A beautiful brotherly moment captured
Between Miro and Ittie Owie.



19 February 2013


On a late evening jaunt with Papa
The boys play with sticks
And fly the quadcopter
Till sunset.



18 February 2013


Miro is increasingly
Drawn into magical worlds
Where he spend hours
Making things with stickytape and paper,
Creating fervent scenes,
And occasionally reporting in
To tell us how to make sushi
Or what is in bones...



17 February 2013


A sweet little moment
Where Miro touches Lowan's head with tenderness
While watching the black swans at Manly Dam.



Miro's First Stories...

Miro has started telling us stories
And we write down what he says,
Then he illustrates them.

Here are his first and second tales...








16 February 2013


Miro accepts the waterpistol challenge
Of Matai's birthday washout
With avid, dedicated, gleeful enthusiasm
To wet everyone in squirt distance.



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


This morning Miro creates the most amazing crafty tunnel system
For he and Matai to race their cars through...





By evening time, all his little brothers asleep,
He shares Mummy and Papa's Valentines Day dinner in the garden,
Then we all watch Paula and Steve on TV.
Miro keeps asking "Am I going to be on television?"
Before falling into heavy snores before the show is through.




13 February 2013


More variations of flight.



12 February 2013


After preschool, playing with planes
That burst forth from great kraken
At the tippy top of Nanna's new city apartment.



11 February 2013


The new quadcopter has arrived!



10 February 2013



Laughing fun is
Collecting pinecones and
Chasing windy bubbles
At Miriam's birthday party.



9 February 2013


Beach time bliss at Bondi.



8 February 2013


Miro amazes us with the craft he's started to make,
Coming home from preschool with a great big telescope he invented,
And making monsters and elephants out of paper for Matai.



7 February 2013


Nutella pikelets,
Pop's reconstructed bokes,
Macrami peg-baskets...

Just another fun day visiting Granny and Pop!




6 February 2013


A great big Bumblebee
In our backyard.



5 February 2013


Today Miro comes home with a beautiful drawing from preschool~
With the most wonderful curly ears!

After, when Papa comes home,
He brings some letter worksheets for the boys to practice their M.




4 February 2013


Today Miro comes home from preschool
To a big pile of Reading Eggs!



3 February 2013


In April Fools weather,
We brave a sleety Sunday
Only to be rewarded with brilliant sunshine!

With Archie, Rose and Ted,
We play in the playground by the sea
And Miro and Tai run and ride scooters
Beside the crashing cliffs.

Afterwards we're rewarded with a leisurely dinner at the pub,
Complete with Brazilian drummers and samba girls,
Plucked leaf pirate swords and chippies.
Miro plays silly buggers!







2 February 2013


Still too wet to go outside,
Miro, Uncle Daney and the twins
Have an invigorating game of catch, throw and kick
With multiple soccer-sized balls!



1 February 2013


The coolest place to be in our house...
Din's Place's room.



31 January 2013


Miro devises a clever way
To let himself in and out
Of the Big-Boys-Only Space.



30 January 2013


Miro's first day back at Three Day Lillypilly.

He is so excited!



29 January 2013


Quads are for sissies!



28 January 2013


The rainiest day
Makes us feel like a trip to the musee,
Though we are drenched right through
By the time we get from our car to the entrance!




Later we are passionate about the dinosaurs...

And even later, separating caterpillar eggs from poo with tweezers!
