In January, we dug a big hole

and played some cricket.

In February, my baby girl started school and my boy built a tower that reached to the sky.

In March (and a bit of February), I covered a fair portion of Philip Island on my bike.

I also made some necklaces.

In April I found a mermaid at the beach and three days later watched her jump on a hail covered trampoline.

In May, we bought a car and flew to Queensland the next day.

We also bought a new waterproof camera.

In June I sold a piece of jewellery to a stranger for the first time. I also found time for some soccer practice.

In July we played with some giant chipmunks

a giant car

and giant ants.

In August, we did some baby sitting

built a snowman

and made a coffee table for my wife’s birthday.

In September we welcomed a new cousin into the world

and had a super hero birthday party.

In October I was acting Hawthorn Librarian and work took a lot of my focus

but I did find time for a spot of pruning.

In November we went hunting butterflies

spent some quality time with Nanny when she visited from Canada

and celebrated a birthday party with the world’s cutest fairies.

In December I made some vases

a soccer goal

a rapunzel tower

and did some decoupage.

We enjoyed pancakes at Phillip Island with family

and hosted Christmas for the first time.

We played with some critters

ran

laughed

and smiled

And we had spent another year together.

No wonder I’m tired.
