A Beautiful Saturday...

We had a beautiful Saturday today. The weather was so nice...about 23, sunny and a light breeze with random gusts that would send your hat flying. Laundry was out, groceries were bought, beds were stripped and remade..life happened.
New Zealand is feeling less like a vacation now, rather a nicely paced, simpler life. Thank goodness for technology. We got to talk/type to Mark, Kris and Emma, Shawn and Tanya, Emily, Moe, Kristen, Erinn, Mrs. McLeish and Mom, Dad, Holly, Hunter, Lillie and Scott. As it is Abby's birthday this coming week, we did a video call to Holly's when Mom and Dad got there. They had sent her birthday presents early and then she opened them today...it was like we were all in the same room having her party. Again, thank goodness for technology.
Here are some pics from today and other days that we had on our camera.

We had A LOT of snow here this weekend, snowed in Sunday as were many people. We love the snow so it doesn't both us all that much.
Happy B-day to Abby, Jareds is coming up in April so I remembered Abby's was sometime before.
Hope all is well, love reading the Blog and we have been enjoying the pictures as well.
