Family

 At Prizegiving we were lucky enough to see the girls from St Michaels School, Maddie, Karenia, Saskia and Megane

And J, this is Dad trying to teach the Christmas tree selling man how to tie a decent knot.

Bonne fete Sebastien et Grace!

Megane made this cake (of course).  If she had let me cut it open for the photo you would see that iti s a rainbow cake of many colours.  Quite gorgeous...  But no, it was all "hands off Mum", humph.

And the car, well I just want the car.  I found it (in front of the empty section) next to Dad's house.  He says it is a gas-guzzler but I don't care.  Dear Santa, I want this for Christmas and I've been ever so good...

PS don't you love the road repaired after the earthquakes?  It really inspires confidence...

Chalk and cheese (and kidney stones)

Why would anyone want to look pained in a photo, when you can look as happy as this?

 And a mere 3 days later we had Prizegiving, where Seb was made a Prefect for 2013, Tennis Captain and Orchestra Leader...

This wonderful picture was taken right as the kapahaka performance finished.  I was TRYING to get an action shot but somehow the camera just wasn't interested in playing along...

Ballet Recital 2012

There is nothing my sister Jessica loves more than photos of the kids.  Blurry, she loves them.  Posted, she loves them.  Candid, she loves them.  So, here are the not-so-great shots I got today in all their glory.  I'll let you work out where Megane and Lucy are in the photos...

My cool friend, Super Lesley!!!

Fabulous picture!
Fabulous pounamu!
Fabulous result!!
We love you Lesley xxx

Candid shots

Well well, I had my camera in class the other day and while I was teaching one of the wee darlings took a picture of me teaching.  It is odd looking at pictures of youself - I wonder if that is really what I look like.  Anyway that's me.  And below is Dad and Lucy.  He came over after work and was sending a text to someone...  I turned around and there was Lucy sitting on his lap just loving being with him.  I love this photo of them both. 

Honesty online

Well you know the old saying "there is no praise like self praise"?  In this instance it is true.  Right after the 2/22 earthquakes I worked in Latimer Square with this group of awesome people.  For reasons we can probably all guess at, it was never talked about in the media.  RUDE!  (well, except by me here on my blog)  So please, take a look and appreciate the good that is in the world. xx Suzy
