Once assembled, he was too scared to climb up to the top bunk, so he and Miss 2 are sharing the bottom bunk for now.

Here they are, discussing the situation, just after the bed was made for the first time.

It was the first time I’d paid for it since becoming a shooter, so it was a bit of a big deal.

This awesome headshot photographer did the deed.

Thanks for smiling in the general direction of my X100 afterwards, Alex!

In 2009, she was diagnosed with a highly malignant brain tumour. Last Monday night, it finally claimed her life.

She was 15.

What she achieved while fighting an epic battle with her medulloblastoma can only be described as profound. She published a book (based on her remarkable blog), raised funds and awareness for brain tumour research, created beautiful art, diligently continued her schooling, published another book (a picture book for children), and so much more.

She did it all while enduring devastating pain (and not just the physical kind). She did it all with a glorious smile. She did it all with utterly selfless love for everyone around her.

I met Dainere and her family in 2010, when I gave the Anthoneys a photo session. It was impossible not to love her.

My children were lucky enough to meet her during subsequent visits to Canberra. We imagined we were cheering her up, but I suspect we were the main beneficiaries of these visits. Dainere’s grace and serenity were extraordinary. And that smile …

Dainere, you lived your short life like a superhero. We miss you already, but we’re so glad your pain is over. And don’t worry, we’ll do everything we can to give your beloved family all the love they’ll need as they figure out how to live without you.

Goodbye, beautiful rainbow girl.

(A few photos from today’s celebration of Dainere follow.)

Yep. It’s wattle. And sky.

These were taken moments apart and have quite different “vibes”. Waiting – or not waiting – can make all the difference in this game.

This is uncropped at a focal length equivalent to 35mm (as per all of my X100 photos). That’s how close you can get to these beauties at Western Plains Zoo.

I heart Dubbo.

I really can’t overstate the importance of finding a comfortable position when performing domestic duties. There’s much to be said for the inside of the clothes horse, for example.

The only light source in this image was the TV.

A second LCD features in this one.

It’s OK, he spends at least 80% 10% of his awake time not engaged with these pulpits of Satan educational devices.

She loves books, animals (especially dogs), peeking out through the curtains while she falls asleep, asymmetry and shoes.

Sometimes, she likes waking up.

Speaking of Daddy’s truck: where else would you sit for lunch after falling in a muddy puddle? (Clearly Mr 3 does not take after his beloved Peppa Pig.)

I’ve been parking my car downstairs in the garage lately. Within seconds, this little man – fresh out of the bath, usually – jumps in, determined to extract a few minutes of play in “Daddy’s truck”.

They call this the “Happy House”. I’m not sure how happy I’d be with 240V wired directly into my forehead, but I guess that could be a smile…

While other forms of communication are under construction, opening the fridge, pointing, and saying, “mooore?” is always an option.

I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have enjoyed those pickles, though. Eww.

Given how much difficulty I had persuading my own son to allow me to take this photo, I don’t think “child headshot specialist” is likely to appear in my marketing materials anytime soon.

Then again, there was a slide nearby. And swings. And… a slide.

My desk is rarely this tidy, but I do try to leave it looking semi-respectable on Friday afternoons.

Meanwhile, energy drink is rarely absent from my desk – it’s part of how I’m coping with my achalasia. Not that many people seem to believe me.

Marijuana is supposed to help, too. Hopefully a surgical fix will be organised before I need to hit the streets for a dealer…

1 May = Wednesday = small group night = the first of a “this is my life” mini-series.

Also, the first night our electronic Bibles outnumbered our paper ones.

Thankfully, plenty of paper remained on-hand for spill removal.
