I've been very slack on the blog front. So this will be a small update that will (hopefully) get me into the rhythm of positing again. Christmas was spent in Auckland, as usual, but we've signaled that we would like to (after 8 years of commuting every December) to have a Wellington Christmas this year. Just for a change...
We had a couple of nice days out on my parents new pride and joy. Padfoot loved driving the boat with grandad and Boogie enjoyed swimming and snorkling and Andrew loved everything!
I really enjoyed the after dinner walks on the beach and the rock pools.
The kids are thriving. Padfoot is in his last time at daycare and will start school on his birthday in August. Boogie is now in the middle syndicate (Year 3) at school and is loving it. She has just applied and was accepted into the Enviro-warriors group at school.
I managed to get some small summer vege garden going after our return from Auckland, and got a decent crop of beans, squash and tomatoes.
Andrew has got in a few ocean swims, doing the Capital Classic and his favourite Eastbourne wharf to wharf. This weekend he and Cedric are in Auckland for the King of the Bays. Hopefully, next year we'll get Boogie doing the kiddies 200 m swims.

Boogie moved into Grade 1 ballet in March and is thrilled to be with good friends and in character shoes!
She has also had a successful start to the ballet competition season.
And then, of course, there was the Katey Perry Jungle Roar 7th birthday party.
Followed by a more civilized jungle-themed birthday dinner out with our BFF.
