Visitors...

It's that time of year again when we have an influx of visitors and the trip to the airport becomes a regular occurence! This weekend we have been hosting Mike and Becky Breen whilst they have been in Auckland spending time with St Paul's guys as well as some others which are part of The order of Mission which Mike heads up. We've also had our friends Emma and Dan up from ChristChurch to see us and Mike which has been so nice.

(ED-THIS BIT IS FOR YOU!)
On Thursday the long awaited arrival of my brother Ed comes to an end! He will be the first member of my side of the family to meet Gracie and we can't wait! He is in New Zealand for about 5 weeks so Gracie will have plenty of time to bond with her uncle, although i know he has plans to continue his adventures exploring this beautiful country.

And then on Sunday our friends Wendy and Ian from Sheffield arrive. They will be staying with us for a couple of days before heading South to see Emma and Dan. So all in all it's a busy time for us, but it has been, and will continue to be really great to see so many friends and some family.

Oh, I just thought i'd add that Gracie is growing up so fast-here is a photo of her wearing a new top given to her by Rachael and her hair clip-very cute indeed! (Steffi, i will get a photo up of Gracie in the gorgeous top you sent her soon-promise!)
