Relaxing in the Lounge

On Tuesday afternoon we spent more time with Carolyn, Sophie and Ethan.

Sophie perfected her smile.

It was occasionally possible to get all the cousins in the one photo.

Rachel chewed on Aunty Carolyn's thumb.

While Andrew investigated how the buckle on the baby capsule worked.

Jumping Bonis's

At the park, Ethan and Sophie were jumping off the ledges in the empty paddling pools.

Sometimes Ethan didn't quite jump high enough!

Rachel had her first swing at the park.

We didn't get a photo of that though, so we've included this one instead:

At the park with the Bonis family

We spent Sunday with the Bonis family, and went to the park.

Here's Ethan on a slide.

Rachel stayed wrapped up warm in the mini-stroller, while the other three kids ran around. The only photo we got of the three of them has Andrew blending in to the big beastie.

Sophie and Ethan posed for us.

Daddy's Birthday

While we were in Chch Daddy had his birthday. We had a relaxed day. We went out for brunch and spent most of the afternoon and evening hanging out with the Sandes family. Here Daddy is blowing out his candles on his birthday cake.

With Sandes Cousins

We have just had four days in Christchurch. It was great to catch up with both the Sandes and Bonis families. Andrew had fun playing with his cousins and his Aunts and Uncles. He can say most of their names. Mummy enjoyed listening to him talk with them. We went on a big plane. This was Rachel's first trip on a plane and Andrew's first time when he had a seat of his own. Here are some photos of Andrew and Rachel with Tom and Olivia. Andrew was not very keen on having his photo taken.
