Changes

The pictures are:

• Norose with the babies(picture taken by Caroline today)
• The two on the playmat.

It is a week of changes and, of course progress. Just wish this heatwave would cease - the grass is beginning to go yellow from the heat. The early mornings and evenings are wonderful though.

The changes are all about Fiona going back to work in her new position of being the MDs PA. The day at work went well. Luckily Caroline had the day off as Norose only arrived at 09:00 as she caught the wrong bus. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit smoother.

Both twins are starting to experiment with lots of strange noises, and they are learning to wriggle off the mat - so often we find a little one lying on the floor in the lounge. Emma has also learnt to start vaguely climbing up the arms of the play mat.

Daniel seems particulary taken with the TV, especially when there is music on. He watched a great deal of Channel 89 this weekend with Prime Circle and Karen Zoid in concert. Great stuff! We are then entertained with some interesting "singing." He also watched the Sharks defeat the Canterbury Crusaders after the final whistle to remain the only unbeaten team in the Super 14. What a boy!

Emma loves "flying." She loves going upside down and then up into the sky and then going down at a rapid rate. Obviously all in Dad's hands. She has developed a wonderful little laugh which makes the sore arms all worth it. Daniel is already too heavy to do much "flying" - although when he does, he also laughs out loud.

We bought a bread maker this weekend so now the house smells of baking bread. Very nice.

Other news is that I passed my exams - so it is another qualification in the bag.
