Under the couch | Dancing Paddy
Katy and Sam arrived on Saturday afternoon and George wasted no time in making Sam the “go to guy” for getting his toys out from under the couch:

And now, just because I can… I give you “Dancing Paddy on a Swiss Ball” (I have maintained a level of pixelation in order to protect the innocent):

Grey days, Birthdays

It’s a bit of a grey day outside, and since Bunky developed a cold a few days ago, it’s a bit grey inside too. He’s pretty cheerful when he’s up and about, but he’s having a few problems sleeping – his own coughing tends to wake him up just as he’s drifting off. Last night...
George and one of his grandmothers
A few that I forgot about – this was just before we left Shanti’s house to head to the airport (we were heading up to Hawkes Bay that day):

The Birthday Boy!
One year old today! The little man has had a ball playing with his new toys this morning:
.
Playing with the trolley and blocks from Godparents Ross and Ang
.
Playing on the toolman’s truck (from Aunty Suki and Aunty Queenie at Daddy’s work)
.
Mummy insisted on a family photo. Yes, we’re in pyjamas.
.
Cruisin’ in his new wheels

Cabinets, Visitors, Blurry photos
The poor little fellow is still a bit sick at the moment, but when he’s awake he’s still pretty much his happy old self (well, a snottier, raspier version of himself). He’s started to crawl with purpose now, and has discovered that by plonking himself on his knees, there is a whole new world of...
A few leftover phone photos
The first was taken yesterday when Bunky came to visit me at work, and the rest are randoms from New Zealand:

Playing on the grass outside my work

A random church that we walked past (in Havelock North)

In the plane from Napier to Auckland (that’s George’s hair on the left…)

Aunty Momo and Rachel talking in the kitchen...
Cellphone photos
This year I’m trying to take more photos on my phone – the image quality is pretty crappy, but there are plenty of programs available that allow me to do a bit of creative editing on the camera (I have to confess that I have a soft spot for the fake polaroid, having owned a...
A few more random weekend shots
Bunky had a pretty rough flight last night, and I’m too knackered to pretty-ify any of these photos from the weekend (I just dragged them off my memory card). Normal service will resume soon. Oh, and I took a crapload of photos on my phone too – I quite like going through photos on there....
Early birthday drinks
Although Bunky doesn’t turn one for another nine days, we decided to have a few early birthday drinks (and cake) for him today in Auckland. The little piglet managed to scoff cake, part of a sausage roll, some rice cracker, more cake (with cream) and he washed that all down with some delicious leaves from...
