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.

Gus - building a fire in the backyard. The pleasure on both of their faces as they worked together was just priceless!

Felix - after watching how Gus wrote his name in the sand, Felix had to give it a go too.
