Easter prep

First big assignment was handed in this morning so you will understand why things have been a little quiet on the blog front. Plus Zach had a day off school on Tuesday as he came down with a temperature and headache, short term but added to the business. Chris stayed home and I went and took notes!!!

Ohope was a lovely and significant time away. The marae there is a lovely setting, we used one of my songs (a lot!), enjoyed spending time with our fellow ministers in training and even had some down time. I also found time to write 3 or 4 songs so it really was a productive time! We enjoyed getting to know John Daniels, the new national resource person and he has invited me to sing/use "You O Lord" at his induction on the 14th April. Cool! He is also putting a music resource together for parishes in Otago and Southland so he may use one or two more for that. Very Cool!!!

We are enjoying a quiet Easter at home. It will be funny not to head off to Easter Camp but we are looking forward to decorating eggs and some special cooking treats. Yum.

Katarina danced in a concert today at school which we were able to go and see. I am very proud as it is not easy to get up in front of your peers. The school has been having lots of fundraisers for next week's camp. Katarina organsed a water fight!! She even managed to convince people to pay to take part. She will go a long way...

Zach is back to being fighting fit, enjoying school and all his new friends. Hannah has started to bring home letters and sounds she is learning at Montessori and is also spent several dry nights without a nappy. Big news indeed.

Janine is now rostered on crossing patrol after school and continues to do a fabulous job getting us organised in the morning, including makiing lunches, not only for herself but for Katarina and Zach as well. She is awesome.
