The day the world forgot - well I did anyway


Hi all. We are up the far North now. Celebrated Lyalls birthday with lots of yummy food that he just wouldn't eat any other day. Yummy goodies to block those arteries. Today we are moving into a beach front apartment so the Mcleans are doing the far north 90mile beach trip. Dad and I are veging. Anyway we are looking forward each day to seeing our boy and getting a big cuddle.

Talk again soon lets have some more blog Kara.

Lyall's birthday today and can you believe it - I have to fess up - I forgot!!!!! Unbelievable! but true!! Sitting on the balcony enjoying my morning tea and Lyall starts to sing - "Happy Birthday to me" I felt terrible! I think he has forgiven me though.

Hi Kara Dan and Mark and William. Missing you all although having a nice trip. We are staying dodgy tonight although we have booked a nice place overlooking the beach for the next two nights. Accomodation is the national money maker here in NZ it seems everyone is holidays. Lovely country though it's a pleasure to drive around. Although it's nice it doesn't beat seeing you guys, we miss you. How about another post Kara I want to see my boy walking by now.


Today we drove from our house in Russell to Manganui, still in the Bay of Islands. The picture above is of Bledisloe as in Bledisloe Cup. Was a very pretty drive up here and for dinner we had Fush and Chups at the World Famous Blue Nose Fush and Chup shop at Manganui. It was lovely indeed. Think we might have to go back.


the birthday boy after eating two pies, half a citrus syrup cake, AND an apple tart and then afterwards two coffees with a apple turnover with cream! Anyway it was his birthday so I guess he can. In the next couple of days we are thinking about going on the 90 mile beach trip. (it is really only 60 miles but they call it 90 miles - typical)

I haven't posted because I have been the sleep deprived zombie rocking mummy of a little boy with a bit of a nasty cold.
He seems to be getting better, he is sleeping a little better and he started eating again yesterday.
He has four top teeth and two bottom teeth now so I don't think that helped his mood.
Anyway when you get a phone card give me a call and I'll get around to posting eventually, I have managed to photo shop in preparation but it has been a long few days, thank goodness it was a long weekend!
Missing you, Will made you a special Easter present, Luv you both!

Mum - you the queen of remembering obscure birthdays - and this one isn't even obscure!! I am astonished! Lyall - you gave up after only eating that much food - I'm sure you could of fitted in at least one more apple turnover :-) I love looking at your blog. Love you guys. PS 3 sleeps till we go!
