Saturday morning and our blossoms are here!

Happy day! We have a few blossoms and my Japanese Maple is starting to get leaves. My back yard is about to become the Garden of Eden again and I can't wait. Photos will follow...

So what else is new? Megane has a throat infection and is on antibiotics (big deal in our house). Sebastien has a skate-a-thon this afternoon to raise money for his ice hockey team. He is very excited but so far he hasn't got any sponsors. We figured that our $700 a season contribution was plenty so he can look elsewhere! Lucy is in the orange reading group and she is very excited about it! And the little smartypants can spell "because". I remember getting that wrong on a spelling test when I was 8 (she is 5 1/2).

Today Dom is putting my plate rack on the wall. I love vintage crockery so I have a good collection of pretty plates (that we use for every meal) and I've wanted a plate rack for ages. He was going to make me one but.... 2 years later I have *purchased* :) No hard feelings, as long as he gets it on the wall today! My plans include a run, ironing, lesson prep (yes yes, I know, yesterday was the last day of the semester - but I offered to do 3 days of holiday tuition for my students because the earthquake really got them behind) and maybe a French movie tonight.

Oh and if anyone can tell me how to get the photos to show on this blog while I am writing it (before it is posted) instead of some kind of blah blah computer language, i'd be very very greatful. xx

So glad to hear there is some nice news. I'm just catching up with your posts...it's been a week since I came here and boy have you been busy!

About Me

Our family of 5 currently lives in Christchurch, New Zealand. I love being here because of the weather, the clean water, Dad living 5 minutes from us, and our Ward. I miss my friends and family overseas and invite you all to come here for a holiday!
