Dear All,
I'm sure this blog finds you making significant strides into the summer season and it's festivities. It is hard to get ones head around the reverse of seasons, here it is looking very Autumnal which is nice.
We have had a wet week which has curtailed most outdoor activities and meant that all the baby clothes I have sorted through to wash are turning into a white-washing mountain! But that's fine as I have no drawers to put them into yet! I had a midwife's appointment inthe week- all fine. I'm due 3 weeks today but after working 4 days last week and thinking I might be early I have now decided that I will probably be late again, so don't phone us we'll phone you!!
This week has taken a month to go by as I haven't been working, which inevitably made me get v. grumpy with Gareth yesterday! I will be actively seeking out projects next week, so may have to start scanning the property papers, but perhaps I'll just start with buying a set of mdf drawers from town to paint. I'm working on the "Domestic Godess" thing but that's pretty hit and miss,having said that did make a bloody good stew( thanks JamieO) this week!
Freya is really settling in well now, and I'm loving the 'I love colouring' age stage. She had an injection in each arm the other day,and although i didn't explain this to her, as we met the nurse she said " I'm not to sure about this" (aaagghh-she was v. brave) which is just as well as she has also got to have a Hep B and Meningitis injection (meningitis more common over here) soon.
Despite Gareth deciding not to play rugby Freya and I watched him play football in the pouring rain last Saturday and Taumarunui won! This I believe is something of a revelation. Gareth had a day out of school on Tuesday to take his U14 rugby lads to a 7-a-side tournament where they finished Runners-up by 1 point. They have their first 15-a-side game this Saturday in Tokaroa which is about 1hr1/2 away.Then one of the footballers is picking him up from there and taking him to Hamilton where he is going to play football again!Sorry I don't have any entertaining photos of Gareth playing footy. Thankyou to Chris for your lovely e-mail,would you be able to send more photos as Gareth accidently lost the last ones?
Take Care Sarah, Gareth and Freya xxxx

Hi Guys
Just stealing a moment on the bank holiday to get in touch again. I was very impressed to see the size of Gareth's log pile (!!!).
It is odd the whole reverse of seasons thing, I was looking for some clothes as a present for Freya and suddenly realised that it will be your winter and got very confused!
Sounds like you are all really doing well, Sarah you must be dying to give birth by now, I remember just sitting looking at your moses basket made into a bed for about 2 weeks before Joseph was born and saying to my stomach 'well we're all ready now, you can come out any time'.
I have still got a lovely picture of Freya on my phone standing on a chair in our kitchen helping me cook- in some ways it seems like yesterday and then again it seems like a lifetime ago.
Looking forward to hearing the news that you and the baby are fine- keep us posted!
Nick says hello and is asking if you have joined skype yet?
Bye for now, lots of love
Lynnxxxx
