Mayhem
Katarina was in Stage Challenge which meant practises all day Sunday and an early start down at the Town Hall on Monday morning. I went to the performance that night (KJ was there all day and didn't come home) and it was fantastic. 9 schools performed, a very diverse collection of themes and costumes, good effort by all. Columba came 4th with a performance of 4 of the 7 deadly sins. Katarina had Tuesday at school and then another early start to have her at school by 6:15 for her school camp. They are off to Deep Cove (somewhere in the Deep South) and will be back on Saturday. The trip is a long one, bus and then boat across Lake Manapouri.
I spent Tuesday travelling for a meeting in Auckland, this is part of my new role as studentsoul (national) facilitator. We are looking at planting new student congregations on campuses around the country and I will be helping that to happen. Very exciting.
Janine is continuing to quietly keep on top of things at school and is a big help at home, especially on Saturday, our chore day, as she is the only one not playing sport then. She is really into baking which is becoming increasingly unaffordable with the rise in the cost of butter for example. She has settled well into Columba.
Zach continues to organise his afternoons. He rang me on Tuesday, when I was in a taxi on the way to the airport, to ask if two friends could come over, having forgotten that I was away until that night! Yay for cell phones I guess.
And Hannah is just a honey. She is currently wearing a pink 'onesie' to bed, which is very cute. Chris just showed me one of her drawings, which is some ways is a typical six year old drawing and in others ways is absolutely stunning. Hannah was very earnest about Mother's Day, to the point of making me breakfast in bed along with handmade chocolates (thanks Opoho School) and several cards, which say things like "I love you mummy, so, so, so, so much".
Chris is in the midst of things, organising a Passover Meal for 70 this weekend at Church, which is going to be quite an experience. He preached at Martin Macauley's induction last Thursday, which went well.
