Church prayer evening

 The Tomb - before the floor was done and the lighting ect....

 The Garden of Eden

 More of the Garden 6 meters x 4 meters

 Calvary - prayer and reflection area.

Garden of Gethsemane.

I was asked by the pastor of our church to create 4 areas in which people could walk into, sit down, reflect and pray.  He wanted the Garden of Eden, Gethsemane, the Tomb and then Calvary. And above is what I came up with. They were 4 individual rooms that you entered, you could not see the other rooms until you walked into that specific area. 3 of the rooms were 4 x 4 meters and 1 room was 6 x meters. It took me about 3 weeks to paint the murals and about 2 day to set it all up. This was more than what my pastor was expecting and the overall event surprised alot of people. It was a very successful event and one that moved and challenged people in there faith. I had a lot of fun but not something I want to do again in suck a short amount of time.

Kids in uniform

Caleb and Hayley started at Hukanui School this year. Its a public school so that will make life a bit easier for us.
They were both excited to start a new school, and so far both have fitted in great and are really enjoying the school.

Summer Fun January 2011

So these pictures seem to have  a mind of there own and are not allowing me to place them in the correct order... so just enjoy there randomness.
We enjoyed a week over at Papamoa in January, we had a blast as always.

 We hiked up Mount Maunganui with Caleb and Hayley while my Mum and Dad walked around the base with Connor. It took about an hour, we had stunning weather and even better views. The kids did very well as it is quite a step hike.

 Connor and I - not sure where.

 Caleb on the slip and slide given to him and Hayley by Grandma and Grandpa on one of their visits.

Apologies for my slackness

So I finally had some time to sit down and do nothing. I took a look at our blog to see how I was going on that and see I have been horrendous.... Gene and Linnea I'm amazed I haven't had major complaints over the lack of information. So sorry!!!!
I will try and do my best to catch up on the past and current information and happenings.
