Liv's six week birthday saw us board a plane to New Zealand. Nearly 36 hours later, we actually arrived in New Zealand. The welcoming party consisted of one very excited Nana Jude and Poppa Terry. The former, it should be noted, was mostly focused on welcoming the newest member of the family, and once the bub was handed over, turned on her heel and happy headed out the door!

The following three weeks saw us enjoying family time in Hamilton and Waihi Beach (for pictures see here)
and following this, in Modesto, California (pics here). The photos will have to do the talking!

From matching blue eyes (and bald spots) to sleeping with their mouths open, Livia is a chip off the old Chris. Incidentally, I hear this is pretty common - nature's way of assuring the men-folk that the little critter keeping them up all night is in fact their offspring.
