Mad about the Boys
Today the boys went back to school. Usually this day can't some soon enough, but these school holidays seem to have flown by so quickly. Plus Ethan is now in his last year in primary school and Keanan is now in year four.
As I usually do, I just had to take a photograph for posterity. In reality I am sure that this will mean when they are older and have girlfriends I will be able to dig out these photos and embarrass the life out of the boys. Motherhood does have some perks!
There is a little bit of cheating involved as this was taken after coming home from school. And miracle of all miracles, Stephen agreed to a photograph.
This is the man who automatically raises a hand to his face when anyone gets a camera out. Or else failing that, scowls.
So apologies now for the gratuitous photographs of the Forde boys.
All three together:
Ethan and his Reading Mission Medal:
And always ready for a photo opportunity, Keanan:
What a great photo of dad and boys together. I hope the first day back was a good one.

It's wonderful to see a family so loved and happy--good for all of you. And good for Ethan in earning his reading medal.
