The difference a year makes….

I wrote the title of this post at the end of last week and I was going to write a bit of a philosophical type post inspired by this quote that some lovely sent me:

friends

But then we had a lovely weekend away and I realised that there’s no point dwelling on things I can’t change, no matter how much I’d like to. So I decided not to write the post I was going to write and instead you have two lovely photos taken a year apart at Knowlsley Safari Park (more on that later in the week).

PicMonkey Collage

They might not look any different to you but to me they’ve changed massively in the last twelve months – they’re so much more grown up and they’re a pleasure to spend time with. They have their moments, as we all do, but I’m so proud of them and the people that they’re turning into as they grow.

Too true - I am resisting wasting my time writing that post too, They look like they've grown up loads too.

I can see great changes in the last 12 months. Your beautiful girl has grown up so much, she is definitely looking ready to go to senior school. What an interesting idea to take a photo 12 months on in the same place x

How brilliant to have the photographs at the same place - lovely to look back on and remember everything that happened over the year.

What true words. That rings very true in a number of areas in my life right now. Love the idea of taking a picture in the same place, position as 12 months ago. Great way to compare how your kids have changed over that period.

What a great post! I totally agree there is no point in dwelling when you have so many other things to be happy about in life! I think im going to steal your idea and take a photo of my little boy this summer in a place we went last year and just look at how much he has changed!

Can't believe just from reading your blog how much they've grown. You must be so proud. Glad you're having a good time and agree with what you say. Tho life's going far too fast for my liking! :)
