Back to work

Over the summer, all sorts of routines go out the window - bed times, breakfast times, and blogs! We've had a relaxed and cruisy summer, one without the lengthy travel that usually characterizes our holiday breaks. We've spent a few days relaxing at Kakanui and Omaru between Christmas and New Years, and Chris and I took Zach and Hannah to Wanaka for a few days, but the rest of the time has been at home.
We've enjoyed having Janine and Katarina both home for the holidays. I took Janine to Christchurch yesterday and she is spending the rest of this week in Hamilton before heading off to Parachute (whoop, whoop!)
Katarina is on child minding duties as Chris and I are both back at work.
Zach has been playing a lot of "Minecraft", but we've managed to drag them away from technology to go swimming, kayaking, and visit friends.
Last week was busy with lots of extras, including Katarina's friend Imogen from Dunedin, our niece Katherine, back from London for a bit, and our niece Bridget visiting from Christchurch.
