Better late than never!

Abby, Jo and I took the kids to Waiwera last month and scored a beautiful day.  I haven’t been in years and had so much fun.  I had forgotten how exhausting those hot pools are though!

Ethan had a wicked time, his confidence in the water was amazing, he even hit up one of the big (ish) slides.  The best part was just seeing all the kids having so much fun together, they are a great little tribe – just as their mummas were back in the day xxxx

Another couple whom we love has joined the fab baby club – KC and Greer are the proud parents of beautiful baby Chloe.  Congratulations guys she is gorgeous!

I sent a lil message out via bookface before Christmas to our American friends.  I thought Ethan might LOVE one of those elusive Zhu Zhu pet hamsters that were flying off the shelves in the states.  Well.  Some people ignored us (as they normally do) and others simply lost the plot.  Tara lost the plot.  She became obsessed with hunting hamsters, made friends with shop assistants, visited EVERY Walmart, Target and Toys R Us in coastal San Diego and eventually came face to face with her quarry.  And then she shopped.  And then she shipped.

This is the result; (click on images to enlarge)

Thank you so much Tara, you are the kindest, most remembering-est friend stateside that we have and Summer is just not the same without you!

What are we doing today? Going to have a playdate with a crazy lady who is having a baby T O M O R R O W.

That’s the crazy lady Chris, hubby Hamish and the young fella is Billy – Leon (4) was probably throwing water balloons or something boy-tastic when this photo was taken at Ethan’s party 3 weeks ago.

These guys are having their third bub and first girl tomorrow.  And crazy lady is having a playdate this afternoon with us, a set of twins and another friend and her son.

She says she needs something to take her mind of what lies ahead.  I would be frantic at this point; making lists, cooking, couriering my kids off to relatives etc.  She is as cool and calm as someone who is returning library books tomorrow.

We love you guys!  All the best for the big day and your awesome Christmas Prezzie xxxx

These guys used to be so cute and fuzzy, now a month later they are all long necks and legs.
