Icebergs and Thanksgiving

Well the past few weeks have been hectic!
The sound of helicopters has filled the air with the constant buzzing to and from the icebergs which are currently sitting off our coast line! And like all good mothers we decided one day last week to go and investigate after driving down to the tip of the peninsula I was incredibly anxious as the road is really narrow and winding! We arrived at Taiaroa Heads. No Icebergs apparently you had to be elevated! but the sight of albatross swooping and soaring was magnificent! Did I tell you it was blowing so hard that the wind could push you over almost! But watching the playfulness of these magnificent birds and all for free!
Well we headed home with two tired children!

Then this week Emily and I hit the road to our friends in Central Otago so I could work and Emily play with her friend Mae! They had a fantastic time! Work was okay! But watching these little girls play was just glorious!

On Saturday we had a lot to be thankful for! Our Friends Jacqueline and Lina arrived home from China! Lina is such a sweetie! and Jacqueline is just the essence of motherhood!
Other friends sold there house and Keith has moved into an office! I am not sure whether or not to be thankful for that!
But I am thankful for all my friends and family that support us! all my cyber pals around the world! and for my home with in its walls is my precious children and husband! I was hoping like most that Alice would be home but not to be! So another holiday passes and we wait! But like most things that we wait for! It is sweeter and more rewarding! so I hope the rumour queen is correct and that September is being matched! and that leaves only 3 more months worth! oh that means March referral! that would be sweet!
Hugs To you all!
I will post some photos soon!
Love Ruth
