Brotherly love

Boy cuddles
Colouring and building puzzles, while adding a little bit of music to the mix
Babyccino cookie monster
The babyccino cookie monster is coming to get you!
Gramps saved the day with his solar panels when the power was down this morning – coffee could continue!
Meet Granny and Grandpa
Granny and Grandpa got to meet little Adam for the first time today! We also had a big fun game of Old Maid together, with the Old Maid doing plenty of rounds around the table.
Eli comes to me and say, “I want to go home. I want to go home to Somerset West.” I’m pretty surprised by this, so I start asking him if something happened, or if something is wrong, but no real answers to those questions. I then say, “Are you feeling tired my boy? How about going to Gogo and Gramp’s room for a sleep?” No, he doesn’t want to do that. “You can come and cuddle and sleep on me if you want to.”
2 minutes (or possible less) later…
He woke up, had some food and was then good to go. Holiday is taking it out of him!
The dogs tea party
The last time Grace had a tea party for the dogs she had a tiny little brother. Now that tiny little brother is having the tea party with her…and there is a new tiny little brother.
The dog’s tea party involves gathering all the dog toys and spending some time communing with them
8 weeks
Adam is 8 weeks old today! He got to have a sibling free morning, as Grace and Eli joined their cousins Chloe and Robyn at a holiday club…and we got to have some time off too.
Cuddle time in one of his favourite places – the Moby wrap
Couch cuddles
It looks serene and peaceful, but the reality is that the cuddle didn’t last longer than 5 minutes. Adam was quite restless today – it may be that having his siblings around all the time is a tad bit over stimulating, and even a chill baby like him needs a bit of downtime.
Beaches & biscuit baking
Crocodiles in the water!
Bonzai!
Gogo decided to exercise her patience and bake sugar cookies with Grace and Eli
Story time and first day
Grace and Gogo are reading The BFG together, which is a story that Gogo and I remember laughing at together when she read it to Ian and I as children.

Road tripping
5 people, 5 doors, 4 tyres, 3 car seats, all our stuff with space to spare – Mazda 5 FTW
All safe in Jeffrey’s Bay, after a surprisingly successful journey. Adam was kind and slept most of the way.
