The best little spot and the small things

When we get a day off together and don't have plans, and especially on a sunny day, we love walking over to Paddington and have coffee and breakfast at our favourite little spot:
Tuk Tuk Street Bar! The people working there are just the friendliest and they really like dogs too.
Not to mention the fresh, healthy food, the yummy coffee and the great spot to sit and watch people go by.
Here are some snaps from last time. We thought it really deserves an own blog post.
It's the very small things that make my day, like a good coffee and sunshine and taking some time out of a busy week just to enjoy both. And to make it perfect it will have to be in good company.
David & Dalston you rock my world!
Do you have a favourite cafe to hang out?

What else is new? Dalston comes with David to work in the design office from time to time, he graduated from puppy school this week and at home we made it super cozy with a new desk and couch... and new bed for Dalston too.
We can't wait to show you our new living room as soon as we are finished. It only took us one year and 4 weeks... Well. One step at a time, I guess.

Happy Days And Nights in our hood!

The other night the super talented pet photographer and artist Julianna from Two Guineapigs spend the evening with us, snapping along these cute images, capturing Dalston at 3 months.

 We had so much fun! Thanks Julianna, you are the greatest.

HELLO 2014! You are already a little bit awesome

We started the year pretty well!
Last minute we decided to leave the city and drive down the coast to Jervis Bay for NYE and and New Years Day. Best idea ever!

Getting up super early we had a breakfast stop in Berry, such a pretty little town, we found the greatest bakery there and I had a very good feeling about this trip!

We saw the first Sunrise of the year over the ocean by the beach, had the best coffees and watched the local fireworks with a take away pizza picnic.

It really doesn't get much better than this.
We also got a deep tan on the way and spent a lot of time in the water!
Happy 2014 you all! Here is to a year full of fun, happiness and miracles.

Playtime, Birthday parties & hanging out

I am super proud of Dave he is such a good puppy Dad! And Dalston? Well he learns super quick and we are deeply in love with him.
Her just a few snaps of things we have been up to lately.
For example Gaby's birthday part, from This Little Port, Dalston meeting her baby girl Clementine and him hanging out at the beach and at home.
If you enjoy puppy photos you might want to follow Dalston's Instagram here: http://instagram.com/dalstonsdiaryDalston loves kids and all other humans!
We can't stop playing with him. He is growing so quickly...
I really have to catch up and do a few posts in a row, to keep this blog up to date!
Dave had 2 weeks off work over the holidays and while I was still working on weddings over the weekends I tried to unplug and do no email work or blogging etc for the time being...
It felt very good to have so much time together.


More to follow!

It's Christmas 2013

Christmas day was just a rainy as last year, so we celebrated indoors at Dave's parents house with a nice big brunch! Dalston was super sleepy and slept in crate almost the whole day.
As a new dog mum I got pyjamas with puppies and "must love dogs" writing: I wear them when taking Dalston out at night time. I think we didn't even take any pictures this year, we were just too bugged.  We also got a fantastic pop maker, and we are already trying out all different kinds of delicious homemade fruit juice & froyo pop's! At the end of the night Dalston fell ill, he got a stomach bug and kept us awake for the next few nights as he had to constantly go potty...
No fun for any of us. We were zombied out without sleep!
By now he is absolutely fine again.

Boxing Day was amazing, we had the most relaxed picnic with everyone at Nelsons Park.
The sun was out and it changed everything.
Just what we needed. David played soccer with strangers, Alex & Adrian climbed trees,
our little nephew chased birds and I was just hanging out getting some rest and enjoying the sun.

Christmas in Summer is def weird for me but it is very nice too! I don't think I will ever get used to it, but that's ok.

How was your Christmas? I hope you all had a relaxing and wonderful time!
