Ryan, Jaffa and the Marble Run

Ahhhh the joy of laughter, Ryan was in hysterics when Jaffa joined in playing with him, swiping the marbles. As soon as we drop Caitlin at preschool all he wants to do is come home and play with Jaffa, I guess it's nice for him to have her all to himself and not compete for attention / playtime. So a few pics of them together.

Movember update

All going well so far.






Just hoping for a bit more thickness, although a Tom Selleck seems to be out of my league this year.

Kids not sure of the Mo - Caitlin doesn't like it and Ryan says its prickly !

One day they will understand ...

Our Newest Adition

Well after a long wait for events to come and go, we have finally settled down enough to add a little kitten to our family. Jaffa is 6 weeks old and joined us over the weekend. She is very well suited to being in a family with kids, phewww! And so relaxed she even fell asleep on the journey home! Caitlin and Ryan are both in her face and don't give her much peace but funnily enough if they are off doing their own things Jaffa will follow to be with them.

Jaffa is similar colours to Tuppy which is kind of nice, with a little more black and white and a little less sable.

Anyway a few pictures of her ............

Movember

Welcome to Movember !

Gary here, posting for the first time. This month has now officially been renamed Movember, a whole month dedicated to getting men to look after themselves and take a bit more care with their health.

The idea is to grow a mo for the whole month, use it as a talking point with your mates (or, in my case, customers as well) and raise awareness of some of the important health issues affecting men. For more information and the opportunity to take part go to http://www.movember.com/ .

The main health issues being publicised are prostate cancer and male depression. If you are a man over 50 talk to your doctor about getting your prostate checked - it could save your life.

For men of all ages depression is a major issue that affects something like 1 in 5 of us. If you think you may be experiencing depression PLEASE talk to someone about it - wife, girlfriend, mates, doctor,boyfriend - doesn't matter who, just talk. For some inspiration check out this link http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10412742

I'm having a go a growin' a Mo - and I'll post a photo for you all to laugh at very soon...
