The lads hit the Tongariro…

Some pics from a quick lads fishing trip with Grandad, Jack and I… This was on the Tongariro river down Turangi way. Wet and cold but any day fishing is a good day as they say!

Always a good time at the Dobbs. Jack below is getting to grips with Timothy’s compound bow. He did pretty good! The boys took him up the tree hut as well for some bug-hunting!

Welcome baby Olivia!

Last night near midnight, Sarah started having contractions. We called the midwife who told us to stay put and just let things develop…

When it got a bit heavy we trundled off to Darfield Hospital where after a fairly straight forward 2-3hr delivery Sarah gave birth to a beautiful 9lb 8 baby girl.

Her name is “Olivia Zoe Diane Stone” – but call her ‘Livvy’…

Both mother and daughter are doing fine. We’re all at home and just relaxing and getting in the swing of it.

And a closeup of her squishy podgy face!

Good timing! Grandad just happened to turn up with the bus yesterday so was roped into babysitting Jackson when we headed to hospital.

So welcome Olivia to the Stone Crew! You probably don’t realize what you’ve got yourself into but then neither do we so you’re in good company!

Jack loves Grandad!

Grandad having a great cuddle will Jackson. They’re a troublesome duo when they both get together! All hype and playing!
