Little update from the old married couple

I've been very busy with uni work, so haven't had a chance to update the blog...  Well, I could have, but I hate giving half-ass updates on here.  It HAS however been a month since the blog was last updated, so here goes!

The children are all well.
We are well.
We are happy.

Really, what more could we ask for?

Life has (predictably) gone back to normal after the wedding... Which is nice, really.  The kids are

Family time at the park!

to enjoy it!  Gab continues to read up a storm - I think having Eloise around has encouraged her to read outside of school - the two of them always have a book or two on the go, which is really great to see.  I love that our children are readers.

Aidan is making great progress at school, and got a 'Positive Person' award at the end of term assembly last month... Him and Gaby are currently enjoying searching for snails and worms, and playing outside on the bike.  They have the ability to fight a lot, but when they aren't getting on each others nerves, they have an awesome little relationship going on!  Being that they are so close in age, I guess it is to be expected... and it means that Aidan can protect Gaby from all those evil teenage boys when they are a bit older.

Emersyn... my little baby.. she's almost THREE.  I don't know how time has gone so fast, because I'm sure that it was just a few months ago I was celebrating her FIRST birthday.  Emmy loves Eloise, and is constantly by her side... it's very sweet, but not doubt also a little annoying at times, for Eloise!  Emersyn loves preschool and always comes home and tells us what she's done that day.  Usually it's 'went outside'... and for awhile it was painting painting painting.

As for us???  We are already an old married couple.  But I don't think that's as much of a bad thing as it sounds... I think it means we are comfortable enough with each other that we can just be ourselves and do our own thing, and don't feel the need to have to impress the other person.  That said, all my study has been taking it out of me, and I feel awful for not being able to stay up past 10pm - and even moreso for falling asleep within minutes of going to bed.  I hope that when my exams are over, I'll be a bit more like the old Emma!

At the rugby in Palmerston North

We are looking very forward to our night in Hamilton next weekend - we get to see our boys playing, and we also get a night in a fancy hotel, courtesy of a very generous wedding gift!  We did recently have a night without children - we went to Palmerston North (as you could guess, for rugby) and the kids had a slumber party with Amy, Kallum and Ellie.  It was lovely having that time alone - and the time away from home... and I finally got to experience what Palmerston North has to offer...  We crossed another rugby stadium off our list, and got to quench our thirst for rugby.  Perfect!

Speaking of rugby, on June 22nd we are crossing another rugby stadium off our list - AND seeing the All Blacks... v France! 

I will now sign off, we have kids that need to be fed!
