Summer: Holidays and home

Click here and type in thodson as the password for pics from our summer... so far.

We've had a lovely time with a month away. We stayed in Hawke's Bay, Masterton, Riversdale, Fielding, Greytown, Palmerston North, Hawke's Bay again and Taupo, with a quick stop in Matamata on the way home. It was wonderful to catch up with so many family (first cousins, second cousins, and fourth cousins!) and friends. Thanks to all those who provided hospitality. I hope we can repay you sometime in 2010.

It was a long time to be away, but when we got home the kids had a new trampoline and treehouse that Bevan had put up, which they love.

In addition Guy turned 3 at the end of January and requested a Bad Jelly the Witch cake and party. *groan* Obviously this was going to stretch creative talents, but, thanks to Bridgit's Australian Women's Weekly Birthday Cake book, he got Bad Jelly... of sorts.

Hope all are well, wherever you are.
