Tauranga (Whistle Stop) Tour
A cute triptych of The Frankstar, I say. N.B. He keeps adding "I say" to the end of every sentence - not sure where that comes from!
But Arf spends all his time yelling, "AWAY!"
Still trying to get a decent photo of all four of us and this was Frank's idea. "Right everyone, we need a family photo outside, I say."
"Cheese, please."
Another attempt.
Another nose for his collection.
We've just had a few days in Tauranga madly racing around trying to catch up with people. It was so warm! Nice to go back - although we'll all be recovering from the car journey for the next week (especially Granny Ro). We are not going ANY WHERE in the car until the boys are at least eight and nine (please tell us it gets easier!). 
"Surfing" at Omanu.
The sand wasn't exactly hot but it's a much better way of getting down to the water.
Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute.
So they actually did eat something in amongst all the excitement - that's a relief.
Mia.
The obligatory walk around The Mount.
Great Aunty Glenis gets in a squeeze.
Hanging out with Oscar.
Julia's smiling!!!
Ro marvels at Julia.

Anyway, we caught up with 'Grandad MacBill' and Georgie who had all sorts of exciting things to show the boys in the garden, including chrysalisisssssss. Very fascinating for the wee men who call me (Libby) their "Beautiful Butterfly." Ohhhhhh...
Another highlight of the trip was going to Oscar's 4th birthday party and meeting his brand new sister, Julia. We're so stoked for you, Rach and Phil. She is amazing.
A BBQ with the Nijssen's, Roses, Stu and Bo was great too. Thanks for all the food and help - we weren't exactly organised. Talk about cute kids.
Libby also got an all-too-brief visit in with Toe-knee and Mia. We saw Glenis for about two seconds, and L and Pee for about three. We'll need to make it a month next time, eh?

What a busy time and such gorgeous kids to catch up with - another fun time though rather rushed. Pappy and Ro have both had a turn going on a road trip with Frank star and Arfa - must be my turn next! Yes it does get better but never easy! Save for a plane trip I say.
Glad you had such warm weather, not like ...oh well its WWW here- wild wellington weather, still. Lots of love xxx
They are growing into really handsome boys and no one could dispute them being brothers!
Despite the few comments it is really good to see how you all are, so please keep on.
Oh my goodness, how fast they grow! Look at Frankie! That hair! Goodness gracious, I say.
