Bonfire Night

We had some garden rubbish to burn so Noah came up with a plan to host a bonfire night. We tried to toast marshmallows but the fire wasn't really hot enough. We were also unable to locate the fireworks we thought we had... It was a fun evening even so.

Joe our gardener

I advertised recently and half-heartedly for a person to come and weed our garden. I was so lucky to find Joe the Gardener. He came yesterday and today and has done an amazing job. The garden looks fabulous and is only going to get better over the years. We've got citrus trees, an apple tree and edible cherries. Lots of colour and rockery features now. We love it! Thanks Joe!

Noah's Trip

Last weekend Noah went on a trip with this dad, grandparents and cousins. I stayed home with Tyler. They had a fantastic time. The scenery was pretty spectacular. Noah made a snowman in the ice (see the black eyes?).

Wish baby

Tyler and his collection of Care Bears. Unfortunately Wish Bear the second wasn't looking at the camera. Wish Bear senior needs a bath according to Noah.

Twelve Weeks of Tyler

No Digging Please

Hi Nana, Grandad and Sally,

Going potty here

Noah, Tyler and I got some pot plants yesterday for our lounge. I think they are all bromeliads. Lets hope I don't kill them too soon.

Love this song

Chocoholic and Sister

Sally has a blog which so far seems to be devoted to food. Her new favourite is the Moro Gold. You can click on the title of this post to get to Sal's blog.
My favourite chocolate bar in Japan is Aero . I cannot walk past them in the supermarket. In New Zealand I always have to get some Jaffas. I just looked up Jaffas on Wikipedia and learnt that the name derives from the colour of oranges from Jaffa, Israel. You learn something new everyday!

Tyler is almost eleven weeks

Here he is just about to have a bath. That's why he's lying on a plastic mat. He's wearing one of the t-shirts that Bea sent him. His trackpants are from mum, they are so cute.

What a cute cardy!

Noah said Tyler looked like a doll. Didn't our doll Paul have a cardigan like that?

The house

Here are some pictures of the house - in family mode - as you can see it's impossible to keep tidy when I am blogging all day ...

You had a bad day .. la la la la

Does Tyler look like Daniel Powter? The singer? Click on the link to see who I mean.

Sun-less Sunday

At home with the boys. Tyler is ten weeks I think (losing track already!).
