Birdies
Stealing babies' bread!



28 August 2012



Our last week with beloved Virginie!




...and Nanna shenanigans...



27 August 2012


Din's birthday!

And clambering over toys, Vivi and each other
In the eternal quest for standing.





26 August 2012


A wall of cushions on the floor
Is no barrier to a baby with a mission!

25 August 2012


The sweetest little alien
Loves sitting on his knees in the cubbyhouse
Watching out the window, to the grass and garden and birds.

24 August 2012


Delighting in a yummy lunch
Of soup and banana, ham-fisted into gob.



23 August 2012


Four dimensional bathtime,
Stretching every luxurious Whichway.



22 August 2012


Relaxing in the pram,
Eating scotch finger biscuits
While the big kids race their bikes
And get their fingers stuck in sand cranes.

21 August 2012


Cheeky twins
Getting into the garbage
At Evrim's house.

They love orange plastic bags so!



20 August 2012


When Papa comes home
There's time for cuddles
Just before bedtime.



19 August 2012


Clean up day!



18 August 2012


Morning tea with Nanny
And plenty of pokey tongues all round!

17 August 2012


Aunty Lis explains to Lowie
"You can't lean on Nathalie like you do to Bastien... she's not used to it!"

Later, we try to take a group picture
But it's like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos!




16 August 2012


Morning play with Miro
Before showers and after our daily cuddle in bed;
All 6 of us, with Lowie and Basie giggling and vomiting in our hair,
While Miro squeezes on bed edge,
Seeking blankets, or climbing in caves beneath our legs;
And Tai still asleep, scratching arms,
Or occasionally babies, under their jumpsuits.




15 August 2012


Sharing rice crackers with Rose,
But suspicious, all the same



14 August 2012


Being skinny and long
The boys often escape their pants...

Luckily the garden is sunny
And Lowie, as always, loves trying to catch
Mummy's fascinating camera.

Just hanging out.

12 August 2012


Mini-Miro
Delighted to inherit
His old laptop.



11 August 2012


Sillybusiness in bed
The morning after
He and Lowan
Sleep the whole night through
For the first time ever!




Later on, it's his first taste of Vegemite on toast.
A great success!



10 August 2012


Playtime
In the lounge room.

On her very special birthday.

8 August 2012


Lowie loves rice crackers!



7 August 2012


Mornings are begun by
A happy sigh and chat with twin brother,
A wail while Mummy goes to shower,
And a blissful steamy soapfest with Papa
Before podgy, apples and play.

6 August 2012


Lowan is increasingly being used as a standing post for 
Two-feet crazy Bastien!



5 August 2012


Starting off civilised on potatoes...

And finishing in a big gooey chocolatey mess!



4 August 2012


Lowan loves the jumping castle;
Wrong way up, and chewable.



3 August 2012


Now the twins are sharing a room
They always wake up at the same time...
One usually a bit grumpier than the other!

First biccie...

And being carried around by Miro!




1 August 2012


Being entertained by
Soon-to-be Big Sister Rose.



31 July 2012


The quintessential
Smile of Lowie.

The reason they sent us home from Tresillian.
