Spring!

It is the first day of spring, by New Zealand reckoning, and it is a gorgeous day. The water is a brilliant blue green and, while not quite shorts weather, no jacket or sweater is needed. Kids are running screaming all around, and all is right with the world.

I'm a little behind in posting here, but I will catch up (so be sure to check "older" posts below this one for stuff I might add later, but I wanted all to know we are doing fine and enjoying things here very much.
