A beautiful Saturday

This Christmas Alexis and I decided to forgo the usual piles of christmassy rubbish, I mean presents, and instead we bought bikes for the family. This was a very satisfactory arrangement. November is a double present-buying extravaganza with Alexis' birthday and our anniversary. By December my creative present-buying juices are severely depleted.

Alexis has started commuting to work and yesterday we went for our first proper family bike ride along the Yarra trail. The Yarra is the river upon which Melbourne was founded.

Jack is loving the baby seat and amazingly enough managed to fall asleep during the bike ride.

Here we have stage one of falling asleep

This is stage two of falling asleep leaning slightly to one side.

And finally stage three. Note that even at stage three Jack is holding fast to his chupete (dummy).
