The Return!

The girls on 90 Mile Beach

In 50 days we return to Canada after almost 8 years in New Zealand. Our family has grown to five now with our three girls - Emma (12), Naomi (6.5), and Hannah (4.5). We have met many friends and enjoyed the adventure. Now a new adventure calls us north. Craig will begin work at Appleby College in Oakville in January. We have rented a home in nearby Milton and enrolled all three girls in the local primary school. For the first time, they can all walk to school.

On Tuesday the movers come to begin packing us up. Wednesday the container leaves our house on its long trek around the globe. Apparently we can track the container online!

Cape Reinga. Next stop: Vancouver (11,222km)

While it is an exciting time, it is also a sad time. We have all made wonderful friends and will miss them. However, with modern technology (like this blog) we do hope to keep in touch.

We look forward to being closer to family and seeing snow. We will miss the beautiful New Zealand summers and beaches and our friends here. However, we hope to see a few Kiwis in Canada in the future!
