Making the most of a Lake Hawea
windy day. Not the success it's
supposed to be when the 38 year old and
the 2 year old both refuse to let go..

On the springbug at the top of the
stairs, waiting for ruby to launch
herself.

Ruby and Nan eating all the xmas
cherries

Ruby, The Oak, Victoria and Sandra
enjoying a HOT Central Otago day

Dad, Ruby and Lizzy swimming
at Dublin Bay

Donning the pinny (apron for all you
non kiwis) to help with Xmas lunch
but couldn't resist a quick bounce
on the way

I am supposed to be in bed but mum
and dad busted me.

Bath toy chewing frenzy

our little rock star

The Oak (oliver) and Ruby.

Uncle Doug's Xmas present. There
were tears and anguished cries after
I wrestled it off her.

Moosh - Ruby and Emily off for a
bike ride

Xmas Day - 22 for xmas lunch and it
was awesome. Quite a way to stress
test and celebrate the new place.
They all didn't quite eat enough ham for
our liking as 8 days later we finally
finished it.

Amber and Great Nan


Full of smiles.

This makes me laugh. Keighley and
her bump make the best baby seat.

The Xmas fairy

Go figure..

Ruby's cake. Yes the red icing
did have that special effect
on the kids and a few parents

Now this was funny. Ruby loves to
push things, especially the washing
trolley. Cheap entertainment. Pauline
went for a walk to get the paper, with
Ruby and trolley in tow.

Amber and Granny P. Those big red
cheeks were the precursor to teeth.

Ruby helping our neighbour clean
her car. That's what you get when
there's no fence.

Did my mum tell you how much i
love food

Amber and her Great Nan,who
is 83 and drove herself here to visit.
She's a pretty amazing woman.


Ruby and her Great Nan
Our new driveway
Getting ready for summer

Apparently she just needs a goatee...

Dad and some of his girls

That kiwi ingenuity

I think Churchie's wanted to hire one
of these all his life. Almost bucked
him off a few times.

They're feeding me. Hooray for food
and i have 2 teeth!!

Bubble making with Granny P

Churchie's ingenuity with our newly
topsoiled yard. Underneath that
topsoil is glacial morraine and what
feels like boulders the size of the house!

Amber and dolly

I guess you just go to sleep if you get
stuck
