It's been great having Bruce around for the past two weeks. We've enjoyed hanging out with the boys as well as getting a lot of bits and pieces done around the house. Dad and Paul have been fantastic and taken Connor out a lot so we could get things like painting etc done. They had him for the whole day last Thursday and Connor had a brilliant time. I think he's going to be rather disappointed once Paul is working non stop again! Just as well Dad is 'semi-retired'.

I took Byron for his five month Plunket check today and he's doing really well. He's loving his food so I need to keep on with that. You wouldn't think from looking at his cheeks that he's only in the bottom 25 percent for weight! I think he's going to be long and lean like Connor.

The garden's starting to take off with the humid damp weather, we're really pleased with the red Canna lillies
