Darci had a marathon session at the hairdresser (La Bimbi, Belconnen) today… they cut about 12 inches off the length, and then it took two hairdressers to blowdry and straighten it! … two hours later and the results are amazing!

It was a sad day today… today Gus went to live with his new family. Unfortunately, after months of trying, it turns out that Gus and Emmett just couldn't work out who was boss at home… and that made everyone unhappy :( At his new home, Gus is the one and only and will be spoiled rotten!

Jaimi | 22 years
Jaimi likes to read her Phantom comics on this little landing, at the top of the stairs, in the middle of the house… she loves this spot, because the sun streams through the window on her back, plus, she gets to be a part of the hussle and bussle that is our house, without having to actually physically join in <3
