2023.08.01 - 08.22 Taipei, Taiwan
I never got around to document the summer vacation in Taiwan, 2023. Here it is! When the kids were little, we always tried to avoid visiting Taiwan in the hot humid summer. Now that they’re all in elementary school. There’s just no better time than the two-month-school-free summer.
My spring babies turned 8 & 10 this year.
I love every stage of motherhood but I have to admit that the combination of 8 & 10 years old is a remarkably wonderful time. They are at the age of enjoying the time to themselves and also be able to have fun and be creative when they play together. I especially love the moments that they tell their opinions, ask insightful questions, and share their laughter generously. Both Charles and I grew up as the only child. Seeing them bonding and growing together was new to us. Although we need to put out the fire among them from time to time, it’s nice to have siblings.
2013年貼了這一篇加蓋願景,十年後在2023年的年末真的動土囉!
回顧當初設想的模樣,如今有了新的打算;首先加蓋的睡房區域(14’x 13.25’)比原本的主臥房(18’ x 11.8’)還小了一點,而加蓋的新房間是個日照充足的地方,想著孩子們大了窩在房間的時間恐怕也加長了,所以決定把新加蓋的房間畫給了姊姊妹妹房;另外,當初的想像把餅畫大了,以為這是多大空間,現實哪裡成的了什麼衣帽間,加上這幾年練習簡化物品數量,想來也沒有必要了,於是決定一整個歸給了浴室,不過把門開在原本的主臥房,這樣加減也算是個有獨立衛浴的主臥了
