Hi
It's been a busy and scary time the last few months, but its turned out well in the end. After a couple of near misses getting pipped to the post I finally have a new job as Head of PE at Te Kuiti High School. So we are moving north to Piopio, a village 15 km from Te Kuiti. We have a brand new 4 bedroom house to move into (still renting) with great views. We will miss Taumarunui and have made some great friends here.
We have been busy doing lots of fun things Sarah competed in a mountain bike event and won her division. We have been out to 21st, 30ths ,35th 40th and 50th Birthday parties, Playing 5a -side footy and doing circuits. Freya has been the busiest with BMX racing on Mondays Swim club training on tuesday swim race night on wednesday and Touch on Friday. Plus she got into the school athletics team and went to inter school athletics doing long jump.
Merryn is loving pre school and riding her bike. She can,t wait to join in with all the activities freya does. She is a great character and keeps us entertained.
We took freya to a fishing day at Turangi trout hatchery and she did realy well learning to fly fish and catching and landing a huge rainbow trout. She enjoyed it and got her fish filleted and smoked so we could have it with our picnic.
Tom (Sarah,s cousin) came and stayed which was great. I think he had a good time. Vic another of Sarah's cousins also came by and it was awesome to catch up with him and Aoilife.
We have now got to the end of the school year and are looking forward to Christmas we have our tree up and lots of pressies underneath, all the girls are excited and Sarah insists on playing the Christmas cd all the time.
We would like to wish everyone a verry merry christmas and a prosperous New Year. We think about you and miss you all lots and will try and keep in touch better in the new year.
