What I've been up to . . .

Practicing for the new baby at playgroup


Falling asleep in the middle of a lunch date


Getting a sore neck


Watching great sunsets after dinner


Using up every bit of daylight possible to play in the sand and surf


Starring in spectacular photographs with daddy

Munching on food whenever possible


Opening Valentine's Day mail from my grandparents

Helping Hesse with the washing

Trying to keep cool at the beach on a very hot night with Hesse, Uncle Andy and Aunt Janet

I have a very good life here in Dongara!

Hanging out with Sammy



There comes a day when . . .


. . . a boy just has to have his first haircut


This is a pre-haircut picture showing my long locks blowing in the wind.


I was a bit terrified at first.


I soon settled down with a biscuit and a good book.

Then things turned disastrous when Kirsty the hairdresser got too close to my ears.

It all turned out fine, however, and everyone thinks I am a big spunk!



Thanks mum, for finally taking me to the hairdresser. Good girl for not crying!
