Smiling at Mummy

We went to the Zoo this morning. Luckily I had my camera with me and managed to squeeze off a couple of shots. This one of JFGP smiling at his Mum is probably the pick of the bunch. The rest are available at my flickr page. Oh and you’ll need to sign in because most [...]

Doing Chores

Today we have mainly been doing chores. The major project of the day was to fix one of the slats in JFGP and "the Juice"’s cubby house. It was looking run down when we moved in, and it’s only taken me ten months to get the materials together to replace it.
Sadly I was deficient [...]

Hopefully with my telephoto lens I’ll be able to get some pictures of the action where you can actually see [...]

I’ll be celebrating mine tomorrow, because it’s Left Handers Day. Come join me in awkward writing and cutting land, it’s really quite fun.

On Fatherhood

I love the way JFGP runs down the hallway when I come through the front door after work.
I also love the way he only ever occupies the top third of his bed. Maybe he’s being cost conscious and saving the other two thirds of the mattress for future wear and tear.
I love the way [...]

Action Toddler

JFGP emerging from a tunnel. This was taken at last week’s organised enjoyment session and just goes to show how much fun small people can have at such an event.
As a result of continued attendance at these events nothing that rises more than about fifty centimetres from the ground is sacred any more. The [...]
