Happy Fathers Day (in Australia)

Poppy got her Daddy a present they could read together and after a weekend away, Rohan arrives home to find his present (a week late)...

Friends, bubs and a long over due catch up….

After far too log a lovely weekend with old friends and new babes was certainly in order. From far(Israel) and away (Bella Bella) we gathered in a smallish Vancouver flat to catch up and have our daughters meet some new friends…hopefully friendships that will last as long as ours have. (lots of credit to suz who took many of these pics…I was just too slow with the camera!)

Three happy girls that look just like their daddies...Olive, Poppy & Shilo

For the love of long weekends...

Night one started in Vancouver enjoying a late night BBQ and a gorgeous sunset at Spanish banks

The magnificient view from our oceanside cabin in Gibsons, we saw dolphins,
 a family of otters, eagles (and maybe a termite or 2...)
