20 February 2013

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!

27 January 2013

The disco bus

While Mummy photographs Ayden

For Zarabella's wet-weather christening.

26 January 2013

On Australia Day

We visit Darling Harbour in the morning,

And spend the afternoon at the White Rabbit Gallery

Before wandering around About Life,

Looking for ingredients for Papa's granola.

Miro finds a little trolley

And he and Tai eagerly offload

The food to the cashier.

25 January 2013

Quadcopter time!

24 January 2013

In the gap between afternoon and dinner,

It's time for more flying,

And Miro gets pilot lessons!

23 January 2013

Quad-o-clock!

22 January 2013

Today Miro says "I wish I was invisible!"

I say "You can be if you camouflage!"

So we camouflage in the garden

With the cunning use of sticky tape and grass...

21 January 2013

With all the cars having miraculously

Morphed into "autobots"

There is plenty of Transformer fun

To be found in the city of bricks.

20 January 2013

Home again.

19 January 2013

Miro today has a private Kora performance by Miriam

As the rain tumbles down outside,

And improvises with his own fork-and-spoon music...

18 January 2013

Miro's "Can you do this for me...?" face.

17 January 2013

Miro's favourite lunch, from which he rarely deviates:

A cheese and avocado sandwich.

16 January 2013

Hanging out,

Just having a yarn

And a constant day-graze...

15 January 2013

Today, out of the blue,

A cocky comes to say hello

And share our breakfast!
