A few more of George hangin' in New Zealand
spacespacesapce More busy days for George - on Saturday he went out to Lydia and Brad's farm in South Auckland and had a lovely lunch out there with Lydia, Brad, Bump (due May), Bridget, Marcus and little Isabel. Just a few photos from there:

And then a few photos with George's Aunty Jane and Aunty Chipper:
Another day out for Big G
spacespacespace A few more photos from G's day out. Daddy is missing his editing software (and his cats) quite a lot, but only a few more days until he is reunited with Photoshoppy Goodness. In a late change to the itinerary, Rachel and George are staying on in NZ for another week to chill out, while Daddy brings home the proverbial bacon...
George with Aunty Amanda:

Hanging with Uncle Eugene in the afternoon (when Mummy and Daddy accidentally stumbled upon him in downtown Auckland and tagged along for a few wines):

And one last photo from the Stanley Bay ferry:
Photos of various people around New Zealand holding George :-)
Haven't got time to edit or organise photos, but here are a few I grabbed from the camera of little George with various new friends around New Zealand - firstly with Grandma Shanti (one on the couch and one just before bathtime), George and Aunty Jane-O, George and Aunty Kate, George and Uncle Aaron and finally a few of George with Honorary Grandma Joy:
Back in the day, I really knew how to pull off the polyester suit look
A day of play
spacespacespace George met his mates Thomas and Angus this morning, and in the afternoon hung out with Claudia, James and their respective parents. Daddy went nuts with the camera, and despite not having his editing software here in New Zealand, there are some very sweet ones of the day.
Firstly, Thomas and Angus tearing up the back yard:

And then some of Teams Pearce, Hayes and Georgeous at Chez Hayes:
Sorry George, but genetics do sometimes suck

A few photos from holiday
Holiday is passing all too quickly, but I've managed to take billions of photos in any event... The flight was fine, and we sat next to a lovely Kiwi girl Jenny and her 4 month old Isabel on the way here. George was impeccably behaved on the flight, and with the exception of a pants explosion before the flight, and a minor flipout after we landed, he was an angel. We went to his Aunty Momo's wedding on Saturday, and again he was impeccably behaved. Slept through the good bits, smiled through the photos, and passed out during dinner. A few photos from the week and from the wedding. More to come later in the week:
The Daily George takes a short break
Internet access in NZ is suckysucky, and so the updates for the next three weeks until Easter will either be sporadic (at best) or via my mobile phone. But I will be taking plenty of photos of him, and I'll upload what I can whenever I can. Rachel packed his stuff today, and I think it's cute that a 4.5kg kid has a 12kg bag of stuff. I also think that the days of sprinting to try and get to the front of customs and immigration are long gone, and I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that we'll be needing a luggage trolley for the next, oh... 15 years? Not to worry - tomorrow will be a wicked learning experience. Our taxi arrives at 4:30pm and our flight leaves at 7:15pm. Plenty of time to chill out and settle the wee man - and we get to take the stroller right up to the door of the plane (it magically meets us when the plane doors open, too).
I'll leave you with some photos of post-breakfast playtime this morning:
