Happy Birthday, little man. As usual, when we call him little man (or any term of endearment) he responds, “No! Me diddle Dendun.” So, little Edmund is now three. Which means that he’s spent two thirds of his life living in a campervan.
To him, our lifestyle is just the way life is. Lately, he’s taken to saying suddenly, “Dis our home, Mama, dis our home.” The campervan is home. It’s the only home he remembers.
Edmund recently at Coffin Bay with his new "pet" - a millipede.
At Lake Eyre (lucky kid was light enough not to sink through the salt crust).
Having a bath at an apartment in Port Augusta.
Playing with his sister, Lucy.
Trying to fish in the Murray River with his brother, Peter who's ten.
Fossicking for garnets (gemstones) at Gem Tree in the Northern Territory.
Hitching a ride in the backpack with me when we walked around Kings Canyon. Lucky kid had a sunshade, because it was hot!
Hitching a ride on his dad's bag as we walked around The Olgas.
Sometimes a little one needs a sleep - especially after another long day at Mt Hotham ski resort.
Our little man has turned three. And his favourite part about his lifestyle? Having mum, dad, brother and sisters all the time … and the animals. His current favourites are “memus” and “dangroos”.

Gosh time flys by – one minute they are little…..the next they are grown up and leaving home. Love how he fell asleep after playing!
Cheers
