Time Capsule

It often seems to me that the times in my life when I should be really taking time to reflect, appreciate and capture memories, is when I do the least. As a result, there are big gaps in this chronicle. So here’s a little less space between the beats: It’s in these periods of intense activity and creation when I …

Daintree Daydreaming…

We recently returned from a week in the Daintree in the far north of Queensland – way up there in the tropical jungle with the crocodiles (tho we never saw any). We did see lots of amazing butterflies, a spotted tree monitor (the big lizard pictur…

Busy Brains

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted, but I’ve been run off my feet with new Collabforge work! Of course I can’t complain, but I’ve been working through weekends for a few months now, which is less than fun when I’ve got two luvsuckers at my h…

Lucas & Cedar @ 2yrs (+ a little)

It’s been a few months since my last update on Cedar and Lucas, and of course a lot has happened in that time. (in the photo: Cedar left, Lucas right) They’re moving from the ‘telegraphic’ phase of speach (two word combinations) to the beginnings …

It’s Official, They’re Identical!

100% identical DNA confirms it. I’ve been wanting to get back to blogging for some time now, but these boys keep us so busy, we’ve barely got time to do anything but the minimum. Nevertheless, here I am, back to the blog. Do they look identical? S…

Final days of PhD… (yikes!)

2 weeks and 5 days to go… This will be a very short update – with less than three weeks of time left to complete my PhD I’m working very long days to make the most of it. But, I did want to take a moment to update as a lot has happened in the la…

Cedar and Lucas Smiling

First smiles caught on video. They’ve been smiling for months now, but it is getting much more frequent so we decided to try to catch it on video. Of course, i had to whip something up in imovie – it’s short but cute. The background sound gives yo…
