Bye!

Jason was out of town early this week and so the boys love to mirror their daddy with their own work trip.

The weather was GORGEOUS and Charlie had a fever yesterday so we skipped/wagged/bunked (US, Kiwi and British slang) preschool and spent the afternoon at one of my favorite beaches in Wellington.

Backbencher's on Fire (again...)

We are finally back to Wellington. I have SO MUCH to say and reflect on over the past 2 months. It was an incredible time back in the US. I have such wonderful memories, and it really was a gift to back for such a long time. I was so thankful to reconnect with family and friends, but due to different circumstances, I wasn't able to see everyone that I wanted to see. I'm sorry for really terrible correspondence - I'm finally digging out of my e-mail. I'm almost to early August!

I will scatter a few reflection/pictures over the next week or so (hopefully!).

In the meantime, we were welcomed to Backbencher Fire Part 2 this afternoon (check out the news article here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7764140/Backbencher-pub-on-fire). Charlie said the thing he missed the most about New Zealand was his toys (he's honest I suppose). He said the toy he missed the most was his red fire engine. For the past week, he hasn't stopped talking about The Backbencher Fire Part 1 and was excited to wake up to his nap to the whole kit-and-kaboodle again. Honestly, we had the best view in the city, but it was a little disturbing that our smoke alarms weren't going off given our proximity to the fire...
