Family Photo 2010

I've never really been a fan of the posed family shot, but I've had to get over it in recent years. So, here it is--the one with no wonky smiles, no cranky children and no unseemly mullets.

Another Big Chop

Before.

Oh how sweet, our very own little Billy-Ray Cyrus.



Goodbye curls.

Missed nap

This is what happens if Reuben misses his afternoon nap.

Sleeping beauty

Kinder

Having a uniform and bag like the other kids has helped Soren to feel at home at Oasis. He is always happy to go, if not always happy to participate.

Soren's teacher is on the far left, Reuben's on the far right.

I do mornings at language school, so Phil does the drop-offs and pick-ups. He gets to hang out with the mums and they are quite comfortable chatting with him about all sorts of things.

From the beginning, Reuben has been desperate to go to Kinder too, and a spot recently opened up. He goes 8-10am five mornings, and forgets to say goodbye to Phil he's in such a rush to get inside. This photo was taken on his first day. Phil nervously peeked in the window to see how he was going, and Reuben was grinning his head off at him!

Bikes

Most afternoons I go out on the street with the boys, and chat with any neighbours who are hanging around. Soren's the one wearing a helmet.





Abdil adores Reuben, and will do anything for him. He often comes to our gate calling for the boys while they are resting/sleeping in the afternoon.
