my little pony...

Meet the family... John, Lachlan and our dog (or rather, pony) Ushki. John had just finished work and as tradition, took Lachlan outside so they could both say hello to Ushki. A few minutes later, I heard John holler for me to grab the camera for a rare photo opportunity... Ushki is not like most Great Danes who are known for being placid and docile. I am sure she suffers from ADHD. So to see her willingly stand with Lachlan on her back, was a rare sight indeed! Thank you Ushki!

when the sun comes out...

We have had a lot of rain lately, and one week it rained everyday. Not that we mind the rain, it just gets a little boring being couped up inside. So when the grey clouds parted and we saw the beautiful sunshine, we made the most of it!
We have a little park around the corner from our home. We walked there first and enjoyed swinging in the breeze! Lachlan loves the swing and giggled every time he flew toward me. He teaches me to savour the small things...

The weather was still really fresh, so we had to rug up, beanies and all!


After our play at the park, we went to see 'the pony'. He lives on an empty block not far from our home and is quite a novelty in our neighbourhood. This was Lachlan's first time meeting him and they both seemed very interested in one another. (I think Lachlan won the staring competition!)
