The bump is getting bigger with every passing day

By -
It is amazing to see the baby's home for the next few months expand with every passing day! Amazing how that bump looks and not just feels like something very special, and I love the sight of Iritana and her beautiful new body lots and lots.

Not a moment goes by that I do not think about how our lives are going to change profoundly... all very exiting :)

Will start making some pictures as soon as we have had next weeks ultrasound at the chime of week 13!!!

Talk soon!

Myth and Legend of Tuwhakairiora

By -
TUWHAKAIRIORA Na Mohi Turei Translated by Archdeacon H. W. Williams This story is a real classic of Maori literature, and the bestknown literary work of Mohi Turei. It is reprinted by the kind permission of the Journal of the Polynesian Society, where it first appeared in 1911, in an issue now extremely rare and valuable. The circumstances leading up to Tu-whakairiora's conquest of the Ngati-Ruanuku, sometime in the sixteenth century, are told in Colonel Gudgeon's paper, The Maori Tribes of the East Coast of New Zealand, also to be found in the Journal of the Polynesian Society (Vol. IV). The places mentioned in this story may still be found near the East Cape today.—Editor. Poroumata and his wife Whaene were well born, being descendants of Porourangi. Their tribe was Ngati Ruanuku. The chief clans of the tribe were Horo, Mana, Te Koreke, Te Moko-whakahoihoi, Te Pananehu, and Pohoumauma. When the tribe procured food, they brought for Poroumata game, fish, and all other kinds of...

Tuwhakairiora in the Walker

By -
Hi all, we thought that it would be nice to see some updated footage of Tuwhakairiora running around in his walker. He is doing so well, still has a little cough, enjoying kohanga and time with mum and dad. Both Bo and I are LOVING being his parents - we have got him into some sort of routine... eating well and entertained. His mummy has bought him a few books to read to him... currently Tuwhakairiora learns Maori during the day, Dutch from daddy when he gets home... a bit gaa gaa goo goo's mixed with English at home. He is going to be a well versed boy. We are pretty full on at the moment, moving and selling our house and looking for somewhere else to stay (in Wellington)... then hopefully in a couple years make the big leap to Europe to be closer to the Engels tribe. Our boy is healthy, full of smiles and growing more and more each day, we wish you were here... and count down the days till we see you again. Love lots, the NZ base Engels family

Quicktroduction of our Long awaited boy, Tu!

By -
Hi Everyone!! This is just a very quick post of daddy to show the family and friends in Europe what our boys looks like. I will be jumping back onto the blog to tell about the birth and all the other things that have happened ever since the last Sunday of November 2009 around 04:00 in the morning :) Now for some quickly converted movies! Some material from Tu and Dad during a feed top up, due to the mild Jaundice that Tu appears to be having he needs to receive additional UV as well as top-up feeding to ensure the Bilirubin levels in the blood get regulated. Jaundice is a very common new born thing and nothing to worry about if you treat it as said above and we are, he is not yellow as they check preemptively and as such never got the chance to :) Please forgive a father for his madness inducing "brabble" :) Both Iritana and I are extremely happy in love with our baby boy and once we are back home (Iritana needs to recover a little more and Tu needs to be cleared off UV tre...
