i will be a 7s widow this weekend too, shame as I went the last couple of years and it was the best, but I think Fay may be abit young to apreciate lukewarm Tui beer. so I am around Fri and Sat, based in Central Wellington, but can travel.
Nice to to put faces to names on here ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

I'd love to come along too
Petone would be good. Caffiend sounds great! Friday might be better for us all to catch up (leaves the weekend for family time), unless anyone else has other suggestions? |

Yep Friday is good for me. It sounds like we are going to have a nice gathering of bubs Yeah caffiend is great, been there a few times as it is just down the road from my work. parking isnt too bad either as there is a car park close by. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Which way are you going? Via Palmy Nth (Desert Rd way) or via Napier (Napier-Taupo Rd way). If you are going via Palmy, we are kinda out of your way - its about 45 minutes to Dannevirke. Just sent you a pm but we are coming to Auckland at the end of Feb so maybe could catch up then instead - save you going so far out of your way on a long trip... ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Roksana, if you are coming down SH1 through the Desert Road, you will only be 20 minutes from my place when you pass through Waiouru! If you want to break up your trip, feel free to call in here The kids and I are going to Nat's school to have lunch with him and the rest of the staff at 12:20, but we'll be home all morning and the rest of the afternoon after about 1:30pm. Of course, if you decide to come over I can be home sooner ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

It may be easier to skip it this time... I actually work on Thursday and was just going to leave early, but now it turns out we also have a funeral tomorrow, so will be out of work for that as well. Was really looking forward to meeting you guys, but we are coming up from the 24 Feb until 4 March so heaps of time to meet up then ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Did Mercedes have the conversation with you about why Fay didn't have a penis? Strange the thoughts little ones have about things, she thought all babies had one and couldn't understand why Fay hadn't.
It was great meeting them too, you have gorgeous children Kels ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

It was amazing to meet you all...honestly...the best tome I had in Wellington!! Becca - Thanks for having us, Kiya is just a gem. Zaara loves her bean bag frog and I love my necklace. She is soooo sweet! Josiah (Gosh did I get his name wrong)...is just too cute! I love him in his glasses. Xavier (so glad he woke up when he did) is just too handsome! I love the pics I tool. Will post soon. Thanks for that great mug of coffee. Sorry could not stop on my back back...we just wanted to get home and Zaara was sleeping!! I promise I will stop over again next trip! Ana....you are as beautiful in person as you are in your pics! Joey is just too handsome (tho you could tell that he was not 100%). Kelly - I recognised you because I saw Alize. He is just gorgy! Zaara Loved him too bits. And your girls are just beautiful!! Kirsten - I couldnt stop looking at Ashlee, she is soooo smiley and beautiful! I am so glad to have meet you!! Claire - Fay was just sooo precious and tiny!!! I was just to scared to hold her!! But wanted to give her a bear hug at the same time!! She is just beautiful.

Moving at the end of the month.

Glad we managed to get together, as Ana said I feel like I know you all already. Fay enjoyed herself, I think she slept for a couple of hours when I got home anyway, gave me chance to cook a proper dinner anyway, first time in 2 months. Love to see photos when you are ready Roksana glad you enjoyed your trip, what did your husband think of the 7s, Neil is still telling me stories about what went on on the terraces, he doesn't seem to remember much about the games ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Fay is a little darling! Glad she had a good time. next year she most probably will be running around huh? hope you are not moving like Ana.....
Yes well I have pics of what they were upto....may I add I was not too impress with some. Hubby was taking all the pics so I wonder what he was upto behind the camera...he he ha ha. He enjoyed him self tooo much (I think). Till next year..... Ana.......  ...but I suppose now I have a good excuse to come and see Blenheim! how far is Blenheim from Nelson...not far huh? Mikey and Joey can be good buddies now!------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Hey chicks, I'm writing an article for the site about the Wellington and Palmy groups who regularly meet up -- can you PM me and tell me a bit more about the meetups? Ideally I'd love to know who started them, when the first one was, who was there, and all that jazz. I wish I could have been there too! Hoping to hear from you very soon... :) Katherine |
