Critters

Living in an oasis in the middle of the desert, we get different kinds of critters that find their way into our villa.  We have found a few of these little guys over the past few months.  No photos of the jumping spiders yet.

A Little Story: How Times Have Changed

Last night I was totally exhausted and on my way to bed when Bruce told me he had to pop out to run a few errands. Thinking it was rediculously late I asked where he was going "at this time of night?"
He smiled and told me it was 7:45.

Party Girl

We have ourselves a party girl. She doesn't seem to want anything to do with sleep - in the daytime anyway. She will either cry and fuss when you are trying to put her down for a nap or just keep looking at you with a big smile. My favourite is when she sleeps for 10 minutes and then wakes up thinking she has had her rest. If you try and put her back to sleep she will smile, coo and talk to you like it is play time again - TURKEY. So adorable and frustrating at the same time.

On that note I have to apologize for my lack of posts. As soon as I can spend more time sitting at the computer it will be a regular post-o-rama. Also lack of pictures on this one as I am using Bruce's computer.

6 Weeks and Smiles

We have hit our 6 week mark. There have certainly been some bumps along the way but after 5 or 6 weeks you feel much much better. It certainly helps that Neva is a happy baby . We were so fortunate to have both sets of grandparents here. Gindls left a few days ago and Laughlins are here for another week. Again, so fortunate to have all of this help and Neva loves all of the love and attention she is getting

Here are some photos of the Grandparents when they went on their tour. 

The grandmas

And of course, the smiley star of the show

Passport Attempts

Sorry for the delay folks. Things have been a little hectic around here lately....as you can imagine. 

Both sets of Grandparents are here and we are having a great time. The other night all 4 of them ran out of the house giddy with excitement to go for an evening drink - too funny.

Congrats to Cat and Aaron on the birth of Julia! Happens to be on the same day as my wonderful husband's birthday - watch out for those Leo types. :)

Below is the evolution of our passport photo attempts (notice the hands in some of the photos). It took 3 attempts and the last one is hopefully the prize. 

Love to all

What makes me happy

3 weeks old today. All is going well. 

Nanny and Opa Gindl arrived a few days ago - so, so happy to have them here. I think they are finding it a bit warm. :)

Love to all.

my feet are back!

Time Flies

The days are whizzing by. Wake up, feed, try to get Neva to sleep for more than 20 minutes (hit and miss), feed, feed, eat, next thing you know it's 10pm. 

Thank you so much for all of your emails, posts, etc. They mean a lot to us.  Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to respond to them for a while. Apologies. 

Hope you are all doing well.
