Introducing Biff

So after a long arduous labour i am pleased to introduce the lastest member to our family............Biff Brooks. He came into our lives at 10.34am on Friday the 20th of Feb, 2009. He weighs 2760kgs. Both Mum and Biff are doing fine.






We have a campervan! Finally. Picked up our not so little Biff this morning from his previous home in Highland Park, which is a district of Auckland. He is massive!! We had to get a big ass van just to put all Kates shoes in. Nah, he is fully tooled up with a fridge, a microwave, hot and cold running water, a sofa and chair which fold out into a bed and of course, tons of storage. After we picked him up we took him out a little drive, ya know, to get to know him. We stopped off for lunch and to buy some essentials (plates, pillow, duvet, those sorts of things). We got back to Biff and started filling all his drawers and cubby holes with all new gear when Kate asked me what that noise was? She said it sounded like running water. Now it was absolutely pissing down outside so i just assumed it was the rain. But no, Biff had wet himself!! Maybe he was anxious about having new parents but for some reason the hot water pipe had disconnected and was emptying itself all over the back of the van! Steaming hot water gushing everywhere. Managed to jam the pipes back together and clean up Biffs little accident. Kate is now sure we have bought a lemon but it was an easy fix and nothing was damaged, except Biffs pride.

We then went for a drive down to the coast to watch the boats but as the weather was shocking we just sat in Biff and looked through his service history and started customizing him with stickers. He has had a lot of work done but as Kate pointed out, his is 18 years old. Hopefully that won't mean he'll be out all hours of the night then will sneak home stinking of alcohol, telling us he has gotten a mini cooper pregnant! I'm sure he'll be well behaved (famous last words!)

So we leave Auckland tomorrow and head up to Whangarei to see Derby Danny and Catherine. Can't wait! We're gonna be spending about a week there which will give us plenty of time to explore, go snorkelling and finish pimping out Biff. I tried to convince Kate that he needs spinning hub caps but she's not having it.

So will update you all soon.

Peace
