Our Taupo Trip - May 07

Princess Amelia and Prince Daddy


Amelia and a horse named Solider




I could look at this face forever (Sigh)

2007 - Nearly Half Way There!

Where oh where has the time gone. John and I are about to celebrate our wedding anniversary - Reward - 1 whole night together without our little one! (Thanks Aunt Tracey and Ashleigh) I might even get a sleep in!

Well this first half of the year has flown by. We are very slowly doing up our house - we have taken the laundry out of the Pantry (don't ask) and made a whole laundry downstairs off the Garage. John did all the plumbing, I did all the painting, someone did the tiling and Amelia just talked.. and talked... and tried her very 3 year old best to help. John then remade my pantry and it looks great! Feels so good to do it yourself! Next is the bathroom and the guttering!
We had a wonderful Summer - although it arrived late - we are still enjoying some lovely sunny, yet crisp days and we are nearly at June. My sister and Neice moved all the way over from the US of A and are now living just 2 mins walk up the road. This is soooo nice. Tracey had been away nearly 20 years. My brother is coming home on the 15th to live - followed by his wife and 2 boys after Christmas... so the whole family will be together for the first time in 20 years - Bar a few weddings and funerals.
John surprised me with a visit from my brother for my 35th Birthday - which was lovely... he is such a good husband and always spoils me.
Amelia is growing and growing in size and vocab. She stuns us sometimes with her understanding of the English language... sometimes it's nice... sometimes... not so nice. We have definately struggled with this 3 year old stage - I'm just about done with it.... Makes you really think hard about number 2!
She loves singing and dancing. She is into Gymnastics at the moment. One lesson a week and she sleeps for days! She goes to Kindy twice a week and loves it and has made some sweet little friends.
We have yet to find a church - we are visiting but haven't felt settled yet - hopefully soon.....

Well I am going to need to post more regularly to my one or two valued readers! I have just babbled!
Anywho - hopefully the next one is not half a year away!
