Our musically talented girls!

Thought this was pretty cute. The girls were playing nicely and having a great time!

Jamie's First Birthday!

Jamie is now the big one year old. I can't believe how fast time flies. Jamie is busy cruising around the furniture, crawling flat out around the place and playing with her big sister. Won't be long before she's walking and chasing Holly everywhere. Holly was good at helping her sister open her birthday presents and testing them out for Jamie, just safety checking I'm sure! Thanks to all who spoilt Jamie terribly! It just so happened to be the day our Antenatal group has our playdate which I organised to be at Chipmunks (big indoor play area). The kids had a lovely time playing with their friends. After the girls came home and had a well deserved sleep, Holly and I iced Jamie's birthday cake. Nana came for tea and we all finished our tea off with a bit of cake. The girls loved eating the cake!!!! Jamie couldn't get it in her mouth fast enough. Happy Birthday Jamie! xxx

Feeding the baby lambs

Recently our antenatal group went to our friend Sarah's farm at Tokonui to feed the lambs. We went last year which Holly thought was pretty good so she was keen to go and feed the 'baby lambs' again this year. The kids all decided to get on their bikes and round up the sheep. I'm sure the sheep were thrilled! Here are a couple of photos Holly the sheep farmer. I'm very proud - she's just like her mother!
I thought I'd better attach a photo of Jamie. It's amazing to think she will be turning 1 yr old in a couple of weeks, boy has time flown.
Next blog will no doubt be photos of Jamie's first birthday! Bye for now.

Building our new house!

Hi,
Hooray the house building has finally begun. One of John's old workmates had the big job of taking down the double garage/sleepout that was in the way of the build. Once it was down the concrete slab was broken up and the foundations could begin to take shape. Boy I'll never look at foundations of houses the same. I didn't realise so much happened under the house! The foundation is now ready for the concrete slab to be poured and then John has the exciting job of putting up the steel frame. Hopefully we can tempt a few friends and workmates to help. Here's some photos of the build so far.
