getting it right.


As I was on my way out of the office today, I found a sweet surprise waiting for me in my letter box: a postcard from Tallinn sent by Mr. Franglais who traveled to Estonia for work earlier this week. The drawings put such a big smile on my face as it pretty much sums up our family life at the moment. Although these past 48 hrs, L. has not been the happy bundle of joy from this picture. He was extremely sick yesterday and we ended up spending all afternoon at the hospital. It was so stressful to see him suffer and not be able to help him in any way. Today our little man seemed a bit better so we are hoping he will recover over the weekend. These moments make you put everything back into perspective and realise how trivial everything is in comparison to his well-being. All I care about right now is seeing that smile again.

    Such beautiful smiles. Both of you!

    Don't you just wish you could take on their pain when they are sick.

    Oh my goodness I'm sorry to hear how ill L's been - how terribly, horribly stressful. You just ache for their health and happiness don't you. Sending out healthy recovery thoughts to little L from Sydney! Kellie xx

    Love your blog, hope your Little L feels much better soon. Well done on the party! Pics are great! I wish we could have my Little M's all over again (although maybe with less of the work & more of the eating & playing!) : )

    I'm sorry to hear your bubba is not feeling well but what a beautiful postcard from your husband (me and mine are not artists so I am mightily jealous).

    Such an adorable photo of you two! I'm so sorry to hear he was so ill. Spending the afternoon in the hospital sounds like the worst time. I understand how heartbreaking it is to not be able to help them. My niece was hospitalized when she was 2 and it was the saddest experience!

    Hope things are better!

    Oh no, isn't it hard when they are sick. And hospital can be so stressful. I am not good in hospitals even as a visitor. Big hugs and well wishes to Big Lil L and mama.
