Hello! Finally I have some time to write again.

It has been a very long time, I am sorry.

Our big news is that we are moving back to Mt Cook.

Some may think this is crazy, but it has been a big family decision and we are all very excited about it. It will be an adventure for the boys to experience Mt Cook at an older age, and Jacob does love the snow and there is a school ski trip 3 weeks after we get there.

It is time for me to go back to work, I finally have to accept my boys no longer need me quite so much. It really does surprise me that Jacob is nearly 10 years old!!

So with the cost of living being high even in small town NZ then it is off to a place where rent and power is much cheaper and I still have a good support system of friends, not to mention those beautiful mountains.

At the moment I am finishing my last few weeks of school and will be happy when it is all over. The boys have 4 weeks of school until the holidays. Then we will move on 9 July.

So I have cleaning out cupboards and throwing away old stuff. It feels good to do that.

I came across some old photos on some discs that I didn't even know I had. Here are some.

How cute is Dominic at 3.

I wonder if he will grow up to cook just like his dad.

One of my favourite from the end of 2003. The boys are reaching the top of Mt Cook

Jacob turning 6, he looks pretty happy about it!

Some brotherly love at bed time.

Face painting is a favourite.

So I will keep you all posted about how the moving is going and how we are settling in.

And we will send some photos of the boys in the snow and hopefully up on some ski's or maybe there will be more photos of them on their bums!!

Take care everyone
