Kelsey has had a busy weekend!
She had her first visit to church this morning (not that she knew where she was!)...














...And yesterday, she received her first "love note" from William vanRij! I didn't think I'd be having to pull my "boyfriend speech" this early on! We might have to go and have a talk with that young fella's parents I think?!!!

Uncle Chris comes to visit!














Once I'm in I really like my baths!

2006_11_12 My First Test Match!

Listening to my first test match on the radio! In bed with Dad, Sunday morning! For the record!...All Blacks 47 vs. France 3

2006_11_11 Kiwis vs. "Not so great" Britian!

What a game!!! The Kiwis *SMASHED* the English 34-4. It was incredible to watch! Sarah, Isabella, Hugo, Hunter, Sym, Warwick, Jordan and I all went along.

McGee, a true kiwi, proudly sang our national anthem! Let's just say his singing wasn't the highlight of the night!

Thanks for organising the outing Sym!

2006_11_09 Guess Who?!!!

2006_11_04 We got our Kelsey!!!

"Now that I've had my bath...we can talk!"
After a fairly traumatic 32 hour labour, Kelsey Adelaide was born 8:28am, Saturday 4th November, weighing in at 3.54kg (7lb13oz). We are thrilled!!!














Kelsey spent a couple of nights under lights being treated for jaundice, but that has cleared up now. She's now feeding, sleeping and pooping(!) extremely well. It's nice to be home now too (Wed 8th).

Heather was incredible and is really going well. What an awesome Mum! She's had some issues with stitches popping, which has been extremely uncomfortable, to say the least, but the next couple of days should bring some improvement.

Our very real thanks to all of you who have prayed, texted, called, emailed and sent gifts over the past few days. We really have been overwhelmed by your love and support.

Special thanks to Rachael vanRij, Bekah, Chris and Myra, who all provided amazing help and encouragement during the labour/delivery! Also to our Midwife, Rachael McTavish, and the hosipital midwives (esp. Kim, Abby and Leanne).

We want to thank God too! All this has made us realise how much we can take for granted! You're awesome!

One thrilled Dad signing off!
