19 January 2012


Lowan on the sofa...
And Bastien being adored by Tai.



18 January 2012


Just another peaceful afternoon at the park...



17 January 2012


We briefly brave the skittering ants
And enthusiastically tripping, filthy-feet brothers
For a lie in the breeze.

But both boys don't really want this foray
Into meditation in nature.
All they want today is to be held,
Long and lovingly.



16 January 2012


Cousin Maia drops around for an impromptu visit
And cuddles Lowan amongst the chaos...

Later in the day, we take the pram, the 4 boys,
And walk to the park for an afternoon mosey.
Still dressed for the cooler indoors, the muggy swelter
Leaves the two littlest Ms unimpressed!



15 January 2012


Nanny, Din and Uncle Daney drop by for cuddles
Where Nanny loves to hug both boys in long snuggledy sleepiness
And leaves them smelling like roses the whole day long.

14 January 2012


The boys are waking up !
First Lowan, then Bastien
Start to get restless for cuddles
And spend more time gazing at us
Offering Miro's patented Poo-face
Or even the occasional drowsy smile!

13 January 2012


A lazy day with Nanna visiting,
Where Lowan falls asleep, one arm a wrap escapee,
And Bastien sets his sights on distant horizons.

12 January 2012


All cosy from their afternoon baths, cuddling into Uncle Daney
Following a rough n' ready morning
With big brothers tussling all over them.



First Showers - 11 January 2012


First showers.

Bastien wasn't quite sure...
Lowan was blissful.




11 January 2012


Now that Lowan is starting to demand more cuddles
Daddy makes time to offer some morning hugs
Where he may just be lucky enough to fall asleep again too.

But when Bastien joins in on the affection,
Lowan says...!



10 January 2012


The calm and quiet corner of the bedroom
Where the twins sleep, through shadowy bedlam morning
To dappled afternoon sunlight,
And then into broken black evening...

9 January 2012


Bastien examines a delicious looking set of toes
Which he then proceeds to munch...

And Lowan loves to stre-et-tch!



8 January 2012


Lowan looks up to his big brother Miro
While Bastien lingers in Bandoo calins...



7 January 2012


Beautiful baby brothers
Spend their days dreaming

And gazing at each other
In rare moments of wakefulness...



6 January 2012


Debonair gentlemen pubgoers
Each with their own leather lounge.


5 January 2012


Cuddles on the couch...


4 January 2012


A hot and muggy day
Sees the twins in shady garden spots, where
Tai steals kisses in the pumpkin patch...

Later that afternoon, Bastien and Lowan start to wake up !
Twenty whole minutes with eyes wide open...

3 January 2012


Hands full of little people...

And Bastien's hands full of something else again !

2 January 2011


A beautiful, relaxing day at Nanny and Din's
Where a soft breeze cools the boys from the heat of midday
And Tai and Miro shower their little heads with kisses.



1 January 2012


More of the same...
Sleeping, sleeping...


31 December 2011


Lovebirds on the video monitor
As we while away 2011 in the garden
And the twins slumber through baby disco and fireworks.

30 December 2011


Today Miro wanders around the house
Distributing stickers to the family.

Later, when we go in to check on the twins
We can't stop smiling when we see what he has done.


29 December 2011


The twins' first outing
As we take a sunny stroll
To the Hunters Hill Bowling Club.
All 7 of us !



28 December 2011


What we found in the Cabbage Patch...

27 December 2011


Today Bastien loses his umbilical cord
But Lowan keeps his for another day.


26 December 2011


Meeting Aunty Julia and Uncle Matt for the first time
Over delicious home-made brownies.

25 December 2011


Christmas morning
Cuddles with Nanny and Aunty Rebecca
While Din worries about the air conditioning,
Moredin and Papa eat chilli and French cheese,
And Miro and Tai are chased through the house by tigers and lions...



Later on ~
All dressed up and nowhere to go.

24 December 2011


The second twin with the second twin,
Din tout fièr with his littlest grandson,
And two generations of double trouble !

Later, dreaming of a White Christmas
Bastien and Lowan link hands while drinking
And dream of milk and lambies.
