Long White Clouds

We're about to leave for the airport so I thought I'd keep my promise and just quickly make a holiday post. We've seen heaps. Done some awesome driving tours around the top of the North Island - Taupo, Rotorua, Coromadel Peninsula. Visited lots of geothermal thingys. Seen heaps of cows and only a few sheep?!? Paid an arm and a leg for petrol $2.17/litre - curse my right foot! Eaten great food. Drank a few tasty beers and a couple of decent espressi. All in all good times. See you very soon.

Holiday Photo #1 - Sophia

Scott & Kat have had a baby girl! Sophia Grace was born 2.30pm on Sunday 13th April. Praise God! She's very cute and mum & dad are ecstatic (though a little tired & sore).

Just in time for holiday photo blogging:
She looks like she's crying but she's not (I'm not either, ok)

Holidays

Just finished night shift and am now officially on Holidays. We leave for NZ tomorrow to visit my Mum and David plus tour the top half of the North Island. Looking forward to heaps of food, driving the MX-5 and ride on mower, seeing NZ in green & gold (I'm taking my Wallabies jersey), possibly skydiving?!? and hanging with Kate. Should be good times though I'll miss my machine. Thanks to Mish for house sitting! Might do a post from the land of the long white cloud...

24 Live

How good is the current season of 24? How good is Jack? Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil if for you if you aren't watching it yet (arming device, drones, former US President, consulate, terrorists - just a teaser - He he he!).

We've been rather annoyed at the stupid screening time channel 7 have chosen but tonight, because we're on holidays, we'll be watching it live! Yessssss!!!

We've also been enjoying Heroes and Lost.

More Holidays

It seems like ages ago now but we just had more holidays!!!

After a couple of days hard work down at Beach Mission (which went really well - Praise God), Matt went back to work then took 2 weeks off while Kate finished school holidays.

We didn't go anywhere - just hung out at the Toose Hoose, watched a few movies and only about 2 hours of TV, played a running Take 2 tournament which Matt won by just 6 points (146 - 140), read some books, worked on the garden (have a look at our new YouTube video - Toose Hoose Outside), painted a triptych for the lounge room, visited CMS Summer School and caught up with heaps of friends...

We had a great time. Mostly because we just got to hang out with each other for 2 week straight!
