No Pics

As Dean has the camera in Germany we have no pictures of what we've been up to here at home. Our original plan of mum coming up fell through with the poor love out of action with horrible back troubles. But we've been doing good, the kids have been very good and we've had Uncle Reid around to help out a little. He babysat both of them last Monday night and did a good job.

Yesterday we went to the Te Atatu Santa Parade with Lisa, Troy and the kids. It was a great day for it, and Nathan in his usual style was pretty non fussed with the parade and even got scared out of his wits by a big stock car revving up right in front of us. He talked about it all afternoon so even though it looks like he couldn't care less about being there he is obviously taking it all in. His preschool was in the parade and wanted parents to walk behind the float with the kids, but it was going to be too much of a mission with Maia as well so we opted to just watch. That afternoon we all had naps and then Nathan settled in with some popcorn and an ice cream to watch the Mickey Mouse Christmas movie on playhouse channel.

We're looking forward to Dean coming home. Hopefully there won't be the same drama's as he had going over and he'll arrive home on time on Thursday afternoon. YAY!!!
