While Mummy and Daddy were packing boxes
They came back to this...


15 June 2011


Playing with the birthday balloons from the party table
On a rainy wintery celebration day at Nanny and Din's.


14 June 2011


Bathing beauty in the bubbles.

When Matai is really really happy, he sometimes kind of frowns.
This is him expressing delight at his favourite breakfast in the world, porridge,
Coming at him from three bowls!


12 June 2011


Dinnertime shenanigans with Miro and Vicky
Leave Matai pretty happy!


11 June 2011


Little by little, it's becoming easier to snooze with Tai
And in the freezing afternoon, we have a family nap,
Before Mummy and Miro sneak out, leaving Daddy and Matai to slumber...


10 June 2011


Miro, A.K.A. "The Goo Whisperer",
Undaunted by Matai's continuing reliance on "Mum" for universal expression
Determined that Little Brother wanted to come in the box with him
Before quickly realising that No, Goo did not want to be in the box!

Bliss is ~
Helping Daddy with power tools
Undoing Miro's bed.


8 June 2011


Thwarted by Din's cunning tying together of the cupboard doors
Matai still manages a smile. He loves to hear No!


7 June 2011


Climber extraordinaire...
On antique tabletops, bins and boxes...
Zeroing in on microwaves and biscuits.

Matai, finger at the ready for iPad.

5 June 2011


Matai loves books
And asks us to read him one or the other
At least ten times a day.

Other times, he curls up somewhere cosy
And leafs through the pages himself.


4 June 2011


Typical park doggie-love...


3 June 2011


After fun with a chalkboard at Miro's school,
It's time for Wambie Whoppers and seagull chip frenzies!


2 June 2011


We go to Leura to see Maia,
Eating double pizzas through the afternoon,
Stamping in puddles and exploring the damp furze,
Tripping through bark and underbrush.




1 June 2011


Our helpful little man
Loves nothing better
Than sweeping, vacuuming and wiping down.


31 May 2011


Big happy family
Walking back to the car
Through the Botanical Gardens in the rain.


30 May 2011


Dinner with Kate at the Showground,
Running circles 'round the table!
