We've been busy...

It's been a little while since we updated this but here a few photos to show what we've been up to. We spent most of last term doing the same old working thing, trying to be the best parents we can and having lots of family and friends staying. if I was really dedicated to this bloggging thing I'm sure I'd find half an hour every week to add to it, maybe I should try a bit harder this term!



We got rid of the not at all childproof water feature in the back garden and replaced it with a sandpit.


We're still deciding what we will do with the patch of dirt that is left, maybe a gravel pit, maybe a play house, maybe just grass...or perhaps a mud pit!


Littlest cousin Tripp has been down from Auckland a couple of times, the boys love him, we're not sure if it's mutual love yet as it's a bit overwhelming for the poor wee man coming down here and being put among his 4 big cousins.



My dear old friend Nikki came to stay, it was absolutely lovely and the boys adored her, Rhys said for weeks afterwards that 'Nikki gone home'.


We've also had my sister and her family here for a weekend along with our gorgeous friend Emma all the way from the Sunshine Coast (I just tried to add more photos but it's not cooperating). And a random visit from an old friend Jason with his beautiful daughter Bella.
It's been fantastic to have the space for so mnay to come down and visit, it's so easy with a big house and we love showing off this great city too. I think it might be time for us to take a trip North though so hopefully we'll get up to Wellington before Christmas.
