Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend, we’ve been really busy. Friday we were running around the city doing errands and on Saturday picked up our new car!!! Yay! We are all very excited. We picked it up but had to go straight home as Darwin was grumpy and needed to nap, so Mummy and Daddy eagerly waited for Darwin to wake up so we could go out for a drive. We just went over to Brooklyn, but it was fun. Daddy drove there and Mummy drove back. Mummy was quite scared of one of the tunnels, as it is very narrow and the car is a lot bigger than any other car we’ve previously drove.

Today we decided to get out of the city and make the most of the car, so we planned to go for a hike about an hour north. Unfortunately what was a glorious morning turned into a down pour plus to top it off thunder and lightening storm about five minutes after we got into the car! So with no waterproofs, that idea was out of the question. We ate our sandwiches in a car park in a strip mall and watched the rain bouncing off the car! Luckily it brightened up and we found an historic house to visit, which turned out to be lovely as they dressed up in traditional costumes and talked us through the history of the house. There were also geese and beavers, which Darwin loved!

On another note, today was the first time that Darwin stood up properly in his bed! He had previously just been on his knees with his hands holding on to the side, but this morning we went into his room and there was Darwin beaming with a very big grin, standing waiting for us!!

Here’s a picture of Darwin from the other day when I blow dried his hair!
