Well hello to you all,
We have been bad at keeping in contact with so many people, so i have decided to set this up and hopefully keep you in the loop of whats happening with us.
So yeah We have been in New Zealand for 3 years now and we have 2 wonderful children. Caleb he will be 3 in March, and Hayley she turned 1 in Novemeber.
I am a stay at home mum for most of the time and Jeff works for Eastside Refrigeration (Heat and Air Conditioning company) which he quite enjoys.
In Sep/Oct we were able to travel to USA for a month for Jeffs sisters wedding. Unfortunalty time and money held us back from travelling much. We would have loved to go to Colorado, guess that will be top on our to do list on our next trip, whenever that may be.
We were able to go to Minnisota and stay with Andrew, Melissa and lydia Jackson, which was a blast.
We had a awesome time being back in America but as always the trip went by much to fast. The kids were a breeze to travel with, and slept on all the flights. I was so glad not to be one of the mums with screaming kids.
We are having a hot summer so far and have been able to spend a bit of time at the beach. We celebrated Christmas at the beach. Jeff found it a bit strange to be swimming in the ocean, when his idea of christmas is being surrounded by snow.
Caleb starts Kindergartin in Febuary 2-3 afternoons a week, which we are both looking forward to. I will also be able to continue with Hayleys swimming lessons at the same time. Shes getting quite confident and loves going underwater.
I have decided to do a duathlon in March, so Jason is talking great pleasue in training me for it. So I am biking 5-6 mornings a week, and working out at the gym 3 times a week. I have a wedding in March to attend so I'm hoping the duathlon is not the same weekend. I hate running so we will have to do alot of work on that area before March, which really is not too far away.
Well thats us all up to date.

It's great to see what you guys are up to. We'd been wondering how you were. The pictures are great, your kids are so cute!
Hi. I'm not sure if you remember us, we worked with you at Camp Redcloud in the summer of 2002. We saw your comment on Matt and Kristina Russells blog and clicked on the link to yours. It's cool to see what you're up to, congrats on the kids, how fun! We have two also, you can see their pictures on our blog, I guess you just click on our name? We're headed back to Redcloud this summer, Luke is the new wilderness director!
