I've been looking through old photos of the kids when they were tiny. My goodness how much they have grown. The photos on the left are from 2009 and the ones on the left are from now.


I can't believe how much they have grown and quick time has gone! It's crazy isn't it?! Harry, my eldest will be a teenager next year, Charlie will be starting high school and Ellie will be in year four. Seriously HOW is that even possible?! Gosh.
Not only have they changed but my photo taking skills have improved. A LOT. Haha.

A photo of Harry in 2006, he was two years old. In less than eight weeks, he'll be twelve years old!


Here's a photo of Charlie when he was two years old. He's just turned ten years old!Wow. They grow up so fast!


And here is a photograph of Ellie, just before she turned two years old.

I miss my little's being little! They are growing so, so fast! I wish I could just freeze time, sometimes but it is also lovely watching them grow up, too. It's bittersweet.

Wow, I've been busy this week. I've been trying to organise my house a little better and eliminate junk and things we no longer use or that fits us. I am quite thankful for this and it feels SO good to get rid of stuff we no longer need. I've donated a fair bit to a local charity shop. I really don't like throwing things away but if someone else can make use of things we can no longer use then I'm all for giving it away! :)

While sorting through all my 'junk' I came across old photo albums, an old memory box, old letters from school friends and penpals dating right back 1996! I honestly didn't think I still had those but turns out, I do. I also found the cards and what not from when all three of my children were born and lots of other random things, I am SO happy I found all those things. I even found some photos of Harry from when he was a baby. I thought these had been lost in a house move, so you can imagine how happy I was to find them! I am really, really thankful and grateful for those photos.
This photo isn't the best photo quality in the world because well, it was taken eleven years ago on a normal (film) camera and it's a photo of a photo but I thought I would share.

Harry was about 8ish months old in this pic.

I'm thankful this week for my online friend that has been encourage me and helping me, giving me advice and tips to loose weight and get fit! She has really, really supported me so much. She's been doing the 30 day shred with me and I find it SO good to have support and encouragement. Also for all my blogging friends that have been leaving me supportive comments, I always find this so motivating! So thank you so much to everyone who has left me supportive comments. I also love reading all your weight loss posts, so very inspiring :) It's lovely we can all help each other.

So those are my reasons to be thankful and happy this week! What are your reasons? Let me know in the comments or link up with Thankful Thursday and #GivingThanksThursday. I'd love to read your posts/comments!

This is a photo of Ellie when she was a baby, seven years ago! Or just under seven years ago. Doesn't feel like it's been that long, it's crazy how fast they grow up isn't it?!
