Our upsidedown world

in so many ways...on the other side of the world in New Zealand. But we have adapted wonderfully! so far, very little jetlag. Arrived at 6:30 am and even slept on the flight, and stayed up all day until a 9 pm bedtime. It is early spring here and the trees are in pink, white and red bloom- so different from the yellow and red leaves that are in process of falling at home.
And the grandchildren...so much more fun and activity than at home!
Katrina is 5 and a supremely confident, accomplished 5 she is. Loves games and art and dresses. Edward is 11 months and mobile in his ferrari- a wheeled contraption that negotiates everywhere in this house with no stairs. He has taken to us immediately which is a thrill for us!
Today we head to Tairua- the beach house just northwest of here on the Pacific Ocean. No internet there. Will update later
Off to more playgrounds, card games with penguin cards, long walks with strollers and fun with the family
