Christmas at our house...

Well... that was fun!  I am however exhausted!  My family is a little nutty... maybe thats understating it... they are more than a little nutty! 
Christmas at our end consisted of a lovely brunch at my Sister's place and dinner at Mum's.
The big girl and her cousin couldn't get on this morning... Miss H was the antagonist, quite enjoying winding cousin C up.
They got on way better in the afternoon/evening, apart from when Miss H tried to hit cousin C with her foot!
My little one had bad wind all day... she hardly slept, and was pretty miserable, which added to the chaos of the day.  But now she sleeps... and so does the big girl!

Am enjoying a quiet coffee before I head to bed... ahhhh sleep!

Hope you had a lovely day!

Finally home...

I'm stuffed!   I have had about 4 1/2 hours sleep, but I am home... in NZ, ready to spend Christmas with my family! 
The plane trip was great... a little chaotic, locating bottles,  or toys to keep the Miss H(2.75) amused, changing babies clothes, battling our way to the toilet etc.,  But finally we got there... picked up our car and drove all the way to mum's, arriving at 4.15am before hitting the pillow for 4 1/2 hrs.

It is lovely seeing everyone, but especially my nephew Master J(4mths) and my niece Miss C(3).

Can't wait to hit the pillow with a vengence tonight!

Introducing myself

A mum of two girls.  A witty, smart, confident, strong willed 2 year old, who thinks she is the boss, and a sweet, innocent, dependent 10 week old who has just begun to smile...

I am writing this to both document what continues to unfold in our now chaotic life, but also to share what may or may not be helpful to you the reader.  Hopefully you will fall in love with our little family and follow our journey, and have a few laughs with us along the way!

Feel free to comment or ask questions... I am not an expert, just a parent like you, trying to figure it all out!
