Time has passed quickly this January. My parents arrived at the beginning of the month and we've spent the last 3 weeks showing off Perth in all it's glory.
I think the highlight for my dad was the kangaroos.
He said it wouldn't be Australia if he didn't see kangaroos. So we delivered. We called him the kangaroo-whisperer. Not bad for a farm boy from Saskatchewan.
My mom on the other hand has the "take the bloody picture now before I pee my pants" look about her.
We even got a chance to have a quick family picture taken (this almost never happens - all cleaned up and sitting pretty).
And to top if off, I made a scarf. It's a silk-bamboo yarn blend from Kauai - soft and light and perfect for summer.
Next up - February. It should bring finished socks and maybe a sweater started....just maybe.

I think you described your Mom's expression very well.
And I love the family picture. Your boys have grown so much!
And when I come, I want to see a platypus. Just saying.
Great photos and lovely scarf. And remember Feb also brings the "real" summer heat!
There is no platypus at the Perth zoo OR at the wildlife park. I have yet to see one, but I will make it my goal to further research this for your arrival.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
It must have been wonderful having your parents visiting you in Perth.
I love your pictures of the family and your father looks so happy among the kangaroos.
Your scarf looks lovely!
