Up early today, after staying up too late last night - trying to get some pastry for the quiche I was making made & baked. Not sure if it was making it at 1am or the 3 Bundies I'd had but whatever it was, things were not going in my favour! Anyway, got up early and made the filling for the quiche and off to Granny's house for her birthday lunch. Fortunately the quiche was delicious - and Kyla made quite possibly the best cake ever. Chocolate hazelnut and raspberry... YUM!

Back home after a couple of rounds of Articulate (it's a guess the word board game basically) and Zeke straight down for a nap... I went too, and was very surprised when I woke up at 10 minutes to 7 in the evening! Threw a bunch of things together and off to Cat & CJ's for our usual dinner, had a lovely cuddle with their friend's daughter Lillia again, but poor Kayleb wasn't feeling well and went to bed early. Zeke on the other hand loved it once L & K were in bed, he had our undivided attention AND a bath to himself!

While we were waiting for Julia to come back from church to have lunch Kyla found some bubble mix and we had a play with that... I was trying to get Zeke's feet visible behind all the bubbles settled on the carpet, but he was just moving too quickly. Still pleased with the result all the same... I'm trying to be a bit more artistic with my photos.

Hmm... Saturday. It was pretty quiet all round really, we were all tired out from the beach. I went food shopping and cleaned up some... that was about it, otherwise we bummed around the house! Zeke seemed extra cranky though, I'm not sure what that was about, he was fine today (Sunday.)

Now I'm just waiting for the upload to finish so I can include the photo!

Just a sweet pic of Ryan & Zeke having a snuggle and doing one of Zeke's favourite things - drawing! Other than that, I took a couple of pics of the kitten asleep on my lap... really nothing that major!

A slow morning, I tried to get some tidying done, but Zeke had other ideas and undid everything I managed to do. Cherie & her friend Nat came round and we had some more wedding talks later on... it's really coming together now! So much going on! In the evening we went with Grandave, Noni, Erin and Corrie to have dinner at Mornington, Zeke was exhausted and sandy by the time we returned - signs he had fun! He LOVED the water, even though he got cold, and he was sad when it was time to get out. We also tried to show him how to build sandcastles, but he had more fun just tipping the sand. By the time he was done, he'd buried his feet, got a bit freaked out about it too, needed to be lifted out.

He also ate a truly epic amount on Friday. 3 weetbix with milk for breakfast, a whole (2 slices of bread, crusts and all) peanut butter sandwich, and goodness knows how many chips at dinner, along with bits of my souvlaki, some battered hotdog, and I think a few bits of people's fish! Turns out he likes tartare sauce too!

Anyway, onto the photo!

Zeke, his Daddy and Grandave playing in the shallows. Grandave was picking Zeke up and swinging him so his feet skimmed the water and he made a big splash, he loved it! I love the timing on this photo, it looks like Zeke is running on the water!

Really didn't get up to much yesterday, just a quiet day around the house. We took Zeke for a walk in his tricycle around lunchtime, but that's about all. We're supposed to be going out for dinner with Grandave, Noni (that's pronounced Nonny, as opposed to my Noni) and some of Zeke's aunties tonight, so that should be good!

Zeke was being cute yesterday, so naturally I had the camera out for a bit and he was VERY interested in what I was doing. I showed him how to press the shutter button while I held the camera, and let him take a few photos. He would move it around watching the screen and press the button at random. (I was still holding it properly the whole time mind you - not going to let the camera just be in his hands!) This is one of the photos he took, it's pretty out of focus, but I love his toes!

Ahhhh bliss, a comfortable temperature yesterday! Zeke had a looooong nap too, which gave me the time to have a decent shower and wash my hair properly - felt so much better! We had dinner at Julia's house, her niece from overseas was visiting last night, it was lovely to meet some more of the extended family!

I handed my camera over to Julia for most of the evening as hers was flat and she wanted to take some photos of dinner, but I snapped this one of Zeke while we were playing. He is beginning to look like such a little boy. Not a baby anymore! It's all happening too quickly!

Nothing special to go on about yesterday. We were grateful for the cool change though I can tell you what!

Another photo I love. Captures Zeke's affectionate and daddy-worshipping personality. They were both sitting up on the couch watching TV, when Zeke pushed Ryan over to lay down, and climbed up on him like that. Zeke's also holding onto Ryan's hand... awwww!

It was hot yesterday, 41.4 C (106F) so there weren't many photos taken, we were all too busy sprawled out melting. Instead, I took a photo of something to show you all.

Zeke painted this just before Easter 2009, but it was a long while (almost 6 months) before we hung it up where he could see it. The first time he saw it again and every time since, he says "Oof" which is Zeke-speak for dog. No matter how often we ask him what it is, or how long between questions, his unvarying answer is "Oof!"
