Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui
So much has been happening with our family over the last couple of months, and as usual we have been able to fit in lots of places, people and things. Celebrations Just before Christmas we were able to spend a weekend at Waihi Beach (fortunately before sharks started attacking people there) with Roy’s family to celebrate his brother turning 40. It was a fun weekend filled with fishing, bodyboarding, swimming and spending time with the family. There were some special moments for a family that don’t often get the chance to spend a lot of time together. Since we had just had a weekend away with Roy’s side of the family and were heading down to Wellington in January, we decided to have a quiet Christmas at home alone in Pirongia. It is also a bit of a novelty to be at our house (with all our stuff) as opposed to travelling around so it made for a quiet and enjoyable day for us all being on our own schedule. “I love Christmas, especially when we don’t have to go anywhere.” Gabrielle. “...
