BYe and hello

How lovely to see so many relatives back in UK too!!! Uncle Andrew such a fab daddy and uncle always so good with our boys has entertained Zac well and truley today. Also, we saw granny Smith (who has spent a week at the Harrisons) and that was special too.

Ok an important picture...Zac Smith, Jonathan Smith (daddy), Eileen Smith (granny Smith), Helen Smith (aunty- Daddy;s sister) and Anna Harrison. Wow three generations of Smiths! Special moment at lunch time.

Ana and Peter had been so good following Zac's blog and now here guys this is for you! Thanks for wanting to come and see your cousins...and even they are so much younger thanks for taking such a huge great interest in them and keeping the family fire burning...:))

Very happy COUSINS!:))

Ah big scare on the plane...Zac was rather unwell but smiling...he started getting really red and had a bad dihoreah we thought he might have an outbreak of chicken pox but thanks God the dr confirmed next day all well probably had a viral infection...and agravated by air condition in the plane...:) So to report this week we also have one bottom tooth!! YAY so many more to come!:)

Bye bye Romania

Time has come to say bye bye to Romania!- its been lovely to catch up with the cousins and see relations and enjoy the weather and the colourfull autumn with yummy grapes, apples and wallnuts...ah....shame we have to go but we do look forward to see our ralations there and friends and off course DADDY!
Last day we went to the local nursery to have the boys tired out for nap so I can pack. It was out second time and boys loved it but soon got the idea we needed to pack so we were back at the house...after a long roundaround trip so that mummy can say bye to the streets and houses and people here.

This week we did enjoy seeing a bit more of Betti and Harry Zac and Reuben's first cousins. Betti was a really good babysitter for Zacky while R was entertained by Harry....great mischiefs!

The cousins Betti and Harry!:)

Aunty Rebeka does love to spoil Zacky great big time...she has spent every single night since we arrived to Romania with Zac and has even missed some school to be with Zac. Will miss Rebeka's parience and love. Zac has slept the first night through with Rebeka...hope he will keep at that. Now off to a good night sleep and then hope we wake and get home tomorrow...without too many delays.

First time best time?!

Today R was bought a new Thomas track and engine and such and Zac amazes me with his will he managed to pull it to explore it! He is so funny love his excited screams and all the fun he has while watching R play. He adores R!

We are so blessed to have aunty Irenke, uncle Jozsi and the cousins Hanna and Hanniel in the same house...often R gets bored and walks over to their house (the houses are separated by one door in he hallway) and he loves HANNAH....we are showered daily with gifts and attention from them. THANK YOU! Aunty Irenke has been in love with the boys always and thats so good.

Hannah and Zac (the youngest cousins). Zac has never had so many cuddles and people around he seems to enjoy attention....:) but most of all he loves his brother and mummy around. (shame daddy had to go away for a few nights)

A lovely chat with aunty Irenke...:) He has this ability to look people in the eye and always takes a little time to make up his mind as in to say "I love you".

We have discovered playdough here and its fantasticly good. Zac is only allowe the boxed but...good fun stacking them.

Zac has had a first Macdonalds meal...to be more specific it was chicken nuggets he LOVES THEM. And he also loves Tomato Shoup and chicken soup and everything we eat!:) I am amazed how well he is following his routine, He tells us when he is tired and wants a sleep and he is happy and very very well. I am a proud mummy both of my boys have done so well so far!! We are enjoying time here with Mama, Tata, Rebeka, my two brothers and their families and cousins and families and its good to be home. I love the fact that Zac sleeps with Rebeka at night and he does not mind in fact I think he sleeps like a log as he is with someone who loves him so much and takes such good care of him, THANK YOU AUNTY REBEKA!

Hello Romania

At church today as we set there we realised that we don;t have really many pics of 4 od us as such so here we are:))) a bit uncooperativley....?!as in the kids did not like the idea...:) took a few attempts to get this done...

Zac loved meeting his cousins Harry and Betty...and Hana and Haniel (these met first but missed the moment)...and he enjoyes the new faces...it seems.
I am certainly proud of him for taking it all in his stive...seems happy at all times and routine is as home....he fits right in.

A rest for all....:))at the farm...where I have not been for over 5 years. Zacky loved his new toy from aunty Irenke!:)

Mama and tata enjoyed so very much meeting again with Zac (mama that is cause tata only just met him) so there is always willing arms to carry Zac around and share the view from above with him:) This picture is at the farm where we spent some of the day for TATA;s bday!

Rebeka had the first cuddle and she also sais she would watch Zac first night it was so good meant we could all sleep. Zac having had 5hours sleep wanted to chatter and Rebeka and mum was happy to listen....while we snored in style.

I was blessed with two lovely boys on the flight home....THANK you boys it made such a difference. Both boys were asleep for a while and after a short stop in Bpest Zac slept for solid 5hours while R watched Tv and enjoyed his new DVDS. Trips like this would not be too much of a hassle....

Wow the day has come to finally fly back to Romania and show off our angel Zac! We were shattered as we were awake from 5Am.

friends galore! happy bday mummy!

One of the highlights of this week has been being invited out and seeing some of mummy's friends and their little ones. It makes a nice change as we have not really done much of that up til now...mainly as now we are a family with two kids so people have to take a huge risk inviting 2 adults and 2 kids...still thanks for inviting us Sandra! On the picture you can see Gabriel Beedle (my friend Noeleen;s son) and Millie Gosling (my friend Juliette's little girl).

I just love Millie's eyes...look at that amazing eyes and expression...the eyelashes and well good match for Zac. Z took a likeing to Sandra's pink cushions...bless...or was he tired?!

Ezen a heten meghivottak voltunk tobbek kozott egy baratnomhoz...nem gyakran kapunk meghivast ugyanis meg kell jol gondolnia a meghivo nak hogy ugye nem egy anyuka 1 gyerek hanem sokszor 2 gyerek es ugye ha apuka is eljon akkor 4 en erkeznek. De nagyon koszonom Sandra nak hogy elhivott nagyon jol ereztem magam...es Zac is teljesen othon volt a gyerekekkel.

the three kings and the princess...Gabriel Beedle, Zac Smith, Millie Gosling, Henry Miller a lovely crowd really such good kids. Bless....

Now this is probably the last entry before we are jeting off to Romania as its really now time we show off Zac...and off course get pampered by all our family ...ahhh I am we are soooo looking forward to this. Two days and we are off so wish us luck and a safe and sound journey and a really good holiday.

More of Zac later! He continues to be a lovely boy...especially if he has his brother with him he gets very very happy and excited. He is chewing everything which is a sign that teething is well and truley happening...he is also very good at saying no ...or shaking his head and finally he is the most adorable angel I could have ever wished for....:) He and Reuben are my most amazing BDay gift forever!!!:)) THANKS boys for being my boys!

TEEEEEEEEEETHHHHHHIIIIIIIINNNNNG:(((((((((((

Hello! Zac is teething badly and has had a hurrendous difficult few nights...still his favourite thing is to play on my computer! I need to figure out how to lock the keypad. Bless look at him in his desperate attempt to chew on everything he even took a dummy which is most unlike him.

All the toys in the world but what does Zac want?!! Yeah my sparkling water bottle...watch how happy when he gets what he wanted.

Chewing even in the bath!!!:) Poor baba hope those teeth will come out!

Tried to introduce TV to kill some time and take his mind off teething but nope he is not interested. Just as a comparison at this age R used to watch Baby Einstein one DVD at a time.....Zac will be a people person....he really does love to watch live stuff!!

This is what happened to Zac when we went shopping at ASDA!!! Made me laugh. Andrei and Zac seem to have had loads of fun!!

NOt much has happened for Zac this week and I think it was a very long week as to be honest he was almost all the time on either Neurofen or Calpol...he slept with great difficulty and cried out in pain. We were all shattered around him and I am amazed how tiredness can make adults feel so vulnerable and shattered that I felt probably the lowest for a long long time. He has come through a difficult week and I am praing and hoping those trouble making teeth are and will start popping out!

We are having a very active week and hopefully we will manage to do everything we need to and then only a few days and will go to show off HIM to the family and friends in ROMANIA.
