D&B down under

After a mammoth journey, stopping in Dubai to recharge batteries - D&B arrived on Friday 13th!. Excellent to see them in good health and after more than a year - fantastic in fact!!! They got a good nights sleep the first night and were not jet lagged on the second day, in fact they were full of enthusiasm covering lots of activities in the first day... so we gave them swine flu - this slowed them down! William was a big hit! Tekapo and the Big Tree at Peel Forest were great days out - and we all had lots of fun at the vineyard and down at the bay! Plus D & B discovered the South Island for themselves on a real roadtrip - checking out Christchurch, the Hamner hot spring (luuurvely!), Nelson, Kaikoura and the wineries - didn't spot any whales, but chatted to several seals! Its ACE having them here!

Row Row Row Row Row..........

W has a new favourite song; Row Row Row Your Boat. He only gets as far as Row Row Row Row, but has taken to getting in anything that resembles a boat and singing it for a while whilst rocking. (I think that he gets this from N)
I heard him this afternoon and looked out to see him singing in the washing basket and thought that I had to share it with you.
The bump has started to be more active this week with more kicking and growing! I'm thinking even bets for a ten pound baby.
Names for the baby have also been a topic of conversation for the passed few weeks to the extent that most suggestions are now followed by a sigh and are pretty inconsequential.
