This is Lucky:
And this is Lucky’s family:
Aren’t they a fabulous looking family? And just between you and me, I’m quite pleased with my shot of Lucky above…I *think* I captured a good expression although I’m not entirely sure whether he’s smiling or just panting. 
We were so ‘lucky’ with the weather - it was perfect. We were also second time lucky with the shoot - the first session having been cancelled due to an unfortunate stick in the eye incident…long story.
It was a day of rides for my boys today. We took the train into the city. Such a hoot for the boys. Once in town, we enjoyed a spot of lunch at Federation Square followed by a ride on the ferris wheel, carousel, and bungee trampolines. How much fun can two little boys have in one day - phew! They were exhausted and so was I, but very pleased with my photos from the outing.
View of Melbourne and the river from the ferris wheel.
Timmy was a wee bit nervous in the ferris wheel, especially when we were up top. But he put on a brave face.
Alex on the other hand, loved it! And I loved the light in there.
Then it was off to bounce around on the bungee trampoline. I was pretty keen to have a go myself but the cool photo opportunities from the ground won out.
I’m a firm believer that best time to do a Spring clean is in the middle of Summer. Perhaps because I finally have a bit of time to dedicate to organising my terribly disorganised house! Post-Christmas, those wonderful holiday days of no schedule, no need to rush in the mornings, not drowning in emails and phone-calls for a change…ah…bliss, and the best time to attack!
So we’ve made great use of the time. Every room in the house has been given a thorough going-over. Even the cubby house (completely trashed! what on earth the kids were doing in there I’ve no idea. And where did all that sand come from??). We’ve stripped the main bedroom and are in the process of repainting it. I’ve made a huge dent in my enormous pile of laundry, averaging four washing loads every day for the last week (wow. I didn’t realise I had so many tea-towels). We’ve re-discovered and thrown out a gazillion bits of useless junk, consigned kerbside to await the council junk collection next week. So therapeutic!
I’ve also had a lovely time going through photos of my boys, downloaded but barely looked at until now, and picking out some gems from the last little while to share. My camera has not been gathering dust though, I’ve been snapping away as usual - we had a beautiful wedding to photograph just after Christmas, and I also took some photos of a friends’ adorable one year old twins a few days ago…here they are, the little munchkins!
Peek-a-boo Timmy!
He loved these colourful balloons.
I adore this one!
Alex finished his prep year at school and loved it. I’m still getting a kick out of seeing him read books now!
Of course, there are other important little boy things to do, such as playing Uno Attack and dreaming.
