Grandma Val comes to visit

Well what a week full of action and adventure...well every week is like that for Oliver who never seems to slow down. We had Grandma Val over to visit for the week. Oliver and Sam could put the face to the name again. Whenever we read the Thomas the Tank Engine books they always start "To Oliver, Love Grandma Val" It was also lovely to see Aunt Gloria (Val's sister) who was over from Canada. I think Oliver is going to miss all the attention.





While they were here we went to the Anzac parade at the Auckland domain. OK so it wasn't the dawn parade but we were there no less. On our way back we got arty through the pohutakawa trees.




Alex and Amanda came by and the kids all got into the cupcakes a Granny Val special.



Loving the fact that its still summer, we went to the park and made the most of it, meeting up with Sara, Kate, Jan and their little Sam. The date and cheese scones went down a treat...ah no that wasnt me be the Sally home maker, in case you were wondering!



Of course Dig Dig is getting bigger and more alert by the day. Finally shipped him out of our room, tonight is the first night in fact! I think four months in our room is long enough!!!
