Boat pup

We took Tani for his first boat trip in the Dampier Archipelago.  It was a great day which started with a herd of dugong 5 minutes from the boat ramp!  I was super exited!!!

And ended with a pod of bottlenose dolphins which came right up to the boat.

Burrup gorges

Tani learns to swim in the beautiful gorges on the Burrup.

Thailand trip

In February I met Mum, Dad, Jul, Hylan and Aili in Thailand for a couple of weeks.

It was Aili's first trip to Thailand and it was great to see her with Tuat (great-grandmother).

Creative Pup

We have a very artistic puppy... here is one of Tani's art installations:
This one's a string compilation called "Manny did it".

Being this creative is tiring.

OK, so I'm hugely behind in blog posts... read on for my attempt to catch up on the past few months...

Tani punishes his Mummy for being so far behind in the family's blog site...

Tani's graduation

On Thursday 2nd February, our clever little boy graduated from Puppy Pre-school classes!  He topped the class in the final test (it was stiff competition) and won first prize!

Here he is in his graduation cap.

Tropical Cyclone Iggy... and the mud

I'm a bit behind in my blogs - this one is from late January! (Australia Day long weekend)...

TC Iggy was a lot more eventful than Heidi and brought almost a week of lovely drenching rain - yay!! 

During the week Adam and I finished two garden beds.  Concreting in the pouring rain was sometimes challenging!





Parts of our garden were a boggy quagmire... everything got covered in mud!

But the end result was worth it.
