Well, well, Wellington

Two posts posted at once - excitement! Make sure you check out the previous one of our time in Auckland...

Granny Ro came to stay and was kept busy with Mr Frank's antics, as well as visits from Kate, Amanda and Finn, Sarah, Iris and Phoebe.

Frank had his last day at his current Day Care and starts two days a week right beside Dougal's work from this Thursday. We'll be able to spy on him from the library if we really want to...

The Bump 2 is now 26 weeks (so pretty much six months) and is kicking away happily, especially when there's rugby on (just like Frank did). S/he should be here in time for the World Cup final!

Happy Birthday for Wednesday, 20 June to both Iris (who turns 2) and Juanita. Hope you both have a wonderful day.

Maungawhai

Well, it's already a couple of weeks since we visited G'Marg and Pappy in Auckland for the last time. They move to Wellington in just over a week!

It was a chance to catch up with Great Grandma Nance, Great Uncle Alan and Great Aunty Caroline, Mary, Fiona, Alex, as well as to check out Mike and Tanny's cool new pad.

We spent a day at the zoo (although Frank was way more interested in his sandwiches than most of the animals - the sea lions got a cheer, the lions got a roar, the monkeys sent him running off so fast that he fell over and hurt his knee). The Auckland Zoo really is brilliant, we have to say.

Libby and Dougal even got a night away, up in Maungawhai. Believe it or not, Dougal went for a swim. In June. The man's mad!
