A busy Saturday

One of the hardest things about updating this every day is finding a title.  "A busy Saturday"?  Please.  Luckily for you, I have cute photos to make up for the stupid title. Today little G had his first proper swim. I forgot to take the camera downstairs, but Emily (also from our building) too some photos for us, so I'll hopefully be able to show you some soon.  That said, I have a photo of him all dressed up in his unused togs (complete with swimming nappy underneath), and a neighbour from the other block kindly lent us her daughter's floatation pillow - so George got to sit in this life ring and just observe the happenings around the pool. He was pretty stoic (although admittedly the water was pretty warm) and happily sat there in his ring and enjoyed the sun.  Verrry cute, I must say. 

Other than that, just a few photos of George enjoying a lazy Saturday.  Tonight he heads to Kylie's place for babysitting action while we head to Dublin Jack for Kylie and Alex's going away drinks.   As a special treat, we're taking the car (Rachel won't be drinking).  How exciting.  It's weird that in New Zealand we get excited when neither of us has to drive, and in Hong Kong we get excited that we get to drive...

Morning playtime with Daddy and photoshop madness

While drinking my coffee, I took a bunch of photos of George playing on the ground this morning (and of his lordship chewing on some delicious injection-molded colourful plastic rings).  Rachel is watching some cooking show based in Tuscany, so I had a bit of time to go a little photoshop crazy (I was just experimenting with a few different photo editing methods). Sorry.  At least you can still see George under the photoshop madness: dsc_3449

I like to call this one "I have a dream...":

And this one is simply called "Munching plastic":

Tired

After the excitement of buying a car yesterday, our little family was a little knackered today.  So, a nice leisurely lunch with Team Saunders / Williams was the perfect way to spend our Sunday afternoon.  John cooked up a delicious storm in the kitchen and Kate ensured that George's first encounter with Oscar and Lucy didn't involve teeth, tongues or doggy drool.  He actually seemed pretty cool with the dogs, even when Oscar was right in his face.  I suspect George was actually wondering how he could get Oscar's entire head in his mouth (these days everything ends up in George's mouth).  I took a few photos, but only managed to edit one of them (I'm too tired to battle photoshop at the moment), but here is one of Lucy and one of George (that I actually took this afternoon at our place). dsc_3423
