Young Talent Time!

This is Oliver and Annie-Rose doing their best singing :-)! Fame and fortune are inevitable!

Dad Duty :-)

The kids thought it would be a brilliant idea to go to Perrin Park in the middle of the day in around 33 degree heat. They also thought it would be good to make Ben play tag with them and push them on the bike-track. Lucky he is a good dad and obliged them ;-) He has soooo much good karma in the bank, this man :-)

How to Live :-)

This is a snapshot of life on our deck! Charlotte is sitting at the table and I am in the hammock enjoying the peace and the view around me. Queenslanders are the best houses :-)

Hose Down!

Today was super hot, around 35 degrees, and I was just getting cranky with children inside being naughty etc, so I put them on the trampoline and hosed them. It was therapeutic for me, and fun for them :-)! These primary school ages are hard to beat... wish it could be like this forever!

We Can Be Heroes ;-)

Annabelle is a really physical kid, and is a total daredevil. She also likes to be the clown and have people watching her or laughing at her. This is her on the trampoline showing me her potential in the acrobatics and ballet arena. I was not sure what to think, to be honest... ;-)

Poetry in Magnets, by Annie-Rose...

This is Annie-Rose reading out the words and the poetry she made up using the peace-magnets from Aunty Louise and co in the US. We love word fridge magnets, and these are especially good as they only have good-will type words to choose from! Thanks for the pressies, Pearses! XX

Marlin and Nemo :-)

Here is some filming of Ben and his brood. Ben is, and always been such a natural as a dad. We have had our ups and downs over the years, but he has had his heart in his children's well-being and happiness since day one :-) Here he is doing daggy dad stuff with them at the pool.

Annie can swim perfectly providing her feet can touch the ground - so here she is having a fit because it is 'deep'.... sigh! We shall get there!
