Miller's Lego Series: Bazooka Man

Friday, January 24, 2014 by Cam, P and Indigo

You can't beat lego for tapping into the creative spirit and away from screens. Miller does a lot of lego builds but we never capture or save them. We're going to keep capturing each new build and publish it on the public record. And, yes, that is a tyre from one of his lego cars in the middle.

We're Back ONLINE!!! Miller and Indigo Witness an Ear Piercing

Saturday, January 18, 2014 by Cam, P and Indigo

As said recently by Alvin and the Chipmunks in the Squekwal, we're back. 

We're going old school and hitting the internets with our blog powered by blogger. It's been five years and this blog caught a terrible case of hiatus. 

To kick of proceedings, here's some freeze frames from a recent trip to the farm to see a cow get an ear tag as part of the national livestock identification system. 

1. Poor unsuspecting cow


2. Straight into the ear with some medieval device 


3. Indi and Miller start to figure out what is actually happening



4. And now they think the cow is going to die


5. Relief that the cow is ok



6. Bill Murray from Ghostbusters voice...'and the cow is still standing'

Great day out.

The Best Part of Cooking A Cake....

Sunday, September 28, 2008 by Cam, P and Indigo






This was Miller's first time "helping" me make a cake! He loved it. It took a complete outfit change at the end. He managed to get the cake mix all over himself, Indigo, me and the kitchen!

Different?

by Cam, P and Indigo



As Indigo and Miller get older there differences are standing out more and more. This photo demonstrates Indigo's clean eating and Miller's messy eating. Miller did find every piece of popcorn and eat it and when he was done with his, he roughed his way in on Indi's bowl.

On our recent trip to Byron we got to feed the cows at Nan and Pop's house. This one has a big tongue.

If we could all sleep like this, the airlines would have no customers for first and business class. Unfortunately this skill wears off over time.

The Scariest Ride at Luna Park

The ferris wheel used to be a fun ride for the family. Yet, with Miller know getting some strength, it is now terrifying. He tries to pull himself through the bars and he is really, really strong. We were scared the whole time.

We found the closest park to where we got some wedding photos taken at McMahon's Point so that we could reminisce with the kids. They were interested with our story, until they saw the swings.

Puppy Love.

Thursday, June 12, 2008 by Cam, P and Indigo







Our 2 children could not be more opposite. I am not sure Indi has ever touched a dog and the first opportunity that Miller had he was all over the dogs in Dubai. His favourite part was their eyes. The dogs were the most placid things ever, they wouldn't even move when he tried.

And yes, Miller is starting a new fashion with the no shirt, bib look.

Who ran out of energy first???

by Cam, P and Indigo




Indigo had an excellent time with her Uncle Jack and Aunty Sam in Dubai. She would run around like crazy with Uncle Jack and get totally worn out, then rest and be gentle with Aunty Sam.

Packing right.

by Cam, P and Indigo







So going to the Middle East you don't really think about packing your winter woolies, but we needed them! We spent a morning at Ski Dubai which is in the middle of a shopping center and absolutely freezing. A quick stop at the shops by Grandma and Grandpa and Indigo was decked out in warm gear, (yes it was an issue that the gloves were green and not Pink, i think it is the first purchase for Indigo by Grandpa that wasn't pink!) Indigo had a great time in the snow park while I skied with Jack and Sam.

This is your Captain (Grandpa) speaking.....

Well, we survived all the flights to Dubai. Both kids were awesome (most of the time). They both slept a lot, Miller was wedged into the bassinet. We were lucky enough to be flown home by my Dad who gave Indigo her own message over the "loud telephone" (as Indi called it). We had the best in air service, we felt like celebrities. First class service......in economy.
