Nana and PopPop

Nana and PopPop came to town! unfortunately we didn't do much because Atarangi had a fever, turned out it was Roseola, apparently highly contagious so it was lucky we didn't make it to coffee group on monday. Anyway, that coupled with random vomiting and sporadic diahorrhea made for a fun stay,  Poor Nana and PopPop! luckily it was only Atarangi that was ill, and she managed to remain pretty cheerful. Nana wizzed up a gorgeous dress for Atarangi and fixed some of the "to do" sewing pile that was taking over my sewing room! Pop Pop started digging under the south side of the house - in preparation for some underfloor insulation. you guys are always so busy! Thanks Mum and Dad xoxoxo

Ice cream at the park! the first couple of mouthfuls were a treat! Átarangi grabbed the cone off her Dad and munched in, then I think brainfreeze kicked in and she'd had enough!

September

what a month it has been so far. A couple of days before the end of last month Atarangi started commando crawling, so so so cute and exciting, although Puppy is not so stoked now that Atarangi can chase her around the lounge...  Fathers Day brought bacon and eggs for breakfast, My netball final, whoop whoop we won! A broken monitor meaning I slept on the floor in Atarangi's room for a week yikes and when we finally got a refund I promptly lost it... last week was a good week for losing things... We had coffee group here and all Atarangi's little friends made it. So cool to see the six of them rocking around the floor investigating everything. We finally got a high chair which has made meal times better, Atarangi still lets me spoon feed her but likes to also spoon feed herself and loves finger food. We both still have a bit of a sniffle lingering from our August sickness, very annoying but hopefully it will go away with all the awesome weather we've been having. In addition to the commando crawling there is dancing and waving :). Am sure there is much more to report but that will do for now. From here we are expecting a busy month of visits starting with Nana and PopPOp coming on sunday via Donna, Brendon and Abigail! and the following weekend Nana Shingleton is coming.
