retreat from it all

We went on a 6day Yoga retreat in Healesville straight after Christmas.
Joel was number one Daddy while Kate did the classes (-this was such a treat for all of us as it turned out - I loved getting some time 'off' and Joel loved having some time 'on').

(fashion note: check out RR's trendy new xmas hoodie from mum)

Meet Rakaia's new best friend: Darshan. His Mummy Anahata was teaching the retreat so he was hanging out with his Daddy too!



Over the week these two became as thick as thieves... very funny to be around!!!

spontaneous DOG POSE (RR's new fave word) sessions abounded!!!

Bath time was shared every evening.
The bub on the left is Jimmy, whose Mumma Jo was also doing the retreat.

SUPER DADDIES

Kate didn't completely miss out on all the fun...

ceremonial tree planting



RR received a lovely macadamia tree from grandpa herbert as her first birthday pressie....
We planted it right before a big storm (whoopsie) but it weathered the wind well and is thriving at the back of the garden. We might even get some nuts one day!
