Meet the newest members of our family!

We have been talking about it and the day has finally arrived. We now have 3 new members of our family. (names are yet to be confirmed, Ideas are welcome though) Please meet our week old lambs.

2 boys and 1 girl. (story of our lives hehe) They are gorgeous. I was surprised as I have never that I can remember held a lamb before. They were so light. They have to be bottle fed 4 times a day which is still at the novelty stage, to which I am grateful. The boys eat twice as much as the girl does, but have been to ld that they will eat until they pop!! hehe.

The kids LOVE them. I am pleased that Rakaipaka has no fear of them, he's quite intrigued actually and loves the fact that he can feed a 'baby' a bottle.

Everyone has had their time handling the little ones, Arama T sits with them for such a long time, cuddling and shepherding them. So sweet to see.

Hakarimata's again!

Yes, we did it! We climbed the Hakarimata's again. Still hard, still so rewarding!!

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more. I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.
