Charles:
Great story and beaut photos, really enjoyed it. I have two daughters who love to hunt, sadly both left home but my eldest was posted back to Darwin last year, leaving her 'ex' behind, and moved back in with us! She's away a lot, but we enjoy our time together greatly. Our youngest is at uni but is visiting on-and-off during these hols, flies in tonight from Thailand, gone again tomorrow night.

What I'm getting around to saying is: enjoy the time you have together, before you know it they grow up and move on.
Time is the enemy.

Luckily we have good memories and a very fat photo-album! Looks like you're well on the way to building yours!
