morning all Just a quick email to say that we are back from our wee expedition (got back yesterday afternoon) and all safe and well.  Max travelled pretty well and I’ll do an update in the next couple of days and put some pictures up as well.  Until then here;s a couple of big things:

? Max had his first night in his big bed last night!  When we got back we took him up to his room and dismantled his cot in front of him so he’d know what happened to it.  We put him to bed last night about 19:15, went back once about ten minutes later because he wouldn’t settle and that was it – he slept through until just before six this morning!!!  When he came through we told him how proud we were of him and heaped praise on him because he was all grown up We’ll see how he goes tonight……..

? Over the last few days Vic has really started to feel the baby move.  Another step along the pregnancy trail

See you soon.

Off on a driving holiday for a week so see you all later.  Have a good week

I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already!  The weekend flew past with us doing some work around the house and starting the planning of what we are going to do with the grounds of the house.  The section’s bigger than we thought and we have to decide what we want to do ourselves and what we want to pay people to do………

Vic and I have both been really tired the last week or so.  It may be partially Max’s fault as he is being really whiny and grumpy at the moment and just hard work for big parts of the day.  His two bottom molars are just breaking the gum so that may have something to do with it.

In my world the last two days of the week should be interesting.  I’m spending Thurs/Fri down at one the Army’s biggest camps doing “army stuff’ whatever that will entail!  The NZ Defence Force is a big customer of ours and they are taking some of their suppliers down for a “strategic session” Whatever, just as long as they let us shoot guns and drive armoured personnel carriers I don’t care

And then we’re of on holiday! YAY!!!!!!  A week of driving around the North Island of New Zealand visiting friends and we are looking forward to it.  It will be our first family holiday and it will be interesting to see how Max copes with the upheaval.

Speaking of Max here he is playing DJ

It’s not even nine o’clock in the evening and Vic and I are off to bed….

….. oh how one’s life changes

nite nite all ** yawn **

I’m pretty sure work will slow down one day…………….

We visited my mother the other day and out came the bubbles.

Thanks to my mother for the shot.

Max’s playgroup had a halloween dress-up morning recently (except it wasn’t called halloween because that might upset someone – sheesh!) and Max went as Bob the Builder

So cute

I’ve spent the last two days playing with and setting up my X50v If’d I’d been able to do an update from the cafe I was in at lunchtime wirelessly surfing I would have but PocketIE couldn’t handle it……..

…… must go and find a today screen plug in that will do the weather now
