What a blast! Here's the video of the birthday song and cake:

Gatsby's a happy boy

Even though I give him the odd bite or hit, my little brother seems to be pretty happy...

Gatsby's Arrival

Life has been turned upside down with the arrival of my new brother. However, I'm pretty happy that he is here, and I like to poke him in the eye whenever I get the chance.
Here are some pics:

Diggers!

Hugo is currently obsessed with diggers and any construction equipment, so he and Mandy have been doing local day trips up the street to see the progress of the earth works.

Karapoti Classic 2007!

The official race pics of Andrew:

Andrew after completing the Karapoti Classic. His first attempt at the "classic" where he did exceptionally well with a time of 4.01:29 !! He was hoping to get around 4.15 so he was thrilled!

The new deck!

Well, the deck has finally been finished, although the landscaping still needs more work. We need to get some more rocks for the pile and do a bunch of other things with the rest of the yard. But for now, here are the before and after pics, and an extra one showing the deck connecting to our bedroom.
