Our lives in pictures
Aurelia and Auntie Shirley, Jacq's mom-in-law at Jacq's place. It was such a lovely evening and we've spent so many lovely evenings there. You know, it's the simple things that we miss most of all, i think when we look back. You see it everyday and then, one day, it's gone. And you're amazed when you look back, savouring those many moments like lost miracles.
Ma and Auntie Shirley with the kids. Dinner time at the zoo!!!
Jacq and Vanitha, Jacq's helper, making wan tons. Jac in her 'ethnic' outfit. It's an outfit that Ma uses as well when she sweeps up in front of the house very morning. It is without doubt the only bra-and-sarong outfit worn in their own neighbourhoods in public. This is yet more proof that Jacq is becoming my mother.
Oisin poses with the bumbo, a cushy plastic number for babies to help them sit. Except, like every other device bought for babies, none of the two babies like it. Ghin finds it too confining and will crawl with it on his bum - looking like a snail - and Aurelia can't bear being in it. Hence the use of thing as hat.
Ma and the babies. With Oisin doing a Breughal in the background.
