such a small amount of photos that to save embarrassment on my part I have
combined two months. Luckily in September I was able to get the camera out a
little more due to a beautiful farm-stay in Orange, NSW with <a href="http://westoodtogether-ambz.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/documenting-delight-day-one-hundred-and_28.html" target="_blank">our dear friends Chris and Melinda</a> and their adorable girls, Maggie and Edie. Although any
opportunity to spend time with this lovely family is a treat, this get together
was extra special as it was to celebrate Melinda’s 40</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;">. When this
trip was in the planning phase I couldn’t believe that she wanted to pass up a
big party to stay on a sheep farm with our family, but really when I thought
about more it suited her perfectly. Our quietly spoken, gentle, kind-hearted,
creative, humble, loving friend asked for quality time with her own family and
ours, good food cooked by others, a bushwalk and a cheese cake birthday cake.
All these things were easy to deliver, and an absolute pleasure to be a part of.
Thank you Melinda for inviting us along. Our families still live apart and every time we spend time together then have to depart, I wish desperately that the distance wasn't there. Your family are pure loveliness and so are you. Happy birthday dear friend. xx</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">

It was supposed to be the holiday month, with school holidays and various public holidays within, a promise of slow days, days as a family and the freedom from routines. Instead it was draining, emotional and anything but restful. Parenting moments that pushed us, made us (I mean me) cry, forced us to stop, re-group and work out what was important to us and how to adjust things to create change. If you have a spirited child in your family you will know how the rollercoaster of incredible lows and tremendous highs consume your family's life. We have come out the other side and now I can look back and see for all it's challenges there were enormous moments of growth too. Throughout this month I thought a lot about what I <a href="http://westoodtogether-ambz.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/documenting-delight-day-two-hundred-and_29.html">wrote here</a> and of the daily promise I make to myself (and both my kids) to be a strong and kind parent. I didn't get there all of the time, but I did learn a lot from my mistakes. No one said this parenting gig was meant to be easy right? </o:p></span></span></span><br />

Cool to cold days and an acceptance that the hard Winter months are approaching. A contrast this year is that March was warmish. More time to spend outdoors and even a weekend where the kids danced and ran through the backyard sprinkler. Strange, but wonderful all the same. </o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "AmericanTypewriter LT Medium";"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>This month our Finn turned six. When he hit five years old I could still kid myself that he was still "little", but not with this birthday. He seems grown up. Since starting Kindergarten he has matured and is showing more and more confidence in and outside of school. He is still playful, funny and sensitive but school seems to have given him a chance to foster his independent side, to find and sustain friendships and become immersed in learning. As a solitary man by nature, it has been a long road to feeling comfortable within bigger groups for our Finn, but here he is now, confident and happy being within a class. He's a delight to be with; a curious soul with a tender heart and a lover of all things LEGO. He is six and we love him so. </o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;">That's it, another year and another photography project comes to a close. I'm really thankful that I documented 2013. This year is the end of a very significant period in my life; my last year of being a full time stay at home mum. Next year big changes occur; Preschool for Harper, Kindergarten for Finn and returning to teaching part-time and returning to uni for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;">Moments big and small that were captured in 2013 will be different next year. I accept that I wont be able to document them in ways that I have in past years too. But boy and I grateful for the time I had over the past six years to focus, capture and tuck away these images for future days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">2013 was a good year for us. I've bundled up a snapshot of our year, from start to finish, that you can find </span><a href="https://vimeo.com/82997914"><span style="font-size: x-small;">here</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;">Happy New Year friends!</span></div>

With each suggestion, he would quickly change the subject or tell me "I'll do it later". I knew with twenty cards to write there was no way he would preserve with the task if he felt pressured into it. So I waited. One morning I sat down at the craft table and cut up twenty squares and wrote one child's name on each piece of paper. Finn walked in and sat down next to me, "What's this?". I told him these were his pre-school friends names and hey would you like to play a little game with me? I put down one card at a time and told him if he could read the name to take the card and put it in front of him. I have seen him read some of these names before around his learning space at school so I knew he would experience success easily. His pile got higher and higher with gasps of "I know that one!" Once the game was over I placed the Christmas cards out on the table with some stickers and textas and he was straight into it. He sat for an hour and wrote on each card (I encouraged him to take a break, but he wouldn't!). He let out a deep sigh when he finished, "Good, now I can go to the toilet!" }</td></tr>

<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "AmericanTypewriter LT Medium";"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>{Harper} Yesterday you turned four. Finally. Since way back in February you have been talking about being a big four year old. You moved from telling people you are "three and a half" to "three and three quarters" and now you have reached that magical age you have longed for. Finn told you when you woke up on your birthday that you "looked taller". That made you happy. </o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "AmericanTypewriter LT Medium";"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>When I think about you being four the first thing that pops in my head is that boring old cliché of time passing quickly. I can't believe it was only four years ago that you came into this world in one almighty hurry. I really can't.</o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "AmericanTypewriter LT Medium";"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>In the lead up to your birthday I have been thinking about you and what you mean to me. When I focus in on what makes you <em>you</em> I can't help but think about how you have changed <em>me. </em>On this day which is all about you<em>,</em> I shouldn't be thinking about myself but it seems as though I can't separate the two. You are strong and abundantly loving. You are a helper, the one who always pitches in when something needs to be done. You are a nurturer and will look out for anyone (be that a baby doll or a real person) to care for. You are one of the most sociable people I know and you really do stand out in this family full of introverts. You are a masterful negotiator, with your most frequently used sentence being "Well, what about..........?" and you give the warmest snuggles around. For all of these qualities and more you have changed me. Your strength has made me stronger and more importantly your love has made me more loving. I love you Harps, my delightful girl. </o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: AmericanTypewriter LT Medium; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "AmericanTypewriter LT Medium";"><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p>This week we looked after Harper's friend Evie while her mum, Jess, went to work. As always Jess was so thankful, but really I needed to pour all of the thanks back to her. Not only is Evie an absolute delight to look after but the two girls played beautifully together for most of the day, making our day very easy. You see, independent play isn't one of Harper's strengths. She's a social creature and sitting by herself with her toys just doesn't cut it. She craves interaction and someone else's presence (usually mine). Today meant that Harper had a playmate (and one who would indulge her love for imaginary fairy/princess play, unlike her brother) and I got a little breather. </o:p></span></span></span><br />

Which just happens to be a lazy couple of streets down from the beach. The kids were both excited about the thought of visiting the beach but the reality was a <em>little</em> different. Finn in particular struggled with the sand and the waves. As he stood on the sand he would scream "The waves are too big!" (they were actually just gently lapping his toes) My sister who was minding our towels overheard the local family next to her giggling at my two running away from the waves and reassured them "They're from Canberra". Yep, we are pretty clueless when it comes to beach living. </o:p></span></span></span><br />

Alone and quiet are not two words strongly associated with Harper this week. It was our first week of holidays and a lovely escape from the normal school routine. Finn desperately needed this time to reboot, to play independently and just be. Everytime Finn would quietly dash off to his room to play with his Lego, Harper would be at his door "So Finn what do you want to play now?" It was a week of trying to juggle their differing play needs. Some days successful and others, not so much. </o:p></span></span></span><br />

I have fond memories of these books from my time as a Year 1/2 teacher. I remember reading them after lunchtime as the students laid on their backs listening and quietening their bodies after an active time on the playground. For the past year I have been collecting them at op shops (with the help of my sister in law) and waiting for the right time to introduce them. Initially they were both keen but as the week went on Harper deemed them "too scary" so Lachie and I have been finding pockets of time to read them just to Finn. He loves them, and we love reading them to him.}</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">{on Fridays Harper goes to Family Daycare as I usually work, however being the holidays I wasn't working. On Wednesday my plan was to not send her, but come Thursday night I decided that Finn was in need of some quality one on one time with me. I did have a touch of the guilts as I sent her off to care for the day but I tried to remember one of the themes from one of my favourite (and much referenced) parenting books <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Siblings-Without-Rivalry-Children-Together/dp/0393342212">'Siblings without Rivalry'</a>, "Give time according to need". I couldn't (and didn't) give of my time equally this week to Finn and Harper but I knew that Finn <em>needed</em> some of my time and this was one way I could give it. <br />We visited a friend in the morning and as we drove home I asked him what he would like to do when we arrived home.<br />Finn: "I was thinking that we could do some craft. Something together."<br />Me: "That sounds perfect. What do you think we should make?"<br />Finn: "Well, I would like to make a yellow Canberra firetruck, <em>buuuuuut</em> if you have a better suggestion, well I think we should do that instead.*"<br />Seriously kiddo, I love you and your thoughtful mind.<br />
