Josie's K1 team at the netball awards. Josie got an award for playing so well at the AIMS games.

She thanked their coach Nicky on behalf of the team.

We had a lovely netball wrap-up lunch at Sashi's house, this was such a fun team.


Meanwhile to wrap up Ellie's basketball season there were a few parent vs. children games - Dugald and I both played and it was lots of fun but also exhausting.

The moms (mums) rocked - none of this letting them win because they are kids business!

So proud of Meggie for getting a Karori Youth Award for her service to the community via The Winter Project and Young Enterprise.


School sausage sizzle - love having all my girls at the same school!

Meggie's choir was asked to sing at our principal's wedding and they did a lovely job. Congrats to Jenny and John!

September 2016

Aika likes hanging out in the sun - a rare photo of her awake during the day.

These two are closer to each other than normal.

Josie helps Ellie do her "Living with Three Sisters" poster for her speech competition.

Katie volunteers to help welcome refugee students.


Katie and her debating team made it to the finals again at parliament - they did really well but QMC beat them by a hair.

Katie is a strong first speaker.

Poker Night at ours with friends


Dugs going over the house rules for Texas Hold 'Em

I thought my main was so pretty - should serve it at Christmas with all that red and green. It was delicious too!

Great night with our great friends.
