We've had a busy month settling in to our new home and exploring our new country
Theo continues to develop his domestic skills, he's probably due for a haircut soon though, don't you think?
As with last year, Theo and I made hot cross buns for Easter. They weren't that flash this year, flavour was a bit bland and they were a bit solid. Apricot jam glaze made them yummy though.
For Easter we rented a bach in Pauanui, it was a last minute decision and thankfully the flooding had subsided by the time we left on Saturday
The bach was really nice, it looked out on to the golf course. There were rabbits runnin around, which tied in nicely with the Easter theme.
We didn't get a chance to use the bbq. We did play a bit of table tennis though.
Theo loved running around on the sand dunes and particularly enjoyed picking flowers for mummy.
Theo's bedroom had a cool door which you could open half of.
Back in Hamilton, I had Tuesday off work but Theo's pre-school was open so I did the drop off and then walked down the road for brunch with Jackie. As I walked a bus with my work's advertising drove past, underneath one of our street banners, next to one of our street flags, I took a photo and the dude on the bike got a great photo bomb.
For ANZAC weekend we went to Taupo with mum and dad. Dad and I played golf at Wairakei, it was a great day. The swim in the hot pool at the end of the day was another highlight.
Before leaving Taupo we stopped in for a nice coffee
Back home for some painting...
... and gardening
Today, Theo and I went to the Waikato University community day, even though I studied there and work there we went on a campus tour which included a tour of the secret tunnel that goes underneath a couple of buildings, there was also horses, science stuff, music, theatre and other fun stuff.
Theo rode his bike all the way to the uni and most of the way home, he didn't have a nap today so went to sleep pretty easily even without his mummy
