Our niece Feather lives in a town that is 793 Km’s away from us, so we don’t get to see her very often. When we do get to see her, Ava and Anouk soak up every experience they can with her. They play with her, hold her hands, dance with her, feed her breakfast etc....
The four of us spent the week sharing a room at my brothers place in a country town near Byron Bay. The matress the girls slept on was right beside our bed, yet by morning one or both of them would still have climbed into bed with us. I never get sick of this sight. One of...
Road trip started at 4pm and we arrived at our destination close to midnight. The room we were staying in overnight had a bunk bed for the kids and they were extremely happy about that because apparently bunks are cool.

I was proud of these girls today. They completed a 3 hour moderate to difficult trail through the bush without complaining about being tired once. They walked, they climbed and they investigated. At one point Anouk told me she had seen the place where we were in a dream. With just half an hour of the trek to...
Her and I took a long walk before dinner. We held hands & she talked about dolphins most of the way. We sat for a little while & I wondered if she has any idea that when I look at her I see pure sunshine.
Bike riding is one of Ava’s favourite things to do. On some special mornings she likes to wake up before sunrise & go for a 7k ride with her dad before school. Anouk hasn’t quite found her love for bike riding yet. She gets stuck on things because of her training wheels. Today we were...
They resolve most of their conflicts with paper, scissors, rock. Who gets the biggest piece? … Who gets the first turn? … Paper, Scissors, Rock, decides.
