Today we had a lovely day with lots of running around outside! Woo yes the weather was lovely for the first time in ages. Katy got to commune with nature.

Well Winter is nearly over now. We have had a quiet time (mostly) - Gareth’s work and MBA have been taking up a lot of his time and Abby has joined the cool Samba band that we saw at the Omana Children’s day and played a few gigs with them. Abby and Gareth have also started playing the ukulele and banjo respectively, and are part of a Uketastic music group.
Katy has been developing lovely new quirks with lots of two-word sentences “More Milk!”, “Milk Please!”, “Mummy’s Water”. She has also learned to scowl and this morning she treated mummy and daddy to a high-chair re-enactment of a common household situation:
“No! Katy!” she shouted with a scowl.
“No Katy! No Katy!”
When she had our full attention she concluded the performance by chucking her bowl of fruit on the floor.
Katy has been getting into role playing with a tea set and her own baby doll, Baby.
Tea?

Yesterday Katy went to Grandma and Grandpa’s for an idyllic day of garden frolics and family duets. Mummy went out shooting with the girls and Daddy went to a palace in Latvia.

We have all been very busy this month, preparing for Gareth’s exams and work trip to the US.
Lots of fun stuff has happened, including another trip to Rainbow’s End, where the weather was much improved. K had another ride on the merry-go-round and mum had the Silent Hill experience, riding on the roller coaster and the Power Surge all by her self.
There have been some interesting posts on other blogs recently too:
Today mummy went off adventuring in the trees so Katy and daddy had their own special day looking at aeroplanes and ducks. They also went to Cornwall Park and had an ice-cream and a frolic in the forest.
Last week we all went to the Pasifika Festival at Western Springs. K saw lots of dancing and singing, and mummy got to try Pacific chop suey and kava.
Follow the link for lots of pictures of Abby, Sarah, Bridgette, Katy and Helen at Pasifika.
"Duck! Duck! Duck!"
