Ben and Meri are coming!!!

(sorry this is such a little photo...I am doing this at work)

We are so excited to have my brother and his wife on their way to New Zealand!

Great news--Meri passed her daunting CRNA board exams!!!!

Now they will be able to relax and have fun with us!

We are going to do the South Island in a counter-clockwise direction...and it should be fun to do some hikes, biking, camping and who knows what else with them.

We can't wait.

And this is the perfect time of year to come because Spring is springing...and the weather is warming up and the tourists are not swarming in yet.

Watch this space for pictures to come of our adventures...

Here is a list of all the people that have visited us while we've lived here over the past 2 years:

Mom (our 1st visitor!)

Mr. Blaine, Mrs. Janie and Grandmother T (she was our oldest visitor!)

Melissa S. Galbraith and Michelle Bloch (our blondest visitors)

Matt Broome (our only cousin visitor)

Laurel Blissett and Kellye B. Summerhill (our brunettest visitors)

Bryan and Wendy Frady (our most humorous vistors)

and now

Ben and Meri!

Pretty good for 2 years and 10,000 miles away!
