Great Uncle Pete's 50th - or a Plunket Mums' meeting?

Yesterday Great Uncle Pete had his 50th and we gathered here to celebrate .....

• Steve and Elena with Dimitri
• Neil and Megan with Darius
• 2nd cuzzies Jo and Mike with their young 'uns Isobella and Alexandria (3rd cousins??)
  
• 2nd cuzzie Andy and friend Erin
• Great Aunt Judy and Roger
• As well we had Lorna and Gordon, great-great Uncle and great-great Aunt
  

(All relationships from the Dimitri and Darius perspective. Hmmmm great-great uncle - is that right?? - I don't know!)

Very confusing, and no wonder Grankie retired to the patio with the gin and tonic and a discussion about motorcycling with Roger!

Dimitri meets Andy.

Darius comes to visit....

and he brought his Mum and Dad as well!

Yesterday he was 1 month old. We also have visiting for the weekend Rosemary's aunt and uncle, Lorna and Gordon.

Here's a picture of them with Darius, and Rosemary.

Darius enjoying a bath!

Not to be outdone, Darius enjoys a bath. Must get some more pix from Neil and Megan as well - this one is pinched off one of Neil's on-line albums.

Dimitri is a month old today!

This is one of the more recent photos from Steve and Elena... I really like this one. I must get some more! He's a cool, laid back looking little dude!

Coming up two weeks on....

Friday 1 February 2008, evening NZT

We had lunch with Dimitri (and Steve, Elena and Tatyana) today. It was a stinker of a day - hot as... - but all is well there and apart from some exercise of the vocal chords, and some wind, everything is good, and Steve and Elena are starting to look a little more rested. Must be getting used to the up/down/nights.

I got a little hold of Dimitri before he protested, and soon afterward he emptied out, so I was saved by the bell....

Paid a short visit afterward with Darius (and Megan and Neil) - all good there.

I think Neil may be wanting to go back to work for a rest, soon - his two weeks off work finishes this weekend.

Today I pinched these two pictures from Neil's or Megan's Facebook sites - one from in the hospital of Murray - Megan's Dad holding Darius, the other, a picture of Blair holding Darius when he was here last weekend.

Day after the birth - Murray, the 'other' new Grand-Dad!
