In the Morning

I am still sleeping in Maia's room at the moment as it's handy to just be right there when she wakes for feeds in the night. It was also so Deans sleep wouldn't be interuptted, even though it is with our other little monkey waking in the night lately and getting up quite early. So he gets up with Nathan in the morning and gives him his breakfast while I sleep a bit longer with Maia (I bring her into my bed after her 6.30am feed for cuddles :)
After Nathan has his breakfast etc he wonders where his Mummy and Maia are so comes to find us and has some cuddles and makes me get up!
Here he is cuddling with his sister. Check out her lips in that pic!! Those are from the Hilliard side :) There are also some pics of Maia today, we were home by ourselves while Nathan was at preschool. Hmm very quiet it was.

Maia's first trip away

Dean had a work paid snow trip on the weekend and the deal was he couldn't leave me at home with the kids by myself so had to drop me to the Mount to mum and dads, which he gladly did :) While he hit the slopes, we had a nice weekend lounging around Nanny and Poppas house.

Nathan managed a couple of trips to the beach with Poppa where he learnt how to kick the ball like Dan Carter. Poppa made sandcastles for him but quickly learnt that sandcastles are only made to be kicked over.

Maia had a few visitors also with Nanny Louie coming over from Ohope to see her, and the Flemings coming to check her out too. Other than that it was a very laid back weekend. The little princess travelled very well and slept the whole way.
