The month started off a lot better than May as we were over the worst of the bugs although both Harv and I and Lulu have been on/off with tummy upsets.
This week Harv took off to Palmy and Wellington for a conference amongst his web developer peers. This was viewed with strong trepidation from me and luckily Lulu and Emily aren't of an age to contribute to the anxiety of impending abandonment. However although I wasn't sure how I would cope I know that many woman do it alone everyday and thought this was my opportunity to prove to myself I could too.
In saying all of the above, surprisingly enough, we were hardly by ourselves for a minute thanks to my wonderful extended family. Auntie Tash and Grandma kept us sane on Monday, Lulu was at daycare (second to last week) Tuesday/Wednesday and I had the lovely pleasure of Auntie Tash's company on Thursday as well. Not too mention seeing Grandpa a couple of times as well. It made the time fly and I think I actually got through the week without telling Lulu off unnecessarily and even getting some sleep.
So now we have next week to look forward too - Lulu's last day at Bright Eyes on Wednesday and Nana home on Thursday at 1:15pm!
The countdown is on to the sale of our home - we are going to put it on the market late Sept and hopefully sell before Christmas. Not sure if we will buy again right away or rent for a while - will have to wait and see with that one - with Roddie on the job I am sure house number 2 will fit us just as well as house number 1 did at the time of purchase.
So it's getting colder now and the days are a lot shorter however lots to look forward to including 5 days by myself at the end of August in Wanaka. Lots of mummy time and I'm so looking forward to it although I know I will miss my babies A LOT!
Also we have a big event on the horizon with the addition of a Harvey baby to the Kane immediate family - it will be so lovely for the girls to have a new cousin and I know Tash and Daniel are really looking forward to it as well.
The photos of Emily in the carseat are for Auntie Livi to show off the beautiful soft booties from her that Em is wearing - they are so cute and warm, and I haven't seen anything like them in NZ.
The photos of Riley and Em are just gorgeous - childhood innocence abound I am sure they will soon become fast friends.
