Something You Did
Watching two four year olds enthusiastically play together. These boys don’t get to hang out together as much these days. But when they do, they LOVE it. At the moment EVERYTHING has to be better,...

Pair of Howies (Obviously I didn’t put much thought into today’s photo. So this will do.) The boy and me. We’ve spent a fair bit of time together this last week and a bit. And we are still smiling. Two...
View ArticleEaster Show
Last night I got a phonecall from a friend’s mum from church. She had two Easter Show tickets that she couldn’t use, and seeing my face in the church directory, she thought we might like them. How very...
View ArticlePreschool Part 2
Part 1. Today we did something we never really thought we would do. We went to look at a preschool. And we have enrolled Oscar. How? What? Why? These last few weeks, perhaps months, preschool has been...

Sunshine. We had to get out of the house and take advantage. Destination: Berowra Waters. Route: Extra long cut, as we forgot that Berowra Waters Road is currently closed on weekdays. So we went to...
View ArticleOdd man out
Before Osc’s bedtime last night we had a family moment with photo booth. Afterwards, it was noted that Howie missed the memo. For many of the poses. He was confused by how Oscar and I could pull the...
View ArticleBiker
For a few days now, Howie has been working on converting Oscar’s birthday bike from balance to pedalled. There were a few issues, as with anything we try to do with anything these days, and a lot of...

Last night, Oscar was very excited that today was his first day of preschool. This morning he said “I don’t want the sun to be up. I don’t want to go to preschool”. Expected. But we were out the door...
View ArticleMore Cousin Lovin’
It was last September that these three were together. And it was just as lovely for them to be back together today. Unless you’re Daniel perhaps. What more can you expect when you’re the littlest...

Mother’s Day gave obvious opportunity for a multi-generational photo. So we took it. Grayma with her two daughters, two granddaughters and two great grandsons. Pretty special.
View ArticleDaniel’s First Sheraton Lunch
And he ate not a thing from the abundance of delicacies available. What self control. He was rather entertained regardless (and he didn’t starve, he brought his own food – very thrifty of him). Totally...
View ArticlePart of the team
Oscar was very excited about some mail we received today (although I was probably more excited than him, of course) … “Now I’m in the GreenEDGE team!” he said. Yes, we are indoctrinating him into the...

Happy 60th birthday to my Dad. Looking good for 60! Oscar is staying with him and Nana for the night, so he was an extra special “gift” for Poppy to enjoy from 8am this morning. From all reports he has...
View ArticleOscar Rocks
Pretty fun when the creator of #OGErocks likes your photo. And the team itself! When Oscar’s jersey arrived, he was very excited to then be “in the GreenEDGE team”. One of this favourite “games” at the...
View ArticleHot Shot
Oscar had his first Hot Shots tennis lesson today. No more preschool tennis for him! At the end of last term, his coach said he wanted Oscar to move up to the older class. With 5-11 year olds. That...
View ArticleNice Rack
Unsurprisingly, watching people ride their bikes for many hours a day over three weeks made me want to like my bike. I have a love hate relationship with my bike. I really want to love it… but I hate...
View ArticleBicentennial Bicycles
We took our bikes back to Bicentennial Park for some more riding. Oscar every bit the cyclist. All three of us rode and rode. There were more towers to climb. And more of the park to explore. Including...
View ArticleBelated ‘Dale
I’d been meaning to blog about our time in Armidale while we were there. But that didn’t happen. And then a few days passed by. And now a month has. I don’t recall having been in Armidale in the middle...
