Kahurangi borrowed my phone to take some photos at Te Papa on Saturday, not too bad for a 4 year old.

Some kids have a soft toy, like his big brother did, but Ata is quite happy hugging a giant spider to go to sleep.


Last week the family and I travelled up to South Taranaki

While I spent three days training a bunch of enthusiastic and smart Librarians how to drive Koha


Laurel and the kids explored the surrounds including Patea

And some of the gorgeous black sand beaches of the area

A story told in pictures.





This is what happens when you tell your 4 year old to smile for a xmas photo

Kahurangi’s cousin Te Manaia rang him tonight to ask about his trip. This is how the conversation went.
Manaia: How was america?
Kahurangi: It was good, I can talk america talk
Manaia: America talk, how does that sound?
Kahurangi: Bing dan ding
Manaia: wow!
So there you have it all my american friends, thats what you sound like to a nearly 4 year old nz boy.

After Kahurangi played football this morning (he scored a goal!) we went to the Phoenix open day at the stadium. Kahu’s favourite bit was getting to go into the changing rooms.
