Make a wish
Elizabeth has just discovered how much fun it is to make a wish on fluffy dandelion seeds, spreading the invasive weed far and wide. Me: What did you wish for? Elizabeth: Coins. That’s a bit materialistic for a 3-year-old, isn’t it? Elizabeth: Chocolate coins. Phew. She’s more interested in chocolate coins than metal ones. That’s…

Waitangi Day
A friend of ours said to me this morning, “I read the article you wrote for Stuff Nation”. What!? A couple of weeks ago I made a blog post about how to save the world by bicycle. I’m quite passionate about this topic and really wanted to spread my thoughts and because I only have…

Saturday morning at Takapuna
It has been quite hot here. Not as bad as the heat folks in Australia are enduring, but hotter than we’re used to. So we’ve been swimming in the sea every other day and I’m quite enjoying it. This morning I thought it would be nice to go for an early swim at Takapuna beach…

Santa
We visited Santa at snowplanet today and the kids sat on his lap and discussed presents. They loved it. Then we had fun snow tubing with Dad, Olivia and TJ. Even Elizabeth loved the experience and was in hysterics when slipping and sliding down the slope. A photo of us all: Daniel has…

Relatives
We’ve had some lovely visitors this past week. Our niece, Frances, was with us for a whole week and we all enjoyed her visit very much. She sketched a picture of Freud for us before she left. I love it! Thank you, Frances. She’s a very talented young lady. Then we had the pleasure of…

New Chums beach and more
Our weekend of adventure is now over and we are back at home. Fortunately the mishaps we had at the beginning did not continue and the rest of our weekend was very nice. We stayed in a little place called Whangapoua. The nearest beach was just a short 5 minute walk away: There was another…

Elizabeth
Gosh I’ve been so slack with my blog recently! I’m so sorry. Things are just all go here. Today I caught Elizabeth using a bic glue stick like it was a roll-on deodorant and applying it to her armpits. Elizabeth has a new favourite book – a pink, tizzy thing: We bought Elizabeth some underpants…

Zeki’s grave and photos
We buried Zeki in our back yard and planted a fern on the grave. Daniel helped us and was very interested in the process. He does not seem bothered by the fact Zeki is gone and never coming back. Zeki’s grave I thought I’d take the opportunity to post some photos of our garden…

Hair cut just outside the red zone
We ventured into South City yesterday so that I could have a hair cut. South City is in the CBD just outside the cordoned off area, otherwise known as the red zone. I’ve never seen this part of town so quiet. My hair-dresser has been busy she says but one thing is new: most of…
