It has been busy busy busy around here with the lead-up to Christmas. And Liam seems to be growing before my very eyes! I've attached a selection of recent pictures...
On Saturday night we had the Payroll/Q2 Solutions Christmas Party at Sirromet Winery. The night didn't get off to a very good start, Kerrie arrived for babysitting mid-afternoon and Liam proceeded to work himself up into a right state. We weren't sure what his problem was, but then about half an hour later he did an almighty vomit all over himself, Kerrie, his play-gym and the floor... then proceeded to scream inconsolably for another hour! We were getting quite worried and I wanted to cancel our evening out but Kerrie suggested we go and see if he calmed down after we left... so we did that and apparently he was ok after about half an hour. Phew! Most babysitters would have turned on their heel and run a mile but Kerrie was such a trouper. So in a strange way, Toby having colic has worked in my favour!!!! She is an expert in crying babies. The old nerves were quite frazzled by the time we got to Sirromet so as Zane was designated driver for the evening I polished off three G&T's in quick succession (for medicinal purposes). The night was a pleasant haze after that, with lovely food interspersed with good conversation and a glass of wine that never seemed to run out.
Then on Sunday, Zane flew to China in the morning and I had lunch with Rachel A, Rachel M, Kerryn and Shellea (and Liam) - pic attached - at Aqua Linea restaurant. It was great to catch up with the girls before Christmas.
Yesterday I looked after Sophie and Toby for Kerrie while she had her study group - so nice to return the favour!!! - and today it's back to Kalinga Park for mother's group. Tonight Kyles and Kezza are coming over for dinner so there is no chance of me getting lonely while Zane is away!
It is only one week and two days until our NZ trip - I can't wait!!!!
