Here are Munchkin and J having their playdate :)
J (in the blue) is a week older than Munchkin, but you wouldn't think it to look at them lol. It is great fun (and a blessing!) to watch them interact now they are getting old enough to notice each other. When we meet again next month, both boys will be crawling - then the fun will really start :P

One of my favourite blessings - our monthly playdate with a neighbouring family. Here are Wombat and L playing together on the 'dirt mountain'.

This blessing will stretch over two days - have you ever tried to get two nearly 3-year-olds and two 6-month-olds into the same photo???

When counting my blessings, there is one very obvious place to start - the source of endless amusement, challenges and a constant spur to my creativity. It's Wombat, of course! Here he is, platypus hunting (or should that be hunting platypi?)

This photo is just so appropriate because he is turning into the sort of little boy who is almost always in motion - in those rare moments when the feet aren't going, the mind is churning like a windmill. It is such a precious journey watching him develop. Thank you God, for blessing me with my Wombat.

(Of course, platypuses are very shy creatures, and should there be one - by some miracle - residing in our dam, it would vanish instantly at the mere thought of this romping stomper!)

When I was thinking about my first post for "blessings", this is not what I had in mind! But isn't that what you love about blessings? How they take you by surprise and turn your day upside down? Wombat and I were taking Munchkin for an early morning stroll near the dam when we spotted a flash of white in the water - a very rare (for us) waterlily!

One Word

The Shutter Sisters have announced their "one word project" and I am looking forward to joining in. For February, we are invited to choose our own word to inspire all our photographs for that month.

After a lot of thought, I have finally chosen my focus word. It is

BLESSINGS

I've got a lot of them - and this February, I am going to 'count' them lol. Stay tuned for more :)
