I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

Hope dear little Ez enjoyed his special day (still can't believe it's been a whole year!!!) and I hope Henry had just as much fun too!
LOVE the jacket! I wonder if his great grandmother would make ME one too!!!
Looking forward to the rest of the pics!
Give them both (your boys) a kiss, from me!
I have taken it as a complement.
I like the look that both Henry and Ezra are giving into the camera. Where are you Kris? ;-)
Hope Ez had a very special birthday and wish him many many many more such special days ahead in his life.
I can understand Henry's predicament at being relegated to being a spectator but never mind Henry, we'll make sure you celebrate your next birthday in India and have a blast too.
We are waiting for lots of photographs of the birthday proceedings.
:-P
By the way I forgot to mention, Ez's outfit is beautiful. It is a pleasure to have women in the family who are so good at knitting.
One of my aunt (my dad's elder sister) used to knit one cardigan/pullover for each of us children in the family every 2 or 3 years.
Have a nice day!!
She can be nothing else but a beautiful person to have given birth to such beautiful and charismatic boys.
It must be the camera's fault, I guess.
Henry does not look sullen to me. He is adorable.
You have your mother's lovely big eyes.
I guess good knitters run in Jen's family. Tell her that your great aunty Shirley (on your paternal grandmother's side) was the most lovely knitter I have ever seen (except for Jen!). She would have loved Jen's handiwork!
