Life, as we know it.

Saterday marked Six Months living in New Zealand.

^____^ Last night, for the first time since we left LA, I talked to my Dad on the phone. (And my step-mom, sorta. she wasn't feeling well, would wake up every 10 minutes or so and remind Dad to tell me that she loved me. #^^# Happy Early Mum's Day, Gigi!)
-Dad, the next time you stop by to read, feel free to comment. Anonymous posting is enabled, just please remember to sign your name so I know it's you. -Besides the snarky comments.

Got photos from the family last week. *wiggles happily* Have pics of everyone from Christmas time. *hearts* When the hell did my youngest brother get so TALL?!

Also! I'm an Auntie! (again) My best friend Sirah just gave birth Sunday night!!! (right after she talked to us on chat saying she had another two weeks to go.) It's a boy (they were expecting a girl *giggles*) and we're still waiting on more details!!!
CONGRATS SIRAH AND JERMEL!! ((SNUGGLES))

... it also looks like we're going for Residency, to stay in NZ. Wish us luck. ^^;;

Also found out today that paper outside of the US is measured in 'GSM' (Grams per Square Metre) instead of by the weight in pounds of a ream of paper (ream = 500 sheets of paper).
... feel rather stupid for not considering it, but this means that I now have yet another measurement system to learn. ^^;;

Fates willing... we still don't know where we're gonna be in 6 months, but I'd like to stay/come back to NZ.
the longer I stay here, the less I wanna come back to the States. #^^#

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A GRANDMOTHER?!

[ysabet.livejournal.com]

Gotta start somewhere... and I *think* you can use that for 'auntie' too, can't you? ^__^

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Short 'a' is 'auntie'. Long 'a' is grandmother. ^^;
I had to check for teasing Morgan.

When I last saw them, they still had yet to settle on middle names...They've got the first name picked, though...Kenneth.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Kenneth. Very cool.
Are they going for 'Ken' as a nickname?

[darth-beryl.livejournal.com]

That's what Jermel called him at the end of his last post...

[faerydragonet.livejournal.com]

Sarah and Jermel are doing well. They have one of the middle name picked which is Elijah, now they are trying for the second middle name. Baby and mum are staying in the hospital for the rest of the week. They have registry at Target.com and Babyrus.com. Most of the stuffs on the list have been taken care of. They can stand to have more blankets,clothes, beanies, socks and booties. Sarah is having a touch of postpartum, but it was a rough fourteen hours for her.

Woot! Thanks for the info!
Think I'll send them a lamby from NZ. ^___^ I get paid tomorrow, which means I'll have the money to do so ^^;;

She got a c-section? Whoa.

[mel-redcap.livejournal.com]

*pounce* Woo-hoo! You're staying close! YAY!!!

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Fates willing, Yup! ((Snuggles Mel))
