Our new baby boy

Announcing the newest part of our family. Barwon Isaiah Reeves. Born 18th June at 1am. He's a nice big healthy baby boy weighing 10.2lbs. Mother, Father and baby are all doing fantastic!!


Barwon means River and is an indigenous name to symbolize our respect and concern for the indigenous people of this land…that their identity, language and culture remain with us. River, symbolizing a reconnection to land and creation. A connection we as people have severed for profit, at the loss to us and our future children. The name Barwon for us represents the hope of new life for this earth and those of us who share it together.


Isaiah, well he’s a kick arse Old Testament prophet whose words still ring truth today! Together we have our little river prophet and Kaylene and I are truly blessed to be given this responsibility to care for and love this little (or should I say big) one!


Can't wait for him to meet you all.
Lots of love - the three of us!

Climate of Change

After the horrendous extreme weather of late, especially the fatal heat wave on saturday it has come home to us that climate change will begin to threaten our existance. I found this utube clip today that looks at what is happening to Bangladesh who like us are coping fatal extreme weather create by us - the weather makers. It is interesting to see what is happening around the world, particularly as now Victorians are well and truly welcomed into what will only become more frequent abnormal weather patterns.

For more information - please read climate code red! by David Spratt and Phillip Sutton. I'll post down some stuff from this reading sometime soon - I'm blown away by what is happening and what we now need to do!

Peace
