HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY PAPA!





BLESSED ARE WE

Ice cream and then full bellies!

Love this selection of photos of the boys having an ice cream treat at Pizza Hut.  They eat and eat in a dedicated fashion, then lean on each other in the car on the way home and then lie down and play in bed before having a story with mama to end the day!  Ahh, lovely!

Ode to my poops

Ode to my poops

I am on another plane, this time to Bali, leaving you boys in the loving arms of your mama. So what I thought I might do is write a bit about how wonderful your mama is and how I love her very much. We are all very very lucky to have her, she is really only here for us, which means that Luca and Sash are really the two luckiest boys on the planet!  And me too! She is far too selfless for her own good and worries about her two boys all the time, like me. Anyway she makes me want to be a better person and is the wind beneath my wings so I guess that is the biggest compliment I can make about her. I was listenng to a song on the plane which I dedicate to her. When you guys get older you can get to know the music by a band called Crowded House. Mum and I used to listen to it alot when you were not around. There was this album called Together Alone, which maybe one day you will love as much as we do. Songs like Together Alone and Fingers of Love remind me of your mama and how unique and beautiful she is.

There is also another song called Fall at your feet which makes me think of your mum too... 

Here is mama holding Sash's hand and getting him across the road safely
Cuddles with the boys!

Boys having fun with mama in Canberra

Beautiful boys and mama huggling

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Know
I'll be waiting when you call

Hey, whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

Whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Whenever I fall (at your feet)
Whenever I fall
