Snow Day 2012

So I know it has been a long time since I last posted on the blog and for this I am sorry!  Why?....you might ask.  Well, mainly because life has just been day to day busy and surviving.  We have been very busy with our ministry which is great news and busy with the kids.  The last couple of weeks the kids have been sick and were tested for whooping cough (which I did not realize that you can still get if you were vaccinated, but I guess I was wrong).  We are praising God that the test came back negative.  We were all ready to get back to school and normal life when we were hit with SNOW!!!!  They say it hardly snows in Christchurch but this the second year in a row we have had snow and the schools have closed!  Since we had a clean bill of health we went out and played in the snow, ate snow, and stayed warm by the fire!

 Waking up to snow!

Papa and Gigi Visit

As you can imagine we were all very excited for Papa and Gigi to come and visit! We had a great time touring all over the South Island!  Here ares some of the highlights of the trip!  Pictures do speak louder the words in the case!

Landon Cross Crountry

Landon was so excited as it was his turn for his 1st Cross Country Meet. He had been practicing for months and we are so proud of him!

Happy Easter from NZ!

Watched this video at our church here this morning and thought it was well put together. Gives a perspective of what it might be like to "FOLLOW" Jesus if the events took place in today's social net based society.

Blessings to you and yours!

Landon's 1st Field Trip

Landon had his first field trip at school. He was so excited it seemed like we were counting down sleeps forever! The theme at school this year is Extremes and so his class has been learning about the Antarctic! The bonus in Landon's mind was that he got to ride a bus there!!!!! So off we went the The Canterbury Museum to learn lots about Antarctica and everything else the museum had to offer!

Landon was a little nervous on the horse..he looks sad but he actually wasn't!

Logan Cross Country 2012

On Thursday Logan had a chance to run Cross Country at his school with his age group. He worked really hard at pacing himself and did a great job! We were very proud of him and he had a great time!

Nav Social Camp

At the beginning of March we had Social Camp with our Student Group. It was a great opportunity to get away, get to know each other, and a great start to the new school year. Bryan and Logan went up for the whole weekend and Erin, Landon, and Levi joined us on Saturday! Here are some great pictures of the weekend!
