False Advertising

This shirt should have an explaination on the back.

Love = someone to clean my bum, someone to clothe me, bathe me and cuddle me, and two jugs of milk every 3 hours.

We have lots of love to give!

In other news, it is fall here and getting so cold mornings and nights. Recently the sunsets have been beautiful. Here is the view we had on our drive home tonight.

Pictures commemorating 8 weeks...

Chelsea is 8 weeks old today! Celebrate good times. She has grown so much in size and personality. We have grown in patience.... and gratitude for the blessing she is. I am really loving sharing my days with Chelsea. Who knew life could be so simple and sweet day in and day out just staring at and chatting with a baby?

Cruising Along

Pick's mum has left and we miss her terribly. It was so lovely to watch her interact with Chelsea and I was grateful for the good company. Chelsea has developed quite an adorable smile that she regurlarly graced her nana with b/c of all the doting she was receiving! They got along famously.

One of the last days of Cheryl's stay we went down to Mount Maunganui to watch a cruise ship sail through. It was 6 in the evening and we were surrounded by families and couples lining the shore. The cruise ship was massive and it was a sight to behold watching it cruise through our narrow channel from the bay into the open sea. Here are some pics.

P.S. Cheryl - this was Chelsea's reaction Sunday morning when she realized you were no longer here to talk and smile with her...

But we reassured her that we will call you soon on Skype and will be seeing you before too long and she cheered right up!
