For five days every year the three eldest kids’ ages run consecutively. This year they are seven, eight and nine.

I tried to take a Christmas morning photo of all of the kids, but Eli doesn’t do photos and Lilly doesn’t do standing still. We didn’t start opening gifts this year until quite late as Lani and Eli didn’t wake up. We had gone to our church’s family service the night before, then had a [...]

Mum and Dad’s backyard is a wonderland of nooks and crannies of hidden corners and jungle like growth. Adventure beckons blossoming imaginations in the rubble of old building projects, the fractured remnants of structures long ago moved, altered or torn down.  Even in the ordinary plod along days the kids adore going there but Easter [...]

Every year for five days I have three consecutive numbers. This year for the short bit of time between Lillian and Alanah’s birthday I have a Six year old a Seven year old and an Eight year old. We always take a photo of them which they love looking back on but is always a [...]

Eli has become very interested in creating artworks recently. I think his style is Surrealism mixed with a dash of Fauvism with a little bit of kitsch thrown in for good measure. I am forever being dragged into the backyard to admire a collection of house hold odds and bods stacked on top of each [...]
