Four Fab Years

We now have a big four year old in the house! Properly pre-school since this year marks the year Kazuo will start school. He is so proud of being four and being so big. We have had a delightful four years so far with our wee guy and we are so glad to celebrate his […]

Construction Zone

Another catch up from me…a couple of weeks ago our lounge was taken over by tiny construction workers. Kazuo has been fixated by all things building and constructing for some months now, and when it came to celebrating three years of his little life (yes, three!

Made by Joel, the Paper City et al…

But Kazuo was still a little small for most of his clever innovations. Then, over […]

At the end of last week I got a little older. It was a quiet sort of day, spent moseying around the library in the morning, chatting to my mother and sister in NZ online in the afternoon and then going out for a coffee with Kazuo. Unfortunately, he slept through the early dinner time […]
