Stunning Summertime

What. A. Summer!  I have loved every minute of the Auckland summer this year.  The weather has been Ah-Mazing!!  We moved into a really fantastic house down the street from a fantastic park with a fenced in playground AAAAAANNNNNDDDD, we have a heat pump in one room -- saves prego's soul on days that are just a little beyond the windows open alone!! Our garden is walled for little boys to run naked in and our house is glass which is a good reminder of how to live our lives!

After yesterday's weep for me fest, I thought I would share some images with you so you could see just how great it has really been...

First there was Christmas...

And the summer holidays...

Then we got moved in and settled into daily life again.  Yes, that is a cutting board of the state of Indiana (made by Whetstone -- my fav!  Thanks to the in-laws for the awesome Christmas gift).  Not long after we moved in I roasted beets and had to laugh at the irony of this image -- Indiana, red state.

We have visited lots of parks

That is my husband at the top (my biggest, little boy)

We've had lots of friends to the new house.

And bid 'bon voyage' to others

Explored our new surroundings

Celebrated being American with events like the Superbowl

Lots of walks (and rides) to the beach

Playtime

And we have a good start on decorating the boy's lounge 

More to come as we begin to say goodbye to summer (say it ain't so!!)...

Cheers!
