Daddy's gone...

Well we had the BBQ and it was great. Lilli was so well behaved considering she was passed around all night to about 25 different people! Poor little thing. She was getting sick of it all by about 7.30pm - not that I can blame her! :)

This photo is a before photo though, not an after effect. Hahaha...

Lilli, Nana, and her Great Nana Dot

Lilli & Daddy snoozing again!

I love this photo!!! One of my favourites.

On Monday, 23 March 2009, Lilli did big huge smiles at her Daddy!!! I even managed to catch one really huge one on camera! Our gorgeous baby girl is growing so fast!!!

Max, Lilli, and I headed over to Waihi beach on Wednesday night to stay at Helen and Brian's bach. We borrowed the grange from Dad so we were cruising it in style. It was great and we headed down to the beach for a lookie on Thursday morning. Unfortunately we had given the pram to Mum to take up to Auckland when she went on Monday morning after the BBQ so poor Max had to carry the carseat everywhere we went. :) We wrote Lilli's name in the sand and took some cool photos. Then we headed off to Waihi and Whangamata where we came across all the cool cars there for the beach hop. We had lunch in Whanga before heading up through the Kopu Hikuwai to Auckland. We went to the farm on Friday for the weekend and Max and I enjoyed checking out the Avocado orchard and zapping round on the quad bike, which also make a good seat for breastfeeding Lilli! We helped Mum and Willie pick some avos then on Friday night after Lilli went to bed Max and I headed out to Spookers. We had such a good time getting the living daylights scared out of us!!! It was really fantastic. Our first outing without our little monkey!! We got home late and stayed up talking and recapping our escapades at spookers so it was about 1am before we went to sleep. Fortunately (as predicted by Max) our beautiful wee girl slept until 6am so we got a fair amount of sleep. How lucky are we??!!! She really is a good girl. Keren came up on Saturday night as well and enjoyed lots of cuddles with Lilli - when she could get her off Nana that is! Hahaha.

Max giving Lilli one last bath before he left. Yesterday we took Daddy to the airport for his flight home. It was so awful. I just couldn't look when he was saying goodbye to Lilli. I was crying so hard and felt so sorry for him. It's going to be so hard for him, and for me. Fortunately Lilli is too little to notice too much though I think she will miss him. Bye Daddy.... see you soon.
