Visiting

We had our first family trips this week. On Monday we all went to the first session of the “Baby and You” Parents’ Center course, then had a short trip through the Plaza in Whangaparoa – everything went very well. Then Tuesday night we headed up to Whangarei to visit my Mum & Dad (Granny…
