Small things

Everything in life boils down to small things. Right?! Please say yes, because this past week has been one small thing after another. Wee, poo... all small things from a small little PUPPY!

We got the kids a puppy for Christmas. They jumped out of their skin, totally unbelieving that we would actually be doing it. So we've chosen this little King Charles Spaniel. We all named him Hunter. The kids are in love. And he is lovely. The wee on the floor is not so lovely, but I think he is learning and the abundance of hardwood floor is coming in very very handy.

This was Hunter when we visited him at 7 weeks old.

And when we brought him home at 9 weeks old.

You could just eat him!

And 2 girls, each with a puppy. Too cute!!

We didn't get out on the water much this Christmas. 

The weather was fine, but somehow we just got busy with kids (really?!!!)

 and playing games and relaxing on the beach with new kayaks. 

Which was so fun.

But on our last full day at Bruny we went out on the boat, ski biscuiting... 

and check out what we spotted. 

It just started with, "ooh look, there's some dolphins over there"

Can you see this one under the water?

Then they got closer (that's me on the ski biscuit)

Good pics are hard to get of fast jumping dolphins...

Here comes 2 straight towards us

If you look closely, there's one just behind and to the left of me in the picture

And here's a few also very close!

What you can't see is all the ones underneath me. 

I could see nearly a dozen at a time.

Pretty much jumping out of my skin with excitement. 

They were so playful. Such showoffs.

A really beautiful experience.
