While he sleeps...

Tamsyn and I get busy.  In one way or another...

• We have a lovely sheltered deck area in our backyard that is roofed with tinted laserlite, which is a must in our part of the world what with its depleted ozone layer right above us.  So today seemed like a good day for a paddle.  Tamsyn loves the water, which isn't really surprising considering both her parents are water mad and reminded me of myself when I was young, you know, staying in the water until you start shivering...... 

• I've been feeling the need to knit socks for myself lately, despite being on the first sleeve of another Tiny Tea Leaves for Tamsyn.  I try to be a monogamous knitter but I think it's just not natural in some ways, although more than two is stretching myself too much.  I've had this sock yarn for a while and it kept calling me every time I walked past it, so I gave in and dug out the double pointed needles.  This is the first sock, so here's hoping I won't end up suffering from 'second sock syndrome' (like I have in the past).

• And what of Angus?  Well he's crawling everywhere and pulling himself up against any piece of furniture, or leg, or sister.....

Picking up the pieces

Pa's back yard. (Tamsyn doesn't need to be in the play pen, she just likes to share it with Angus...)

I had a sad yet happy nearly-two weeks in Geelong, and came home only to fall into an emotional heap.

I'm grateful of these two small people in my life, they give me something positive to focus on.  I'm also grateful for a loving, caring and understanding husband who knows how to do and say the right things at the right times.
