Lavender and Waverley

Kerri and I took the kids on a short trip the other day to some lavender fields near Alton and then for a pit stop at Waverley Abbey on the way home. The main purpose of the lavender was to get some pictures to share with my mom for her birthday, which I think we managed quite nicely. It also gave the kids a chance to run around, and gave us moms a chance to be outside with our kids somewhere that wasn't just a playground. It's the same sort of rationale that took E and I to West Green House Gardens the other week: sometimes it's just nice to be somewhere pretty.

Besides, with the unusually long bout of nice summer weather soon to be coming to a close here in England, it's worth taking as much advantage of it as is possible. Carpe diem and all that.

Climbing on ruins is a good pastime.

That curly blond halo just melts my heart.

Every mum says this, but he's the cutest kid EVAR.

I don't always pose on tables, but when I do, I refuse to sit down.

This was after many excited cries of, 'Taktah! Taktah!'

Technology fiend.

There's also a fair few shots of the day over on Instagram...you know, in case you haven't already had baby-picture-overload.
