Thursday, January 9, 2014. These are a series of Tucker cavorting, with an appreciative audience. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Here we come to see Tucker, oh boy, oh boy! Everyone was looking forward to the visit, even my big sister, Lucy. Lucy got to ride him first. I felt pretty brave, but mommy helped me sit on him. I got a little braver. It was lots of fun. Lucy gave Tucker a kiss.

Brisbane has seen a dumpling invasion in the last year. Prior to this, dumpling enjoyment was restricted to a trip out to Sunnybank or a meal of yum cha in Chinatown.

Over the last few years Ali and I started this amazing family tradition of driving down Charlotte Pike on Saturday mornings so she can shop at thrift stores and I can sift through the comic shelves at Great Escape.
