Bella's First Holy Communion

On Sunday Bella did her First Holy Communion. She wore the dress that Nanny and I wore when we did our First Holy Communion. She chose to have the confirmation name Francis (of Assisi) and Nanny was her sponsor. Her cousin Alex and her friend Kaylee were also doing their First Holy Communion. Here are some of the pictures from the event.

 

Zach's Disco

Zach went to his first school disco on Wednesday. It was an under sea theme so he went as a police diver. He was wowed by the whole event but really liked it especially the chocolate and glow sticks. When he got home he tried to set up Bella's disco lamp to keep the party going. Here are some pictures of him with his friends: Blake, Bohdi and Sakith.

Our Trip to New Plymouth to see Gwen

In the weekend we went to New Plymouth to see Gwen. Bella and Zach were lucky enough to have Friday off school. We packed light and picked up Nanny on the way. We stayed at the Flamingo motel which had a spa and very cold outdoor pool.

We visited Gwen at the rest home, went for bush walk, visited St Jospeh's church and clock tower, caught up with the Hills, enjoyed the pools at the motel, dined out, and scootered along the coastal walkway. The time went very quickly.
