Daily Life in a Small New Zealand Village





Thought you all might like to see some of the things that go on here on a daily basis that are just....well, daily life. Things that might be happening in any house with kids anywhere in the world.
It's not all visiting beautiful places. We celebrate birthdays (see Jim with all the kids...Becky, David, Abby, Aidan, Naomi, and Ayla...blowing out candles), we take baths (see Abby posing in her towel) and hair grows back (see David showing off his ever-longer hair do!
Today is the first day of the two week school holiday that I keep calling Spring Break, but since it's autumn here, people look at me funny when I say that. A two week holiday? What the heck are we going to do for a two week holiday? I guess we'll have many moments of daily life and togetherness. We might have an adventure or two, but mostly, our plan is to experience the days together.
One little adventure to share...after school today, the kids and I went swimming in the no longer warm Tasman Sea....it's cold!!!!
