“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Saxon: He watched in awe, captivated by the beautiful Tiger in front of him.

Caelan: He pet deer, he roared at lions and he giggled at monkeys swinging from trees. The zoo was awesome.

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Saxon: The park was covered in leaves and shells, which we brought home to our Fiddle tree collection.

Caelan: Lips chafed and cheeks rosy red, he lay there soaking up as much sun he could get. These warm Winter days are slipping away.

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Saxon: We drove into the bush on a dirt track and found a lovely secluded lake, perfect for when Summer returns. For now, we sit and watch the birds swim.

Caelan: His legs and backside became drenched as he runs into the water looking for his throwing rock.

Running Into the Sunset

We climbed under a gate and ran to the top of a hill. The boys watched the sunset over our town - it was magical.

It has been a while since we done something like this: sneaking into a paddock as the last of the sun faded behind the mountains, running amongst cow poop and prickly grass. It was so much fun.

Saxon: Happy and warm.

Caelan: He loves a good morning hug.

Hello, school holidays! We're excited for slow mornings, milkshake dates and movie days.

I have been quite productive lately, when i'm not doing editing marathons i've been crocheting beanies and scarves for our visit to Melbourne next month. There is something so meditative about crocheting. It's becoming a lovely quiet time, which keeps me calm and mindful.

Happy holidays :)

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Saxon: Sand on his top lip & a shell in his mouth. These warm Winter days have been wonderful for beach play.

Caelan: We crawled under a gate and snuck into a paddock. We raced to the top of a hill and watched the sunset over the small town. (blog post to come)

This week was slow and wonderful. We didn't rush to school, we left the messy house for the warm sun and salty beach breeze, we chased the sunset and laughed til our bellies hurt.

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Saxon: A big play in the park after 5 days of incubation in our home.

Caelan: Letting mummy experiment with double exposure.

I didn't get to play with my new camera and lens as much as i would have loved to this week. I picked up a horrible spew bug paired with migraines & muscle ache, my energy levels are still low and I've spent my free time catching up on house work & the ginormous pile of washing that grew over those days.

We're off to spend the night at the boy's grandfather's house, and hopefully not spread our germs. Have a great weekend :)
