Oscar's growing up!

We're all bumbling along nicely here, although the weather has been keeping us indoors over the last week. The boys have generally been pretty good about it, but 'cabin fever' has struck on more than one occasion. I had snow up at work last week; that was a little bit of a shock I have to admit, particularly in April!

Today after I got home from work I was sitting on the floor playing with the boys and their little toy saxophone, when Oscar decided to simply stand up and stay standing. Jo came over after he had fallen down the first time to have a look and he obligingly stood up again a number of times. Each time he stood for about 5 seconds with his hands stretched out to the sides and only fell over when we started making a fuss. It's one of those 'parent' moments I suppose.

Well, we now have the technology and the ability to do this blog thing, so decided it will be the most effective way of keeping in touch with people around the world and letting you all see how we are getting along.

This photo of us from December is the most recent of the four of us, so will have to do for the purposes of here.

Most of you that know us will know that have moved to East Otago, down the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand, and that Andrew is back in the mining thing after a few years away. What you may not know is that we have purchased some land and a house. Conveniently it is the place we are living in at the moment, so no need for another massive move like when we came down from Christchurch.

We will endeavour to update this as much as possible, but all of you with little people in your families will no doubt appreciate the constraints on time these little creatures create.

Hi everybody, well, this is just to let you know that we are going to start one of these blog things. Although you'll have to come back for anything interesting.
