The Wednesday with Toby's birthday

Hi,

Toby is sixteen!  And he met his mates for McDonalds during the day in town, so he decided against Maccas again for tea.  I dodged it!  Yay.

We picked the Ford up from its service and Mike drove to Waikanae for a road trip dinner for Toby.  His request.  Fish n Chips at Waikanae beach.

The boys wander down to the beach

Toby poses - but requests no Facebook or Insta.  He didn't mention the blog!

And me.

And the two of us

And more of us.

The traffic was awful - we have no idea why people would do that commute willingly.  It was 1815 by the time we got to the chippie. But we were all happy, especially when Mike's mother called and wished Toby a happy birthday.  Turns out she was leaving a voice mail earlier and had left it recording as she sorted out ringing Mike.  The message made Toby laugh when he listened to it later.  And he declared his love for his Nana to us.

How great!

We got home and I wasn't long out of bed.  Slept well.  Better than 16 years ago when I was still astounded at this wee baby we had created.  And he wanted a lot of food in the night.  Hahahah!

Hope your day is a good one.  It's Toby's unbirthday.

Love,
Angela
