Hola everybody! Our daddy turned 36 last week - on the day we lost to the French... so he wasnt a very happy man pretty much all day. He is probably very happy right now though as he is fishing up in Taupo with a few mates. He comes back tomorrow, hopefully with a big fat trout to cook up, but mum isnt holding her breath on that one...

Mummy had her first alcoholic night away from us last weekend - she hasnt got on it since July 2004 - can you believe it!!! It was a hens night and it started at French Farm for lunch, followed by Cosmopolitans all afternoon (well Mum only needed one...) and then she danced the night away at a pub in Akaroa till midnight. Not bad going really. She actually had a sore back for this entire week as she did literally dance like a maniac nonstop for over 4 hours - they all called her the 'energizer rabbit' the next day. Anyway we did miss her while she was away but daddy coped pretty well for the 24hours considering he had to take us to a birthday party too!

PS: i am choosing to walk now instead of crawl about 90% of the time now....... look out Zara!!!

PPS: my mum is also proud to say that finally, (and about 8 months overdue) i am now sleeping right through the night from 6pm - 7am Wahoo to that !!!
