Taken outside a bar in Sydney City

Dad snaps a happy scene beside home's Christmas tree.

Christmas scorcher days we, or at least Bea and I, absolutely adore! Too bad Alfred hates the heat.

Me slumped on a train station, exhausted from all the walking.

Alfred handling three hyperactive kids on a trip to the museum: PRICELESS

Now a bit of trivia (courtesy of Alfred), Vikings never wore a helmet with horns on its sides. It was merely artists' interpretation that very well blended with fact in the years that came. Their helmets looked the same as this one, but without the horns.

Dad takes Bea and her cousins to see the Vikings exhibit on the National Maritime Museum.

The start of hard work, which hopefully would turn into beatiful music.

Bea learns to hold the bow from her Swedish teacher, who studied violin since he was 3.

Bea Learns to Play the Violin: Day One
As parents, our initiation to Suzuki, which more than a method of learning music is a way of life, culture and philospohy.

Could that smile be any wider?

The family picks up Bea's violin, which she has named "vina." No idea why. Memorable scene: Bea gasps "this is a dream come true!" to the surprise of the shopkeeper.
