27 February 2012


Each night
The twins take it in turns
To play the troublemaker
While the other one sleeps...

Until the troublemaker gets snoozy
And the sleepy one awakens,
Bringing the troublemaking neatly full circle.


26 February 2012


Meeting Aunty Gailee for the first time...


25 February 2012


Bastien is still at the stage
Where he needs someone to hold his nounou...
But is ever so thankful for it!


24 February 2012


Chaos on the cubby house lounge
When Ollie and Nathalie come to visit!


23 February 2012


The full and final
"Don't mess with Grumps' mug" shot!

22 February 2012


Clasped to Bandoo
Under bamboo.


21 February 2012


Afternoon in the playground...
Tender love from Tai.


20 February 2012


Just look what she found in the pumpkin patch...

Bandoo is getting good at the double grip!


19 February 2012


The mixture of fear and reassurance
Instilled by a quick sidestep from Miro
And a contradictory comforting touch of his fingers.

18 February 2012


Crashed out after Tai's Know It! 2nd birthday party...
But still finding time for beautiful smiles.



17 February 2012


Little Bastien
Curled up like an escargot
In his new double wrap.
Wondering why the photos...?


16 February 2012


Baby sleepyheads
Slumbering through
Matai's second birthday
Present-openery.


15 February 2012


Milk in the park
On the twins' first outing as a family.
Uncle Daney later joins us
As Bas and Lo talk
And suck one another's hands!




14 February 2012


The boys are mostly pretty relaxed...

But sometimes they just have to let it all out!


13 February 2012


Quiet moments with Bandoo
In rare minutes of sunshine.

12 February 2012


Conversations with Lowie before bed;
Swaddled in sheepy sleepiness.


11 February 2012


Nanny changing Bastien's couche
Is not so cosy as Nanny giving him cuddles!


10 February 2012


A very dry argument with Aunty Lucy...

9 February 2012


On our Nanny shopping day
Bastien ponders:

"Do I start screaming for this nounou Now?
Or Later...?"


8 February 2012


Gran and Pierre come to visit,
Bearing beautiful gifts
And even more beautiful smiles!


7 February 2012


Day One of the twins' Arms Standoff
Where they refuse to be put down, even for a second!


6 February 2012


Nanna cuddles
In matching blue.

One half of Nanny's "Fat Boys"

4 February 2012


Still not sure about the shower...
But permitting it.



3 February 2012


The boys love looking at their black and white animal art
But increasingly, too, gaze for lingering moments
On Miro's bright paintings.

2 February 2012


Bastien has started staring intently at faces...
And if you're lucky, you'll even get a (very rare) smile!


1 February 2012


A restless afternoon
Is dramatically improved
By big bed snuggles
Sandwiched with a snoring Tai.


31 January 2012


In Bandoo's arms
Bastien likes to snuggle down like a koala
And pout with La Bouche Pointu !



30 January 2012


Brad Pitt face...
Followed by Astro-Boy arm.



29 January 2012


Milkmunch
As big brothers
Wrestle around!
