El-Rez

We have a trainee nanny at the moment called El-Rez. She helps us with school pick ups, after school activities and dinner time. Here she is baking cookies with Zach and at the pools.

Lucia 11 months!

Here Lucia is at 11 months. We were trying to get a picture of her for her birthday invite but she just kept pulling funny faces. As you can see she's still pretty bald, chubby and very loveable!

Bella and her Te Totara Buddies

This week Bella had Caitlin over after school and Abbey over in the weekend to play! Caitlin is moving back to the UK so Bella is now going to have a pen pal. Bella really enjoyed seeing her friends and didn't want them to go home.

Emergency Vehicles

We went to Waikato to Hospital to see some of the emergency vehicles. There were ambulances, fire trucks, lifeguard boats and rescue helicopters. We got to watch some fire fighters demonstrating how they get someone out of the car after an accident.

Bath time fun!

It's becoming a tight squeeze in our bath with 3 kids! Lucia just loves to play with the tap! Bella and I were trying out some selfies! Ha ha!

Grandad and Lucia

Here is Lucia and Grandad looking super cute! Lucia looks tiny in this photo but she's actually nearly 11 months. Grandad came to see her walking.

Lucia's first steps!

ARggg, my baby started walking today! I almost managed to catch her first steps on video but I think I got such a surprise that I pushed the wrong button. I was about to video her standing up and down up and down up and down and next minute she took about 5 or 6 steps towards me. How exciting! It's a little bit sad she's growing up so quick but it's great to see her reaching her milestones so easily! Here she is doing her extra cheesy grin showing how proud she is of herself!
