a smile file, really for private consumption,
                                        but on the web anyway.
                                        don't tell anyone you've found it will you?

Thursday

how cute can kids be?


Watch out!

well, about this cute.

They all had come back from the beach and figured they'd go to New Brighton for a while. They did their hair, smelt nice, got dressed [a couple of changes] and off they went.

They came back with lollies and chippies and what seemed like more groceries than I buy in a week, but they'd had a fun time and looked a real picture

just one of the many

there's been a lot of times with Henny this holiday, she gets left behind when we're surfing, and is often at the back of things by dint of her size [youngest and littlest].
But these have been some very special moments, surfing on the same wave on our boogie boards, going out past the big guys to the deeper waves, long rides on bicycles to get chocolate to make some Ganache together. Early mornings before the rest awake.

And here, a beautiful warm norwest morning when the rest of them are still asleep and unaware of the beautiful day outside. We snook out, Henny still in her pyjamas and saw a few wonders including the smack of jellyfish babies. Good times

I love this time of day

Sunsets and sunrises, beautiful quality times of day, especially by the beach
