Bea gets a taste of every child's dream - to become an astronomer!

Bea shows off her Merit Award presented during school assembly.

A lazy weekday afternoon is transformed into a photo session as dad asks me to smile while bathed in the afternoon sun. With so much time together, Alfred and I raid malls, cinemas, libraries, and art galleries. On our latest day out, we marvelled at self-portraits of Cezzane, Rubens, Van Gogh, F. Kahlo, Warhol and Rembrandt in a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit at the NSW Art Gallery. Too bad, photos are prohibited.

A week-end recreation ritual - park-hopping!

Our 'sweetest thing' is growing up fast.

We strike a pose to test the new webcam. But as always, Bea has to stand out.
