New house/Disneyland/family photos

My siblings-May 2010
Memorial Day 2010-Grandma and Grandpa Vandyke's graves

So these pics of our house in Co Springs are not very good, they're pretty blurry, sorry about that. Our camera is having issues but I was being asked to put them up, so here it is.

Kitchen


Main living room
laundry room-obviously.
Dining room-which we don't use since we have no dining table.
Lizzy's room
Grace's room
Downstairs living room-kids playroom
Not sure how this made it in here, Lizzy took a picture of her dolls, aren't they beauts.
Gracie as a bunny.


Just about every afternoon there are deer hanging out along the side or in back of the house, just chillin in the shade. They're pretty but we keep our distance.

So there is the house, we haven't done much in the way of decorating, but there's quite a bit of room, so peeps can come and visit!

Cousins....Utah visit


Anna, Lizzy, Mason, and Grace. Getting these kids to look at the camera and smile at the same time was no easy feat.

Shelly and Lizzy, double trouble.
Lizzy, Grace, and Shelly at the creamery.

The girls with their fun aunt Becca.
The Gardner/Schofield clans; Grace, Lizzy, baby Emily, Shelly, and Jason.
This was Rob's doing, naturally.

Things we love about New Zealand...



Lizzy with her teachers from kindy.


Lizzy's kindy class

The beaches...the kids will miss them.

The people and their proud heritage







The incredible views





It is a bittersweet feeling to know we are leaving this country so soon. There is much we will miss. We have met some wonderful people and enjoyed being close to so many beautiful lakes, beaches, and countryside. I hope at some point in time we will be back to visit the people and places we have come to love here. Yes, leaving is bittersweet. I love this picture, the sheepy seems to be wishing us a fond farewell. We will miss you too sheepy! =) Here's to another beginning.
