Things got off to a rough start when we got to Taranaki. We arrived late on the 23rd after a sweet trip down and awoke Christmas Eve morning with Ingrid having a nasty tummy bug, the poor thing spent most of the day in bed and couldn't keep anything down! Things did improve later on that night and Xmas day thankfully, she was back to normal - she thought it was a quick 24 hour bug...my guess was she drank too much the day before...
We had a great Xmas Day and had a massive feed for lunch, Nan, Ray, Rochelle, Darren, Nic, Nana and the four of us all pigged out.
The only shitter (literally) is Max's bowels - he's taken after his big sister and is going through a hideous constipation phase, we even took him to the emergency doc's while we were here because the little bugger was dropping to his knees in agony with stomach cramps. We ended up giving him two enema's which didn't relly help, a bucket of 'lactalose' and more fruit than you would see on Pononsby road! He's being stubborn and not wanting to push anything out - lets hope it comes soon!
We've got Riccardo from work looking after the house and no real plans when we're returning to Auckand - we'll play it by ear and chill for a few more days - the kids love it here!
