My Week


I don't think i've posted in a while, so I thought I'd fill you in on what i've been up to. Of course, i've been looking after Laura 24/7 but i've managed to fit in a round of golf this week at an awesome course called Formosa. They played the New Zealand open there a few years ago, so it's a pretty good course. I didn't quite play to my usual standard, but i haven't played properly for about 2 years - Si and myself did have a lot of fun though. The above photo is of the course - you gotta love it!

So my other biggy is that I've been loaned this awesome scooter - i filled it up on Monday, and it cost me $5!!! It's still only half empty!!! So watch this space for more photos of me on my travels on the scooter. I also started a Myspace page which is all a bit modern for me!!! If you want to come and say hello I'm at www.myspace.com/paulkingsleysmith - i'm hoping at some point to put some of my songs up there; wait and see!

Anyway - off to bed now. Keep in touch.

Here I am!


Ok, for all you nagging friends and family-here is a photo of me- we took this last night after dinner so i would be at my largest size of the day! Not the best picture but it gives you an idea of how big i am at 28 weeks. The weeks are going fairly fast now-I'll be 29 tomorrow and it won't be long until we can put photos of the baby up-yey!

Our new home



I've been asked to put a few more photos up of our new house so here are just a couple i've taken tonight- enjoy!

Pauls new toy!


We have been loaned a moped by friends at St Paul's to make our transition into the suburbs of Auckland easier. This is such a blessing as now Paul can go to work and i can still get around- its mainly for when the baby arrives but Paul is loving being back on a moped again- I think he looks hysterical!

12 weeks until Kinglett is due!

































I've just realised thats there is only 12 weeks until our baby is due- how exciting and scary all at the same time!!

We are slowly making our house feel homely but it will take a while as it feels a bit empty- not surprising after moving from a tiny apartment into a 2 1/2 bed house with lots more room.

We have started to get the baby's room organised, the photos are of Paul putting together the cot- a job he did in no time and without any problems-apart from getting lost in the box!

We're in...

Well, we finally moved in to the new place at the weekend; we're now officially living in the leafy suburb of Point Chevalier - apparently it is one of the up and coming areas of Auckland which is a great thing. We have a beach within a few minutes walk, some beautiful reserves, a couple of nice coffee shops, and some lovely neighbours.

This evening we picked up a lemon tree (with lemons on!) for our patio, and we erected our Cot... very exciting indeed. We will take some photos and a video soon but want to get things a little more sorted first.

We'll get back into the blogging again and will try to keep things flowing steadily; it's been a busy few weeks with little time for sitting at the computer at home.

Love to hear from you - please leave us comments; they are always a pleasure to read!

Moving Update...

Well, we made it out of our flat and we're in limbo at the moment. The move out went well - Elliott and I loaded our Smartbox van in 2 hours which I was pretty impressed with; They will deliver it back to us on Saturday morning at the new house.

Since moving out, I've had tonsillitis which sucks a bit, but i'm on some antibiotics which seem to be doing the job. We'll try and get some pictures of the new place up on the web at the weekend. Ciao

Funny!
