There are some lovely, yet fairly ordinary, moments that always make me wish my camera was to hand, and last Sunday I luckily had my camera within reach when one of them happened. James was visiting for the weekend and before he left he wanted to make sure he had plenty of Lydia time… they were being silly and playing together in the way that only Daddies and their children can, and this happened:
So much joy in Lydie’s face; “Daddy is here, and we are playing together!” A few hours after this, Lydia was asleep having her nap and James drove away again, back to his Mum’s house, and back to work. BUT this time next week we will have just woken up from our first night in our new house, and we will all be living together again, for the first time this year! I am getting very excited.
One of the reasons I loved this photo so much, and this moment, was because Lydia has had so little Daddy time over the past 3 months, to see her playing so happily and joyfully with James was absolutely wonderful. Lydie is a big Daddy’s girl and it was a difficult thing to do, separating her from her favourite person in the whole world. While we’ve been staying here she has latched herself on to my Dad instead, but going by these photos I don’t think it will take long for James and his LydieLiz to regain the close relationship they had before we were “stranded in Cornwall”
And just because I can’t resist, a few more…
