We've Moved!


It's with the greatest gratitude that we've shared the past four years with you here... (and counting!)
But now, under the combined weight of thousands of photos, our website has finally buckled.

It's therefore with great pleasure that we announce...

A NEW WEBSITE !!

Please continue to follow all our adventures at 


4 Petits Garcons 



We hope to see you soon... a bientot!

19 February 2013


A fun morning with Aunty Joowee
Sees the twins meet more twins - Jacob and Lucas -
Only three months younger and just as lively!

But just when we thought the fun couldn't be topped,
Back at home, the boys pile into
The jeep Papa found on the footpath,
Where Lowie takes the back seat while Bassie drives...





18 February 2013



Celebrating Matai's birthday all over again
With Nanny and a sponge cake!




And later, 
A quiet moment
With Ball.



17 February 2013


Watching the swans at Manly Dam,
Followed by tired tears when it's time to go home.

16 February 2013


Realising the impossibility
Of keeping Bassy and Lowie
Neat and dry and happy
At Matai's stormy birthday picnic,
Instead, we let them loose!

(Whadya prefer? Neat and dry? Or HAPPY?!)









15 February 2013


The best game ever!
Din pushes the swinging seat around
Like a UFO on the floorboards...
Hotly contested by twins, big boys,
And even Nanny gets a ride!



14 February 2013


Lowan's first Valentine...!

Sweetly waiting outside Din's toilet door
For him to come out.



13 February 2013


This is a rare picture,
As there are usually no smiles,
But only tears and insistence that he get out
When Bastien is not bathing with him!



12 February 2013


In a state of nekkidity
After bubble bath at Nanna's
And playing wildly in the curtains!



12 February 2013


The twins watch
The quadcopter's afternoon antics
From their usual spot
Safe, at the top of the steps.

10 February 2013


Sweet little sleepy head
Tucked in out of the wind.

9 February 2013


Beach time bliss at Bondi.



8 February 2013


Babies on the loose!



7 February 2013


Having a lovely time with Granny and Pop,
While eating nutella pikelets and raspberry jelly;
Riding bikes and playing with the peg basket!




6 February 2013


Optimus Prime keeping the babeesh in order!

And after, "Bassie Boots" stealing off with Lowan's ball (again!)
While Lowan displays the "downward dog protest".




5 February 2013


Playtime under the clothesline...
Occasionally stuck in the wash basket!

4 February 2013


A day in the life of twins...

Best of friends...
Kissy boys...
And fisticuffs!

3 February 2013


Someone had a great day at the Coogee playground!







Afterwards we go to the pub
And demonstrate the unique challenges of trying to feed twins their dinner,
Especially when all they want to do is kiss each other!




2 February 2013


Rainy day ball time.



1 February 2013


For a boy who dances
To aircraft noise from the flightpath,
Drums and music is the ultimate rainy day experience!



31 January 2013


Kicking around
In the sunshiny garden...



30 January 2013


After bath,
Getting up to mischief!



29 January 2013


There comes a time
After every successful meal
When a hot bath inevitably calls...



28 January 2013



The littlest M boys
Are ravee to leave their pram
And walk around the museum,
In awe of the dinosaur bones,
The stuffed animals, and light shows.

Lowan calls everything a "dog"
And waves the Finger of God (or even two!)
Every which way in excitement!

27 January 2013


The disco bus
While Mummy photographs Ayden
For Zarabella's wet-weather christening.



26 January 2013


Getting wet!
While strangers photograph you
In the pipes at Darling Harbour
On Australia Day.



25 January 2013


Mirror, mirror on the wall...
Who is the smiliest of them all?!



Saturday, January 26, 2013

24 January 2013



Playing peek-a-boo and cracking up at each other,
Riding ponies in the garden,
And watching in wonder, the quad copter...

Best of friends.





23 January 2013


The boys will throw banana all over the floor when it's offered,
But then will find the scraps on big brothers' table
And eat the banana skins!



22 January 2013


Itty Owie has
A persistent and bewildering
Love of munching dirt.



21 January 2013


The Finger of God has made an appearance!
Lowan uses it to indicate everything...

From the food or drink he wants, to the toy he wants to play with...

And even when we pick him up from his cot after nap time,
He soberly points at Bastien to make sure we pick him up, too!
