My intention to post photos of the kids finally grew strong enough to propel me over the tedious technical obstacles thereto.

Memo to self (and

niallm): take more photographs of Fiachra.

(I should really find and photograph a swan and two cygnets to replace this icon - but I suspect I'm a bit late for that this year...)

These ones are quite recent (within the last month or so), and taken by Niall.

Oisín wields a hurley with a look of grave sympathy.

Here, he is being (as far as I recall) a bear.

Fiachra has wavy hands.

Sometimes they are claspy, too.

These ones are a bit older, and taken by me.

Remember when Oisín wanted pink and purple clothes? This ensemble comes from the girls' section of H&M. I found the top, and he chose the trousers to match. (And yes, enragingly, these are the flimsiest garments he owns.)

These images are pretty terrible - they're from my old phone - but I love this picture. It's very rockstar, I feel.

This one is less rockstar, more three-year-old. The top is from Du Pareil Au Même.

And this is the other DPAM top.

Fiachra dresses in pink and purple too - he's seen here modelling a tank top I knit him.

And here's Oisín in blue.

This is how Oisín and K occupied themselves one day in late winter. The scarecrows are made of bits of bamboo stake taped together and dressed in my painting clothes and Oisín's outgrown pyjamas.
