The 'great trek'....

I have been so quiet for some time now - but thing got hectic here very fast. Yip we finally decided to make the 'great trek' across ocean and continent to the land of the long white cloud - New Zealand.


Mister left SA just after Christmas with the children and I following at the beginning of April 2009. After a very looong 13 1/ hours flight, 3 hours layover in Sydney and another 2 1/2 hour flight to Auckland, we arrived just before midnight which helped get us into our new time zone quite quickly. These are some pics of the children at the airport and our first views of Auckland from the North Shore. And yes, it really is a beautiful city!


The children have started school - Kelby going into Year 11 and Nicholas is now in Year 9. For the first time every they go to the same school - a bit of a challenge for both of them.





Aren't they gorgeous...


What can I say, I guess I must be biased - but wow my children are just stunningly beautiful! I am so proud of how they are growing up!
Both are strawberry blondes with stunning blue eyes - how did I get so blessed!
