A Beautiful Spring Day

Hello again everyone! Today is Sunday, and we woke up with sunshine...amazing! It's been a long time coming, but it was a welcome sight. We had a nice breakfast and then decided to go play. Layla went down for a nap, so Talor and I went outside and worked. We moved around our "garden," or what there is of it at the moment, and also found some worms that Talor called "snakes." We had a great time digging in the dirt, planting new potatoes, and putting stuff under the house and in the shed.

After about an hour or so doing that, Layla woke up and sat outside in her bouncer while Talor and I played with a ball. He's using his golf club better and better each time he plays with it. He'd probably be able to beat his Uncle Tom and Uncle Dan already.

After a few wagon rides around the driveway, Talor had a haircut...as dad always says, "bald is beautiful!" He didn't care for that all that much, so we had to take a "semi-naked" wagon ride across the road for a chocolate treat as a reward.

He just got out of the bath and is now watching Shark Tales while waiting for lunch and a nap. We've had a great time on this beautiuful spring Sunday!

Good morning big wide world!

Well, I thought it was about time that we joined the rest of the internet world and started a blog!
So..... hi, this will give you a little glimpse into our world and hopefully keep everyone in touch with what we've been up to. Both Jon and I will be adding to this so feel free to comment in :)

We were all woken up early with Miss Layla deciding that that 5:10am was wake up time, so with the whole house up before the sun, it was decided that a big breakfast was in order. At the moment Jon and Talor are busy making pancakes for breakfast, mmm....

Nothing else is planned for the day, the rain is here again so we will probably just stay inside. I got Talor the movie Valiant out from the library and he seems to like it, so I'm sure that will be watched a couple of times.

And just a couple more photos from the bath last night... both the kids love the water and would spend the whole day in the tub if they could.

Gotta love the new Ecobubs Wool Pocket Nappy!!!!



Last weekend we had a great trip to Waiheke with all the family to celebrate my birthday and Dad's. Thanks to Amanda (and Row) for organising and to Mum and Dad. We stayed at a batch called the Hen House and yes it did have chickens, and yes we did have fresh eggs for breakfast both mornings! Talor thought the chickens were great and I would love it if we could have chickens at our place but the council has different ideas!!! We took the car ferry across on Friday lunch time and Jon joined us on Saturday after his rugby team played their last game, which they won 39-0. The weather wasn't too bad, and we ventured out to see the local market and of course to pick up Jon. Here's a couple of photos,
The car ferry on the way over, love the hair Grumpy!
