Catch-Up- January Stories

I spent the better part of Sunday clearing a back log of photos and am left with a few pictures to share and stories to tell from January.

One of the really cool and remarkable things about this summer has been Will's increasing water confidence. He has always enjoyed the water in what ever form but was quite subdued in the pool. But over the course of the summer he has gone from a sit and splash, no water on my face sort kid. To a fully running around, being a crocodile, hard out splashing and being splashed mouth in the water blowing bubbles super confident wee dude. The big kids have been having cheap swimming lessons courtesy of the RNZAF and Les takes Will for a swim in the pool while the big kids have their lesson. He is really happy jumping in off the side into Les' arms and doing speed boats and other silly stuff. It's very cool!

I should really get Kieran to guest blog this but as he's a asleep right now I can't!
He got a voucher to go to the game and conned Les into taking him. Les scored a free ticket from a guy who had a spare on the bus so they only had to pay for Merenia- score!

I'm pretty sure it was Kieran's first live Chiefs game.

Pity about the final score...

Water Lillies have to be one of the COOLEST ever flowers in the world so I was absolutely stoked when I went to a bargain book place at Rosedale and pulled into the carpark to find this hidden gem! Way cool!

Will is changing so much lately I really need to do a full Will update post sometime soon.
This includes the fact that he is getting quite strong... it's looks like Kieran is a clear winner here- but it was a very close fought battle. Will fights mean. He practices thuggery- he's also extremely cute when he says "thuggery" as well!

More from the front yard as well...

Cool.
