billo withdrawals

Last week we got to enjoy a visit from Paula & Jason, home for the week from San Francisco, it was fantastic to catch up with them in person rather than via a computer. Highlights included Paula getting to meet Atticus in person, spending lots of time with our friends and of course dinner - child free - it really took me back to the old days. Remembering when we would spend hours together on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday nights, or even our naughty-on-a-school-nights. Or at least some of us would hang out and I would fall asleep on whoever's lounge we were parked on! 

This week is a bit sad, knowing they are all the way back on the other side of the world, and being reminded how life moves on. We cant hold onto the present, but only treasure the moments as we live them. I constantly find myself wishing Atticus could talk or be toilet trained and all sorts of other little things, but have to remember that along with these milestones come other changes, so I need to cherish the way he is now. So having said all that, I hold onto the memories of the good times we've been able to share with our friends, and look forward to creating new memories over the coming days and years.

Cant wait to see you guys again!
