October2013: And from this corner of the world . . .

The Kiwi contingency has arrived in force for R's wedding and it's kind of nice to have them here to share the excitement and to distract me from the fact that I am still pregnant. I know that 38 weeks and 5 days is hardly a gestational record (elephants = 2 years. Check it out) but if you think this is fun for one second then you aren't paying attention.

Anyway, the kiwi side of the fam has arrived, planted a flag, and this baby will understand that there's more than just Kansas in his history . . .

I'm on record with being a little frustrated with the sheer volume of 'Daddy' items that seem to have taken over Daniel's closet. Imagine my delight to find these!!

The awesome Rob and Eth sent along this sweet onesie - he's got a KC Chiefs jersey that's about the same size (about a year) so it'll be kind of fun to have a "kiwi option" . . . ;-)

To complete the look, he has a new born long sleeve version:

Additional All Blacks gear means that the extended family might get a little culture . . . and that Daniel will be kitted out in for at lease his first two years!
