Winter is here

Well, our trip to ChCh for Nana's birthday has been and gone. It was so nice to catch up with family and wish Nana a happy birthday.

While we were away, Dad taught Riley how to use the computer mouse and now we have our very own computer geek...oops mean whizz! He loves to play games and read books on the computer.

Both kids were sick last week. Riley tends to take illness in his stride so it is a bit of a shock to see Jemma so grizzly. She has been coughing for 3 weeks and I am no longer convinced she is sick but instead, (for a long boring list of reasons), I believe she is lactose intolerant. So we are now dairy free as of today. We hope this helps Jemma to sleep a bit better because Mum and Dad are very grumpy people now that it has been 3 weeks of continuous bad nights of hours at a time..... feel free to send sympathy vibes :-)

We feel that we have had enough dramas with our children and we would like to settle into having nothing new crop up and our children to be perfect angels for awhile until the next 'phase'.

Jemma is modelling her new 'longies' that Mum knitted and they are nice and warm for winter days, even if Dad laughs at them! Riley isn't modelling his new jersey from Great Aunty Jane cos it is a little big but next year.... watch out!!
