Cheers Doug!

We stayed at Nan and Doug's house while our place was being plastered. It didn't take long for Evie to take command of the house. Poor Doug got pushed out of his seat and had to sit on the toy chest!

He didn't seem to mind and they had a celebratory drink together!

This is Doug's tame bird. It sits on the windowsill in the livingroom when it wants Doug to feed it. Doug then just puts some food onto the window ledge it takes it then flies away.

Trip to Willowbank

Kenney and I just decided that we needed to get away from DIY and out of the house with Evie so we took her Willowbank for the morning.

Play Park at Fernside

This is the play park which Nan and Doug built while we were on holiday in Orkney! Evie loves to go over there to play, especially when her cousins are over. David and Liberty are on top of the hut, Moana is on the climbing steps and Ashley with her dog Briar.

Baby baas

Evie loves going out to Mike Schluter's to help him feed his baby lamb! She often goes out there with her cousin, Moana and Nan.

She was doing a very good job of feeding it herself until it got a little excited and pushed too hard on the bottle.

The "wee"!

Still one of Evie's favourite things to do is to sit on the swing (or the wee as she calls it), as long as there is a person patient or silly enough to stand there and push her! In this photo she's waiting for me to tickle her under her armpits!

Puddles

When we returned to Rangiora from Orkney we had A LOT of rain! Evie developed a great love for the puddles down our driveway. They had diminished in size somewhat by the time these photos were taken. She had great fun this day because I was busy talking to our neighbour before I realized what she was doing and she didn't have her gumboots on.
