After a long and cold winter – those first few summer days really feel magical.
Blow up pool sessions , ice cream eating and a late afternoon sandpit play is about all we did today. ( no-one in our house cares much for footy).
So happy we got it all ready in time. The backyard was a mud pit until about 3 weeks ago after our kitchen extension.

Him: You’ve planted these cucumber babies from seed and have been looking after them since. Today you’ve put them in the veggie patch – all by yourself.

Her: You’ve been a little under the weather lately…teething these molars sure does not help.

“A portrait of my kids, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks and I’m trying to catch up on the portraits. ( again!)

Him: Boxes never get old when your are kid. (or a cat). You had a rough week  – gashing your eyebrow open at kinder.  I guess this is only the start of boyhood!
Her: ahem -where did my baby go ? Ready for daycare –  here we go!

“A portrait of my kids, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Him: Picking lilacs in the garden (to this day they remind me of my childhood home in Germany -the reason I’ve planted them years ago)
Her :  Your all quiet and I  find you at the back fence picking daisies.
How are there still any flowers left in my garden…haha!
