Miscellaneous Updates

Well it seems summer is finally upon us here in Christchurch. (At least I hope.) It has been in the low to mid 20's for the past two days - Celcius. That is in the 80's and gorgeous. This is a shot of Sumner from the Captain Thomas Walking track in the hills behind it. Steve was working an evening shift, and we had the chance to hike during the day when the kids were at school. As you can see, it is a little place nestled in the hills right on the beach. Our house is by the water on the right side of the picture. The big square of open field is the horse paddock where, next week I will once again resume my horseback riding pursuits. Below is a picture of Steve's newest pursuit. (That is not our house in the back.) I took this as he was walking home for lunch.
Here is a picture from Ruby's first day of school, with his brother's riding off to school. Aren't they are set in their little school uniforms. It is a brief, wonderous moment in time that all three are in the same school, on the same schedule, walking distance. Ah...in Feburary, Sam will go off to a different school and blow it all out of the water. I will savor the elegance of the school solution till then.





Well that is it for now. We are groovin in the beach scene and trying to find our way here in NZ. Cheers.
