28 January 2012


O HAI !


27 January 2012


Bandoo cradling a restless Lowan
While watching Bastien toss in the monitor.


26 January 2012


Kisses in the steamy
Barbacuaria of Australia Day.


25 January 2012


Ittle Owie.

24 January 2012


When Lowan thought that Papa wasn't watching...

This is what he really thinks !!



23 January 2012


Little Sumo has gained 640g in a fortnight
And though we try to stretch out the nom
Insists, at least, on being cuddled
Instead of sleeping in his cot.

But arms can be hazardous!
As we see when Tai tries to get a cuddle too...

22 January 2012


Aftermath of the Great 4:15am Standoff !

Where it took from 8 hours to get Young Gentlemen to sleep
Whilesoever 4 toddlers squeaked and moaned in the room next door
And occasionally barricaded themselves, screaming, against the shut of it.

Now, four eyes regard Mummy owlishly
And monitor her every move through the pale, quiet bedroom...


21 January 2012


Punch-drunk on bubyjuice
After the double-vertical-hold.

20 January 2012



The twins have become all goggle- eyed with wonder at the world
While sporting rapidly receding hairlines and eyebrows.



19 January 2012


Lowan on the sofa.



18 January 2012


Just another peaceful afternoon at the park...



17 January 2012


We briefly brave the skittering ants
And enthusiastically tripping, filthy-feet brothers
For a lie in the breeze.

But both boys don't really want this foray
Into meditation in nature.
All they want today is to be held,
Long and lovingly.



16 January 2012


Cousin Maia drops around for an impromptu visit
And cuddles Lowan amongst the chaos...

Later in the day, we take the pram, the 4 boys,
And walk to the park for an afternoon mosey.
Still dressed for the cooler indoors, the muggy swelter
Leaves the two littlest Ms unimpressed!



15 January 2012


Nanny, Din and Uncle Daney drop by for cuddles
Where Nanny loves to hug both boys in long snuggledy sleepiness
And leaves them smelling like roses the whole day long.


14 January 2012


The boys are waking up !
First Lowan, then Bastien
Start to get restless for cuddles
And spend more time gazing at us
Offering Miro's patented Poo-face
Or even the occasional drowsy smile!


13 January 2012


A lazy day with Nanna visiting,
Where Lowan falls asleep, one arm a wrap escapee.



12 January 2012


All cosy from their afternoon baths, cuddling into Uncle Daney
Following a rough n' ready morning
With big brothers tussling all over them.



First Showers - 11 January 2012


First showers.

Lowan was blissful.



11 January 2012


Now that Lowan is starting to demand more cuddles
Daddy makes time to offer some morning hugs
Where he may just be lucky enough to fall asleep again too.

But when Bastien joins in on the affection,
Lowan says...!



10 January 2012


The calm and quiet corner of the bedroom
Where the twins sleep, through shadowy bedlam morning
To dappled afternoon sunlight,
And then into broken black evening...


9 January 2012



Lowan loves to stre-et-tch!


8 January 2012


Lowan looks up to his big brother Miro.



7 January 2012


Beautiful baby brothers
Spend their days dreaming

And gazing at each other
In rare moments of wakefulness...



6 January 2012


Debonair gentlemen pubgoers
Each with their own leather lounge.


6 January 2012


Debonair gentlemen pubgoers
Each with their own leather lounge.


5 January 2012


Cuddles on the couch...


4 January 2012


A hot and muggy day
Sees the twins in shady garden spots, where
Tai steals kisses in the pumpkin patch...

Later that afternoon, Bastien and Lowan start to wake up !
Twenty whole minutes with eyes wide open...



3 January 2012


Hands full of little people...

And Bastien's hands full of something else again !



2 January 2012


A beautiful, relaxing day at Nanny and Din's
Where a soft breeze cools the boys from the heat of midday
And Tai and Miro shower their little heads with kisses.



1 January 2012


More of the same...
Sleeping, sleeping...
