Starting Early

Maia is becoming such a good helper around the house... firstly bringing in the mail (it was for her anyway!!!)


and also.... washing up!!!!











She had a great time in the sink.
We have been very busy with all our adventures, and are off again to meet some kiwi's who own a winery about 3hrs from us. Will be great to meet some other expats!!! After that, we have a few more people staying in Sept and Oct, but then it will get back to normal!! We think.

We spent the last week in London and had a great time. The weather wasn't too bad so got out and saw alot. Stayed in Westminster as we did a houseswap with some friends, 10min walk to the London Eye!!!



I was kept pretty entertained on the flight with the DVD player!!!

On the train from Gatwick to London


Typical me!!

There is a great HUGE park there so once I woke up I had heaps of room to run around.


Family Pic



I made everyone laugh on the way home as I got a big tired so I grabbed my snuggie and went and lay in the middle of the floor of the boat!!!
WESTMINSTER

This was where we stayed .. I thought it was cool to have a NZ flag there. (I had my Teddy in Time out, I was telling him "Look at me"!!!)



On the balcony.


I got to meet some UK Rickett rellies... they were really nice and brought me a Teddy Bear that I now take EVERYWHERE!!! I get very very upset when I can't find him.


Feeding the birds in the park - Come on.. Take it!!!


I will MAKE you eat this!!!

I give up!! (She had just dropped it)



Me by the NZ memorial by Hyde park.
Mum and Dad weighed me while I was over there and I am now 13.2kg!!!!!!
