The group turns One

Our antenatal class meets about 1x a week - usually just the mothers and babies. We've met some good friends through this group, and it's reasurring to talk to other parents going through the same stages and things that we are. Luca is one of the youngest of the group as he was born on the 28th of Dec. A few weekends ago the coffee group got together for a big joint 1st Bday BBQ party. It was great because all the Dad's came along as well. Awesome food and heaps of toys to keep the kids entertained.
Including lots of ride on toys!

Aren't these flowers gorgeous?! I got them from the wholesale flower auction which takes place at 6am in the morning. I'm getting ready to start taking some more floristy classes shortly.


We took Luca to have his photo taken with Santa at the mall, but they refused to let us take our own digital photo (even though we were willing to pay the $10 sitting fee). So we refused to do it - yeah, we are scrooges aren't we? But the whole reason we wanted the photo was so we could email it to friends/family. We used their props to take our own photo instead...ha ha. We'll sit on Santas lap next year or find another one in town this year.
Like the tree? I had this erected in our town square - my budget, my idea....and it's caused a bit of controversy in the city of Palmerston North....but mainly only from the newspapers who have nothing else to report. The media will quiet down and it will become old news after a while. I think it's fantastic - as do many members of the public.

Luca's first smoothie, and taste of cow's milk. Nice mustache.
