Boys being boys...

 Jake and I are so lucky to be able to spend so much time with this gorgeous little boy.  He is such a cutie pie and it's such fun to see his personality growing.  He gets so excited to see Jake (and Corky and Bi), he really loves his cousins a lot.  Jake really loves having younger cousins, although sometimes he gets a bit impatient and he can't understand why Corky wants to copy him all the time.  Such great life lessons for him, especially since he doesn't have siblings!! 
 Winter has been tough for this boy, who loves running around barefoot outside, swimming and eating ice lollies.  Summer just doesn't seem to be coming fast enough!!  Spring is here though, we can see it in the garden as everything is starting to grow wild!  Rylee helped clear up the cuttings from our pomegranate tree yesterday and very proudly told Jake "I working very hard, Jake".  Too cute.  It didn't last for long, but he's definitely a very practical boy, like his daddy...
 Look at those gorgeous eyes!  and his hair doesn't look that red in real life.  He's definitely got some red in there, but not entirely...
And let me not get talking about this boy's eyes.  Oh my.  The windows to my soul!  I love this boy so much and he's growing up far too quickly now.  Just slow down for a minute...
 Duracell's still hanging in there.  He enjoys his food very much and every now and then runs around like a puppy.  His legs are sore though and he struggles to get up and down the stairs.  He can't even lift his leg for a widdle any more.  It breaks my heart to know that our goodbye isn't too far away...
 Like Jake, Rylee's grown up with dogs in the house (and Hilux is not a gentle boy) and he is crazy about them.  We try keep him away from Duracell though, he tends to be a little grumpy sometimes...
 There's my mom too, enjoying some spring sunshine in the back garden.  Our kids have all been so blessed to have grandparents who give up so much to look after them while we work...
 Oh Jake... you're too big, boy!  The top of Jake's head is past my eyebrows now and I'm sure it won't be long before he passes me.  His feet have been bigger than mine for a while already...
I've booked a photo shoot for Jake and I too.  We don't have many great photos of both of us and I feel that it's something important to do before Jake gets a hairy face.  It's not a cheap exercise, but I am really looking forward to it!  We're booked for 4 November and so the diet is on - I have to look good!  Hopefully she can airbrush away a few inches ;o)  As soon as the pics are ready, I'll share the link!

Sending love,

PS.  It feels like Friday today.
