 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Harrison: Glowing in the late afternoon sun! Enjoying the trip home on the ferry after our day trip to Garden Island. 

Amelie: Taking after Mummy! Your camera is very high tech, not only does it take photos but it hands out lollies too! Gotta love your imagination!

Finley: The new blinking game we play where you copy me when I blink, you pull this face each time you blink and it cracks me up!

We had fun day trip to Garden Island in Sydney harbour, making the most of the Sunday fun day cheap ferry tickets! A stunning Autumn day with fantastic views back to the city whilst on the island and especially from the top of the the old signal station.  Garden island has been the Navy's Sydney headquarters for many years and the kids enjoyed looking around the museum and all the monuments around the island.   We couldn't pull Harrison away from the periscope that was working within the museum that allowed you to see all around the island. 

We're really enjoying our Saturday morning routine with Harrison playing soccer and Matt helping coach the team.  Amelie, Finley and I cheer them on from the sidelines, thankfully most weekends in the warm morning sun!  Harrison is doing really well, taking after his Daddy as a natural striker!

The Vivid festival of lights runs for a few weeks at the end of May.  We braved the insanely crazy crowds on Saturday night to see the amazing lights being projected up onto various buildings around the city with the star attraction being the Opera house lights.  The kids also loved the interactive light features.

Finley has made progress this week with his movement around the room, still not crawling but getting so close!  Things across the mat are catching his attention and he is doing his best to get closer to them.
