Settling In

Just a few photos of our new place and of our first rugby game experience. I recorded a video of the house but I had the camera turned the wrong way and didn't think everyone would want to watch it sideways. I will redo when I get a chance and post it because we have lots of furniture now.

Blaine's parents and grandmother made it here safely from Mississippi/Tennessee yesterday. We are so thrilled to have family in our new house!!! They will be here for 2 1/2 weeks. We start our journey around the South Island on Saturday morning in a minivan we rented. Should be lots of pictures and fun stories to share when we return. I made a traditional Kiwi roast dinner last night...roast leg of lamb, potatoes and pavlova (a meriange type dessert) for their first meal.
We will keep everyone updated on all the fun we're having! Blaine and I are excited to be off work for the next 10 days!

Hey, great looking place. Glad to see the family has arrived. The kitties are doing fine, claiming territory.

Have fun!

I need a new address so I can mail something to you. I don't want it to get lost and I wasn't sure if it would get forwarded or not. Hope you guys have lots of fun. Love and miss you!!

Sorry about the sideways camera - I can sympathize. We need a picture of your yellow kitty too! Hope the weather is great for your tour week. You two will be experts on the South Island after this week! Have fun and keep Janie and Grandmother happy (meaning: stop for lots of pictures and don't let Blaine drive fast!)
