New Zealand Holiday

Hi everyone.

Just to let you know that we are all still alive, just haven't had much time to 'blog', nor can we download our pictures.

Maia and I arrived in NZ about 6 weeks ago and spent a month down in Southland with Maia getting to know her "Nan and Pop's' again. Then we headed off to Wellington/Auckland for a whirlwind visit!!!! (HUGE apol to those we couldn't/didn't see) and we are now relaxing in KeriKeri and doing some work on our property up here and Maia is getting to know her other Nana!!!

All going well and I haven't spoke French for AGES!!! Dreading returning home.

We have some superb pictures of our trip so they will be displayed when time permits once we are home..

xoxoxo
Shaun, Heidi and Maia
