My Week in Photos 2.6.13 – MamaMarmalade

Each weekend I post a blog of my week in 7 photos. All taken on iPhone 4.

On monday my lovely little Charlie turned 4, he’s still the world’s fussiest eater and wouldn’t even eat his cake 🙁

I ran the Bupa 10k through central London and took 5 mins of my PB. It’s not every day you get to run down the Mall or through Admiralty Arch.

We had some family photos taken at home in London. Beautiful momentos of our wonderful time living here. The amazing photographer we chose deserves a medal for her patience!

Rob and I left the kids with my parents and went on a driving holiday in Scotland.

How cool is this photo? it’s the driveway leading to Cawder Castle in Inverness. Beautiful.

As we flew back in to London from Scotland, my heart sank as I remembered we're leaving what I now consider to be home. I really don't want to move to Sydney in six short weeks time.

As we flew back in to London from Scotland, I gazed up the Thames towards London and my heart sank as I remembered that in less than 7 weeks we’re leaving what I now consider to be home. I couldn’t be more un-excited about moving to Sydney if I tried.

And it was Rob’s birthday. The fourteenth one we’ve celebrated together. We stuffed ourselves with chocolate cake in preparation for the clean and lean, sugar free diet Rob and I are going on tomorrow (I haven’t told him yet).

Thanks beautiful. I’ve given up trying to fight my feelings of grief about leaving and am just going with them now. More than 6 years of my life I’ve spent here, all my boys were born here, life as a family I only know here, so much good for me is here – I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be grieving for what I’m about to close the door on. Love that you understand me. See you tuesday xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Great photos, really lovely and will remain very special when you are back here.
If there’s any of that hippo cake left, post it to me!

Thanks, Jody. We’ve never had professional photos done before so I have barely any photos of the six of us together where anyone is actually looking (or dressed!) .. The cake was awesome but Charlie doesn’t eat cake so I ate his part … sugar overload.

I read this b/c I wanted to see if you actually took that tree lined street photo. You did! I love it. What a beautiful picture of your family, too. Can’t believe you’re going back to Sydney, but I’m assuming it’s a job move & so you must. That elephant cake is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Please share!
