A late afternoon stroll to Daddy's office
In the glowing afternoon sun...


29 August 2010


Matai and Daddy catch up on the news
At a leisurely Sunday bruncheon
In the sunny courtyard at Glebe.


28 August 2010


Matai helps Daddy fix the kitchen
Until an accident (falling down!)
Forces him into early retirement!

Later, between copious yoghurt and avocado,
Matai watches the ritual kitchen shuffle
While celebrating Din's birthday BBQ.



27 August 2010


Brothers are for giggling in the bath together....


26 August 2010


The daily struggle
Of moving in the direction one wants...


25 August 2010


Nanny's arms are some of the ones he likes best
(Though nearly all are taken with gratitude!)


24 August 2010


Like an old man with his rosaries
Matai likes to count Taggies in the sun...


23 August 2010


Matai is now on cat patt !


22 August 2010


A day of coffee cuddles, chewing on a giant life-vest,
And yoga positions in the Basin.





21 August 2010


The good thing about sitting forward facing in the car
Is that Miro can hold your hand when you cry.

The bad thing about it is that
Miro holding your hand can also make you cry!


20 August 2010


Yoghurt after turkey sandwiches and carrot puree
Makes a yummy lunch dessert.


19 August 2010


In the first whisper of Spring
Matai kicks aeroplanes on the floor.


18 August 2010


Today, Goo has his first orange
Where he makes laborious love to the pulp
And cries meaningfully when it falls to his lap or the floor.

Later, he has his first carrot puree
And loves it as much as it hoped he would!



17 August 2010


Matai giggles as Mummy tries to remove
The hundreds of bits of wood from his pants
After he tumbles face-first into chipbark.

The only solution: to take them off.
They make interesting viewing!


16 August 2010


The only way to clean up in the evenings
Or any time through the day
Is to attach Matai on someone's body
Where, if you're jerky enough, he'll fall asleep...


Goo 80 Years Ago!


Matai's grandpa Francois at the same age...





15 August 2010


Getting ready to leave Bathurst,
Cleaning with Goo for the ride.


14 August 2010


A family helps each other
Holding hair and straps and anything in reach.


13 August 2010


Matai has finally understood
That eating requires an open mouth
And attacks Nanny's yoghurt like a piranha.


12 August 2010


Naughty Miro loves to tease Matai
And Matai is all too willing to be baited !
