Nate's 1st birthday party

The weather was on song again for Nate's first birthday party. A small gathering spent a lovely afternoon in the back garden. Thank you all for Nathaniel's presents and good wishes

The red food dye failed Dette on the day, so it is Pink Elmo this year.

In the park

The last few days have been beautiful spring weather so we took advantage and wandered over to the park. Nate has been sick with tonsilitis but enjoyed his time out.

Exercise kick.

It is that time again to get my exercise kick going. In Jan this year I lost 5 kilos in two weeks and was consistantly running 4-5km a day. Loads of good and not so good excuses later I stopped and all that fitness disapeared.

So back to it now. I have purcashed a couple of toys to make it more fun too and work has just introduced a new fitness policy. I can go for a 30 run or to the gym on work time. So there is no excuse really. So here we go.

I have updated my pushie too. I have spent ages looking at bikes speaking to friends and shop owners and finally got sick of it all and splashed out. Cool radial disc brakes, Shimano gears and SRAM stuff (very cool im told)
