Simon, Jolene, Adam, Olyvia, Samuel and I went to Butterfly Creek on New Year’s Day this year. The plan was originally to go on New Year’s Eve, but the weather wasn’t great, so we put it off – New Year’s Day itself had great weather, so it was a good choice, although we did have…
Christening Video
I finally managed to get some time to complete putting the little (four and a half minutes) video of Samuel’s Christening together. Hopefully, over the next week or so I’ll find some more time and be able to do another little one of the other bits and pieces we have recorded so far. The video…
Searching for books
I’m sure that as Christmas and my birthday approach, the question that is forefront of all of your minds is: “how can I buy Tony new books if I don’t know which ones he already has?” Well, perhaps not. But it might well be something you need to know at some point, and I have…
and in other news……
Sam’s Christening was good, everything went to plan and Sam was a perfect baby all day. Everything was just as we wanted it to be (apart from Tony being not so well then getting horribly sick later that night…) and it was lovely to have a nice day to welcome Sam properly, with all our…
Photos, photos, and more photos
After pretty regular updates for some time, there has been a bit of a break in the appearance of new Samuel photos. I was pretty sick after the Christening, then busy catching up, then couldn’t find the USB cable to get the photos off the camera, then – well, you get the idea. Finally I…
Godparents
Missing from the earlier Christening posts was mention of Samuel’s Godparents – we weren’t really sure what the rules were going to be, and didn’t have our meeting with the minister until a week before the Christening, so had to wait until then to decide what to do. It turned out that since we weren’t…
and so I'm back, from outer space…..
Well it’s been just over 2 months since wee Sammy arrived and I am only just posting this!! I have been getting used to having a little person and have neglected my website responsibilities. Sam is doing really well; last weigh-in saw him at about 5.7kgs (12 pounds 9 ounces) which was 2 weeks ago…
Christening
I think we’ve emailed or phoned everyone (or will have soon) that we can think of that might be interested in coming to Samuel’s Christening, but for the record: The Christening will be held as part of the regular church service at Pitt Street Methodist Church on Sunday the 5th of November, from 10:30am (it’ll…
Goggles
I think I’ve mentioned Goggles (and Google Maps) to most people that are likely to read this, but I finally got around to making links to local places. So, if you have a hankering to pretend you’re flying a little cartoon plane over our house, you can. Or perhaps you’d like to use Massey University‘s…
