Hello to everyone
We have had some busy times, I don't know where our time goes sometimes.
The boys are busy at school. Last week they had helicopter rides at school. They were very excited and I think nearly the whole school had a turn on it. It was only a 10 minute ride but a really good opportunity for a lot of kids to ride in one.
Dominic's reading is improving a lot. It seemed for a while he wasn't really getting it, but something has suddenly made sense to him and he is reading wonderfully. It will make a lot of things much easier for him, especially playing on the computer, his favourite thing. He has always had to ask Jacob to read everything for him.
His swimming has also improved a lot in the last few weeks. He can stroke and breath for about 15 meters now without stopping.
Soccer season starts soon, the school has put them into teams. So it is back to the very early, freezing cold Saturday mornings!! The boys enjoy it so much though it is all worth it in the end.
So there will be some great action photo's for you soon.
Bernd came up for the weekend, so the boys had a great time. Although the weather wasn't great it seems as though summer might be over, there is a chill in the air and even some snow on our mountain.
I have been getting out walking on our mountain here. There is the main cone and then a series of ranges coming from it out towards the sea. This photo is looking at the cone from the ranges. It is so often cloudy over the top of it, so I was very lucky on this day, it is a beautiful place to be.
And this photo is from the main cone looking over the ranges to the sea and New Plymouth is to the right of the picture by the chimney.

Well that is all I have to report at the moment. I will take some more photo's soon.
I hope everyone is well and happy.
