Owen’s 1st Birthday

August 25th, 2012 by chris

The weekend that we moved into the new house, our big boy turned 1! He was very spoiled with lots of birthday loot to open.

Birthday loot

Fortunately? for Owen his big sister was more than happy to help him with his presents!

Helping?

Owen loves his helicopter

Owen 'sharing' his new stuff

Angee set the competitive-birthday-cake bar pretty high again, with some Sesame Street themed cupcakes:

Wow!

Mmmm.....cookie monster cupcake.......

Somehow we managed to save some cupcakes for Owen’s party at his Porse group the next day.

We love the wee man, but are so happy not to be sharing a room with him anymore!

Landscaping

August 25th, 2012 by chris

Been very slack with updates lately, sorry!

We managed to do a bit of landscaping out the front while the house was still being built:

Basecourse down

Charlotte loved helping!

A digger came to scrape out the driveway – wish we could have used that to dig out the path and paving areas as well!

This was as close as Daddy got to driving the digger.

Lots of hard work later:

Finished paving and path outside guest room

Finished paving at entrance

Madras Street (almost) 2 years on

May 29th, 2012 by chris

Almost 2 years after the first big quake in September 2010, the road and footpaths of our end of Madras St are finally being repaired; though we are still very much in the “worse before it gets better” stage!
