Dear, beloved children. This blog is all for you. I’ve long been meaning to organise our memories in a way that makes it easy for us and - more importantly you; Willow, Phoenix & Rose - to enjoy a trip down memory lane. You’ve grown up with me chasing you around with my camera. This is my attempt of curating these core memories for you.
Listen. I was born to this planet to be your mother. Of that I’m sure. I may have two handfuls of other passions, but my utmost purpose is to be your mother. To see you blossom from the adorable little babies you’ve all once been, to the (semi) grown up, wonderful, creative, curious, funny and lovable human beings that you are, is a blessing. Everyday I am deeply grateful that I get to be your mother. You are everything to me, and I will always, ALWAYS be here for you. Into infinity and beyond - I’m a part of you.
Love, mamma.
