A busy few weeks

I have been very quiet lately because it has been a bit hectic round here. Dylan and i both came down with a cold and i am really stuggling to shake mine. Poor Ciro hashad two of us to take care of!!. Dylan is almost completely better,I am still coughing and spluttering but getting there... i hate summer colds!!! Had a check up at the docs on Tuesday and baby is well. We thought we might be able to get a prediction on whether it is boy or girl but looks like we will have to wait another 4 weeks. Dylan was very intrigued and Dr. Fu gave him his own picture of his sibling which he held onto for the rest of the evening. All else with pregnancy is going well...just really tired!!!
Dylan is starting to talk more..he could select his words better of course:) The other night he shouted "don't" at Ciro and he definitely says "no" a lot. He said "hello" to granny on the phone the other day ...so i am feeling a bit better about his speech.
We have one more week of school and then two weeks holiday ..looking forward to it!! I will post some pics when i get the energy to download pics..for now here is a rare one of the three of us..

Pics from Taipei weekend

We had a great weekend up in Taipei with Peggy and Vincent..fun filled. Went to Yangmingshan (no pics- batt dead) where we walked for ages...were heading to a waterfall and all along the way when we asked people they said "15 minutes left" after 45minutes we turned back but it was really beautiful all the same. The next day we headed along the coast basically around the northern tip of Taiwan to Yeliou- really beautiful, strange erosion patterns. Wonderful day just very HOT!!! Went off to 101 on Monday and then a tearful goodbye at the airport in the evening.

The landscape at Yeliou

Still fresh faced at the start of the walk....

Dylan found the rocks fascinating.






We stopped at Paishawan beach on the way for a paddle in the sea...very crowded little beach.



Outside 101

At the airport


All else going well here, just very hot and this pregnancy is very different from Dylan...a lot more tired and have had a lot of nausea. Poor Ciro and Dylan are having to deal with a much
crankier version of me at the moment..
