The main family event this coming week is Jonah's birthday. On Tuesday he'll become one. What a moment!

Today the teachers who have been running the swim classes Ben has attended held a celebration ceremony. All the children were presented with medals for their efforts and progress this term. This was followed by pool games. Watching the children swimming persuaded Jenny and I then when we got home we too should go for a swim. So, following the swim, we had a swim.

If there is a post, there will be photos, so look right. (There is a slideshow button near the top left corner).

gradually

Ben graduated from his Nursery yesterday. KidsZone had hosted Ben for close to 18 months. We wish you all could have been there because these coming of age moments are emotionally spectacular. Afterwards we went out with the families of a few of Ben's friends. Boy was it a great day!

Jonah is walking. As soon as his ambulation and the rolling video occur simultaneously, we'll post it for you. Jonah becomes a one year old on Tuesday. We'll celebrate it on Friday with, obviously, a pool party.

I've added a slideshow to the right. Each slideshow will be named exactly the same as the post. So today's photos are labelled 'gradually'.

If you click on a photo it takes you to our Picassa album. You can then use the magnify button to see the photos in huge format. Not always useful, but Ben's report is posted today and you'll want to see that big.

We love to receive your comments so thank you for posting them.

my boys

There is a song in our family (many actually) that goes like this:

my boys my boys my boys my boys (repeat)

The actions vary but always involve both Jonah and Benjamin being held by Daddy and being jiggled up and down. They usually hold each other too and giggle madly. It's sweet.

short stuff

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to share with friends and family the developments of our two amazing boys.

We aim to keep it updated very regularly, even if just with short bites.

The more we watch our boys, the more we want to share them with you. Each day brings more laughing and wonder than the entire Police Academy series.

We also plan to add photos and video too.

Do RSS/bookmark this page and do leave comments. We will share them with our boys when you do.

Thank you.
