Lenya and Halen make one year
Greg and I have now racked up more than ten person years of parenting, or if you prefer, five parent unit years of parenting. Twins are good for upping one in the experience stakes. Lenya and Halen turned one year old on the 1st of November. It was a quiet day, being a Wednesday. Also both the major participants were a bit under the weather with teething/a brief cold. On Sunday we are going all out with a birthday party for 30+ family and friends so fingers crossed for good weather. This time more aunts and uncles are able to attend – we will still be missing Arwen and Anthony though, they are currently somewhere in China talking to terracotta warriors.
We seem to have been a bit remiss in getting up photos recently. This is largely because of too many cameras and too many laptops. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. However I’ve got a little bit of time now so …
This is Halen at Mission Bay some weeks ago. I think he is sitting on his aunt Kat.
Here is our Hawaian Lenya in the land of nod.
One rainy weekend morning we took the three kids to the Auckland Museum. Wow, this has changed a lot since I was a kid. Mum and I would not have been able to find our way around without a map. This photo shows Halen and Lenya enjoying the excellent children’s section.
These two photos are part of a series we started back at Christmas 2003 when we visited NZ with Tycho the infant. I suggested we should send it into Monteith’s as a suggestion for an advertising campaign but for some reason the others didn’t think it would fly.
