Life just gets busy

Another long weekend gone, and back not screaming at me so much – I managed to paint a bed frame, go fishing and visit with my new grand baby!

Sooo Friday began early 4am as I raced to the hospital to say hello to Tyler Russell Bonnici! Who in great bonnici voice yelled the minute he joined our world! I could hear him through the wall. The tired and proud parents (Jax and Steph) soon retired to the birthing centre for a couple of days a bit further north.

It was a long day for Gran’ma Sue too with an early start.

It was all action around the building site on Saturday, with diggers, drains, boys (George too) on barrows and Lexi and I painting and feeding the troupes!

Then the visit to the new addition, after a quick shower….

First cuddle and Tyler slept right through it!

Sunday dawned a little windy, but that didn’t deter the girls planned fishing trip… although the trip was slow we settled in behind an island and Trudi Lexi and I had a great day! Lots of bites, lots of small fish, a bird or two and Trudi caught the winners for dinner!

Somewhat pinker faces and big smiles brought us back to earth and a cool drink dinner (of fresh fish) set us up for a great sleep!

Monday off (another public holiday) and the anniversary of mums passing was a bit of a lost day, and we were all ready for a short four day week!

And here we are with one day of the working week left…and my friendly beachfront neighbour sent me a picture of today’s visitors..

Not the usual motor boat or jet ski – a Maori Waka! Calling in to say hello before paddling off towards Orewa! Life is always full of surprises in our sleepy little village!
