Happy Anniverary, Tracy

It's been 15 years since Tracy did the asphalt kiss on the motorway out to Paraparaumu... It wasn't a pleasant time for the family, but at least we got to keep her.



Awww. Memories. These days she looks much the same, after eating lasagne. Just kidding!

NZ Christmas is O for Orsome!

The following is stuck in my head. Winky wonky donkey. You know - the one with only one eye and three legs. Who likes country music, so he's a honky tonky winky wonky donkey. etc. It goes on.

I think I might be spending too much time with Sam...

Anyway, it's been quite some time since I did anything retarded enough to report on my blog (or, to be fair, anything I'm willing to share) or saw anybody else do anything retarded enough to warrant a mention. I will share the following picture though, which cracked us right up.



I'm sure they're the bushiest in town. For those of you not from NZ, it's kind of a colloquial joke. Ever remember hearing me say "sweet as"? Sort of like that. Anyway...

Sam at 2 Months

My niece! She's so cute. Especially if you like kids with warm brown hair... We take her out in public, looking like this, and people flock. FLOCK.



The outfit is incomprehensible. However, her great-grandmother made it, so even if it does look like 15 pink poodles lost their balls in the decorating, we stuffed her in it regardless.



But we prefer this baby. Oh yes.



I get lots of cuddles. It's awesome.



Connor girls. With shiny snouts and devils eyes.



Things Sam can do now:

• Smile with dimples
• Coo, fetchingly
• Unclench her fists
• Feed!

Other milestones:

• We've embiggened her nappies by one snap level
• She smiles when she sees us, not just when she's entertained
• She's got some serious curls coming in
• She's sleeping through the night
