What's Doing

We’ve had a bit of a milestone this week. JFGP’s second plaster of the year has been removed. He is still on crutches, the doctor says that it will take up to a month to get back to normal. It was a good morning when the cast was removed though, as he had his first [...]

We skipped the March 2012 growing boys photo because one of our subjects wasn’t able to stand on the coffee table. I managed to persuade him to pose for this month though so here are two smiling boys in April. The crutches and plaster are a bit of a giveaway but JFGP broke his leg [...]

The norse invaders have landed. Well, they made a guest appearance at our annual Jervis Bay weekend. We weren’t put off by the inclement weather – although I did have to try and keep the rain off the barbecue whilst I was cooking dinner on Saturday. As usual we had a great weekend and everyone [...]

Here we have two small boys at the end of February, 2012. They have survived the first month of school and it’s all downhill from here. JFGP‘s cast is starting to show it’s age. Both with the accumulated dirt and debris and also with the odour. Four weeks of small boy activity and no washing [...]

JFGP had a little accident. He was on holiday with his Mum and his little brother and managed to take a tumble. They were camping just north of Newcastle and it had been raining – quite a lot. The assembled small people were playing in the playground at the camp site and number 1 son [...]

Here are our subjects at the start of the calendar year. New Year for us is at the beginning of the long summer holiday from school so I think we can say that the boys are relaxed. This picture was taken on the first “Dad day” of the holidays. This is where I and two [...]

This is our official family photo for 2011. If I was witty and eloquent I would accompany it with an annual family message. But I can’t compete with Mil Millington. So go and read his message for a few wry smiles. I will let you into a little secret about this year’s photo. I had [...]

In a first, at least recently, here is the November photo of our two subjects actually published in the month of November. You probably won’t notice a lot of difference since last month but a variation in dress and expression is at least worth an extra picture. November is always a quiet month here. Spring [...]

I know it’s November, but I’m playing catch up. Somewhere between watching the Rugby World Cup, paying scant attention to the bin lids and working a little bit too much there doesn’t seem to have been much time to curate my photos. But I’m catching up. Slowly. Here is the formal picture of two small [...]

Please ignore the small boy behind the curtain. But if this works I may be moving my photos. More later, or not as the fancy takes me. On the off chance that anyone is still reading this collection of ramblings could you let me know by email or in the comments below if you can’t [...]
