We've Moved!


It's with the greatest gratitude that we've shared the past four years with you here... (and counting!)
But now, under the combined weight of thousands of photos, our website has finally buckled.

It's therefore with great pleasure that we announce...

A NEW WEBSITE !!

Please continue to follow all our adventures at 


4 Petits Garcons 



We hope to see you soon... a bientot!

The only thing Bastien loves as much as balls...






Is pretending to hide the ball!



17 February 2013


Watching Zarabella have her nappy changed
Is a very interesting experience!

16 February 2013


Realising the impossibility
Of keeping Bassy and Lowie
Neat and dry and happy
At Matai's stormy birthday picnic,
Instead, we let them loose!

(Whadya prefer? Neat and dry? Or HAPPY?!)






15 February 2013


The best game ever!
Din pushes the swinging seat around
Like a UFO on the floorboards...
Hotly contested by twins, big boys,
And even Nanny gets a ride!



14 February 2013


Chinese at Barbeque King!

The waiter loves the twins
And keeps running his hand
Over Bassy's baby hair.



13 February 2013


While Lowan is mostly scared of the helicopter,
Bastien is fascinated by it,
And can often be found curled up next to his grandpa
As they fly it in the garden.

Then, when the batteries run out, he likes to take the remote
And lay it hopefully at Din's feet, asking for more!




12 February 2013


Thrilled to be out of the pram ~
Even if only to go straight into high chairs!
Eating cheese toasties for lunch with Nanny;
Coveting the coffee foam from her cappuccino.



11 February 2013


The twins watch
The quadcopter's afternoon antics
From their usual spot
Safe, at the top of the steps.

New friends
And dreamy eyes
At Miriam's birthday picnic.

Beach time bliss at Bondi.



8 February 2013


Trying to get a passport photo
Is pretty hard work!



7 February 2013


Having a lovely time with Granny and Pop,
While eating nutella pikelets and raspberry jelly;
Riding bikes and playing with the peg basket!





6 February 2013


Optimus Prime keeping the babeesh in order!

And after, "Bassie Boots" stealing off with Lowan's ball (again!)
While Lowan displays the "downward dog protest".

A day in the life of twins...

Best of friends...
Kissy boys...
And fisticuffs!

3 February 2013


Watching Rosie Posy on the swing
On our rainy-sunny walk by the surging surf at Coogee Beach.





Afterwards, we go to the pub
And demonstrate the unique challenges of trying to feed twins their dinner,
Especially when all they want to do is kiss each other!

Bastien so loves balls...




1 January 2013


Poor little Bassie
Falls over Mummy's shoulder
And down two steps onto his brother 
Grazing his sweet little face.

Luckily, after some cuddles,
He cheers up with an impromptu concert,
Loving the drums, tamborines and the bells...




31 January 2013


Bastien loves experimenting with his frowny face
Much to Din's delight...

Here he is.
Our "curly haired frown"!



30 January 2013


Bastien has lately started carrying
A few select softies around with him.

Best loved: this pussycat
And Aunty Sloane's Milou.



29 January 2013


Practising spoonwork.



28 January 2013


The littlest M boys
Are so excited to leave their pram
And walk amongst the dinosaur bones,
The stuffed animals, and the light show exhibits.

Bastien walks around with the biggest smile on his face
And will not be picked up. He must walk!
