A Day @ Home

On Friday we had a delightful day at home - which consisted of baking, lots of dancing and a tea party! Emma loved the tea party - which kinda turned into waterplay inside! But very cute and adorable and something we will have to do again. I love quality time with Em.

Weekend in Port Waikato

We had a gorgeous weekend in Port Waikato last weekend. All the family came - Mum, Janelle, Skip, Dale, Nell & us. We stayed at the Hopkins very cool bach - which Emma was very excited about seem it was a triangle (it's an 'A' framed house). Saturday was lovely and sunny so we all spent lots of time at the beach - Dale & Nell being a little more active getting the kayakks out. Emma had great fun splashing in the waves & building sandcastles. Last year when we came here she was fully into eating sand - I'm glad she's over that now! Sunday was a little wet and stormy which was a good thing for the area with the grass being a shade of brown. Nell & I still enjoyed a walk in the rain on the heavenly beach which is miles and miles long. And then it was back home to the reality of a night shift!.... Oh well it was a great weekend - family, food, sunshine and the beach a winning combination!

Summer, Summer, Summer

It is proving to be such a delicious Summer this year - and Emma has been having so much fun. We have been visiting the local swimming pools reguarly and Emma loves jumping in off the edge now - she often points up at the diving boards too! The above photos show some other things she is loving this Summer. Hanging out in her new playhouse (trademe purchase!) Seen above eating an icecream and not sharing with a hungry Dudley! Enjoying lots of water play in her paddling pool and her sand pit. Emma also loves checking Daddy's tomatoes and trying to eat any red ones! She also loves checking on Rosie & Martin the two very hungry caterpillars on our swan plant too. May Summer go on and on and on....
