Tuesday, I chaperoned Tate’s field trip to the Auckland Museum. It was awesome. I learned so much and didn’t even lose any of the six girls in my group! The class was learning about the journey to New Zealand from Southeast Asia/South China (where NZ ancestry can be traced) and the history and significance of … More Polynesian Learning
Last week we lucked out with AMAZING weather – sun, warmth, no rain. It was so beautiful. And SO fun! In chronological order – not ranked by fun or excitement – the first thing that happened to us last week was that Gracie made the Cross Country team! And she’s not really a runner! At … More What a week(end)!
It’s been a fun but quiet week here, which is very much like normal life – I’ll take it! Here’s what’s been going on, in no particular order… Year 7 Social.

So monies have been moved, and we’re just waiting for them to arrive. And thanks to all of … More L’il Sebastian. Kiwi style.
