At peace

Tandoori

When Dad was growing up in Bourke he had a pet goat called Tandoori. Mum finds that very amusing for some reason. Dad thinks we should get a miniature goat as a pet to keep the lawn down. Mum does not find that very funny. But all of this talk of goats encouraged me to draw one!

New friends

Harper has made a new friend at school named Jasmine.

Jasmine's grandparents have been doing pick-up, and had to ask Mrs Blakeney: "Jasmine says she has triple friends called "Beetroot, Harper and Lily - is that true?"

Kangaroos

Back at ready stady go, and straight into tennis!

OK, not immediately into tennis, as Harper says "Warm ups and stretches"!

Finally

Nana bought us this frangipani at the Royal Hospital for Women's fortnightly markets while the littlies were still in the neonatal intensive care unit. Due to various events (always involving David, but variously involving a soccer ball, a toy helicopter, and parts of his body) it has always been snapped at a critical growth point. This year, however, the distraction of his own perfect son has meant there has not been the same level of frolicking in our backyard, and this beautiful plant has flowered for the first time.

Now it is Penelope's backyard that is suffering ;-)

Zero gravity

A great time at Fox with the Smarts today. Beatrix, Lily and Harper all getting some good air.
