Mya's First Swim

Today Mya and I went out to the Waikite Valley Hot Pools with some friends from our Antenatal Group for her first swim.

It was a beautiful day, perfect for taking a dip, followed by a picnic on the grass.

Happy Birthday John

As an early celebration for John's birthday tomorrow, Family Backhouse went to the Nautilus Restaurant at Tauranga Marina for a delicious Lunch.

Mya was a little angel, sleeping through whilst we had our main course and only woke for the dessert.  I think from the photo that she's got her eyes on my Strawberry Shortcake stack rather than having her photo taken.


Happy Birthday Darling Husband! xxx

Flights Booked!

I have finally managed to sit down and book flights back to the UK for myself (Kate) and Mya.

We're flying via Dubai, spending some days with the Blakes in the sun, and arriving into the UK on Saturday 2nd March.  We'll be basing ourselves at Petersfield at my dad's house, and visiting everyone we can fit in.  Departure date is 5th April, so hope to be able to catch up with most people. 

Now it's booked, I'm getting really excited to be taking a trip back, can you believe it's been over 5 years!  Now to start really planning.

Tree Clearing

 
With fine weather this weekend, John has been out clearing the Beech Tree that we had felled a couple of weeks ago.  Hopefully this should supply us with a nice stock of wood for next winter.

More Lambs.......at last!

At last, after nearly 3 months of waiting, our second Ewe has had her baby lambs, two beautiful boys.  They're feeding well and enjoying the spring sunshine.
