Autumn fig leaf...

...to cover Santiago's shame ;-)

Satiago chilling with Tiger...

...Saturday morning on the couch.

Santiago's first...

...swimming lesson! He loved the water, he isn't afraid of getting his head under water like his old man was (is?).

Easter Family Portrait

Autumn red grape vine leaves make a nice back drop for a warm afternoon at the end of a very peaceful and enjoyable weekend.

Santiago's tooth has come through...

...so the hoodie gets the chew!

Good Friday chew...

...teeth coming through gradually.

In the autumn garden...

...Santiago gets into a colourful mood.

That same view today...

...we're I'm a cloud!

View from my room...

...in Erice at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture.

Jumping for joy...

Santiago in his happy pants!

Santiago wrestles the President

After his speech Ramos-Horta meets Santiago and welcomes  him to East Timor in November.

Guests of honour...

...Susana and Santiago!

Jose Ramos-Horta arrives in Parkville...

...to receive his honorary Doctors of Laws at Monash University.

Colorful baby...

Santiago goes hippie.

Santiago behind the wheel for the first time

Susana handed him to me and he just naturally grab the steering wheel with two hands and started moving side to side.

Santiago in Olinda

He was fascinated to see a fireplace for the first time and feel the heat.

Santiago gives a knowing single eyebrow raised look...

Only his mother and my artist friend Chris Henschke have I known to be able to do that.

Santiago gears up for riding...

Dad's helmet and gloves are a bit big though!

Waxing up...

Santiago gets a feel for surfing.

Santiago on the beach...

...with Susana and Lucien surfing in the background.

Santiago, now sitting forward in the car

Debate rages, Sweden say 2 years, Victoria 6 months, so we are following his comfort and the safety instructions that come with the seat that say for his height and weight he should face forwards.
