10, 6, 2...Phew

Dear all,

Gareth has just completed another 10 week term, which is no mean feat, it being winter and having 6 weeks of broken sleep.He has also past the first assessment of his Maori course, and completed his N.Z level 2 Rugby Coaching qualification. Needless to say he his looking forward to 2 weeks off!!!

I can't believe Merryn is already 6 weeks old. She has just started to Smile, is more alert in her awake times and is doing 7 hr sleeps at night.

I am walking with my friend Jodie several times a week, which is helping me get fitter.we are also combining our skills to run " Monkey Movement" a dance and Gymnastics course for 3-6 yr olds, will let you know how that goes!

Freya is growing and soaking up info. from her pre-school teachers like a sponge, in fact it's like living with the " manners police" at the moment!! I'm sure when she is a teenager things will be different!

Thankyou to everyone who has sent Baby cards and Pressies.

Lots of Love,

Sarah, Gareth , Freya and Merryn xxx

Queens Birthday 2007

Hello All

3 weeks old and still an angel Merryn is sleeping and feeding well and is great. Sarah is back running and back in her "normal" trousers. We have hadquite afew visitors and Lucy came down from Auckland last weekend which was great. Gareth went to a Dads night at Freya's pre school with Freya. The children sang songs and showed off their work and then there was a sausage sizzle. Gareth also went down to the pre school saturday with a few other Dads to help put in the new play area and softfall covering. It s a bank holiday this weekend (the Queens Birthday) so we have been to Taupo for the day. Sarah went shopping with Merryn while Freya and me went swimming at a great pool with slides and a tarzan swing and an outdoors bit it was good fun. Today freya is at a birthday party and before i forget Wales beat Fiji in the sevens so im a happy man.
