Mummy has gone to Vegas with Kerrie, so the boys are having a boys weekend in.  We have been toy shopping and had lunch, and then Olly decided bed was the order of the day – so Elly and daddy are playing with Olly’s new toy 🙂

Check out this bunch – and take a look at the Japanese guy on the right – he’s got all the camera kit right there with him 🙂

23rd August 2010 – Olly finally has taken his first real steps…

OK, so he did it over the weekend, but has taken at least 15 steps so we think that this counts for being able to walk 🙂

Grandma and Granddad left this morning and looking at he flight tracker are now about 1.5 hours from landing in Manchester.   The two weeks has absolutely flown by and it feels like they did not really get any time here in the US ForkHall 🙁

Kerrie arrives on Wednesday so the fun starts again very soon.

Apparently Elliot was none too pleased this morning when he came downstairs to find not only was daddy not there, but Grandma and Granddad were gone as well 🙁

Simon’s date car has a fault front tyre – largish egg shaped thing sticking out of the sidewall = not good.  $300 USD to repair :-(.  Going to see if we can `get the manufacturer to stump up something for it – the car has only covered 3000 miles and there are not other marks on the tyre or wheel itself to suggest a collision with a curb or other.

Vicky is heading out to Vegas with Kerrie this weekend – means boys weekend coming up – a shame that the credit card is maxxed out (from Waikiki) – Vicky might just have returned to a whole heap of new toys… 🙂
