Gus - we dropped by the school that Gus will be attending next year for a play and to complete the enrolment paperwork.  He loved exploring the playground and is so excited about starting school.

Felix - letting the good times roll on a rainy Saturday morning.  I just love the Daddy adoration in this photo.

Gus - thrilled to be on the cable car up to the Botanical Gardens whilst holidaying at Daddy's hotel

Felix - returned from a visit to Nanny and Pop's house determined to ride a two-wheeler so we got out Gus' old bike, pumped up the tires and let him go for it.  He can get those peddles moving - but only just.

Gus - sword fighting with Poppy. The laughter coming from the yard was so beautiful!

Felix - what a smile as he races along the Petone foreshore before the storm arrived.

Gus - cuddles with his beautiful cousin (I did intentionally crop her out in respect of her parents' wishes). These two were snuggling all day long, it was so beautiful!

Felix - more rainy day fun! He was wet from head to toe by the end of the splashing!

Gus - found a ladybird on our walk exploring the riverbank after the floods. He was so careful when holding it and was really disappointed when it flew away.

Felix - puddles, puddles, puddles! He had so much fun and of course he ended up on his bottom in the puddles.  Check out that tongue - again!

Gus - racing around the bike track at Karori Park. Man he goes fast on that bike of his!

Felix - loved riding around Te Horo beach on his 'nake bike. Look at that gorgeous boy! I had to take the bike seat up when we got home as we realised that he's had a growth spurt since the last time he rode it.
