{this moment} on two continents! 22 November 2013

Each week my South African friend Vanessa and I post {this moment} on two continents! as a ritual to celebrate our friendship and the bond we share as we raise our boys "together" on opposite sides of the globe.

Two years ago we were baking a cake and waiting for these babies to be born. What a journey it has been!  This week Ruben tried his push cycle with the neighborhood kids!  My baby is getting so big!

 Almost two - on a two wheeler!

 

This was one night this week when the boys "helped" in the kitchen as I prepared dinner. They were just doing a little hammering while I cooked. (Their energy and ability never ceases to amaze me!) - United States

On the other side of the globe little Aidan celebrated his birthday with a safari trek - and an elephant sighting!!

And then with some cake and a teddy bear tea party with family and friends! - South Africa

Inspired by Soulemama - {this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo few photos - no words - some words :-) capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
