two years

I was hoping to have some lovely photos of Port Willunga from Sunday, but our two year anniversary celebrations didn't go as planned. A 31 degree day made for two flustered people with Scottish heritage (aka the husband and baby), so we decided to stay home inside with the air-con.

But Mark and I did go out on Monday night, the official date of our anniversary, for a total of 1.5 hours - without Everly! Yes, for the first time since she's been born, Mark and I were alone. We had yummy organic burritos, then stopped for coffee, before making it home just in time for Everly's next feed (my Mum was watching her at our place). It was strange at first to be out without her, like we'd forgotten something, and of course we talked about her the entire time, but it was lovely nonetheless!

Happy two years to the most amazing man I know.

Monday will be our second wedding anniversary. This is the first song we danced to as husband and wife. It still sends shivers down my spine when it begins - oh that harmonica! I sang this to my pregnant belly many times, and it's the first song to pop into my head when I am cradling Everly to sleep in my arms in our dim lit bedroom, and she's staring into me with those big, round eyes of hers.

Do you know how lovely you are

in the starlight, in the starlight of my heart?

Do you know how lovely you are 

in the moonlight, in the moonlight of my heart?

The Rachel Castle embroidery artwork I surprised Mark with on our first wedding anniversary is still sitting, carefully folded in bubble wrap, in our drawer. We will be celebrating two years later this month. I really must get around to framing it.

P.S. The lovely Emily from The Beetle Shack is having a Castle giveaway (ends this Friday). Go here to enter! Go! Now!

one year

 

I can't believe it's been one year already. I just got back from a lovely long weekend down the coast with the husband. We visited our favourite place away from home - Port Willunga, where we married one year ago - and stopped in for lunch at the Star of Greece. We spent the next two days lazing about in a cosy shack at Goolwa, walking along the beach, eating delicious fish pasties and fresh squid at Aquacaf, and indulging in afternoon naps. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could do this every day...
