“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11
We are back from a most wonderful weekend on Waiheke Island!! YAY. Lots to say but we had a nice relaxing time and met some new friends. Aria had a great time too and it really helped her being around new people and new experiences. Lots of new words and confidence.
For Hamish and I it was great to get out of the house and away from reality. It was great. Fresh air and peace and beautiful food and lovely people. Could you ask for more? The Jansens look great care of us and we feel very privileged.
AND we got home and Hamish’s mum had blitzed our house from top to bottom, including doing all the washing (which was heaps). We can back to this amazing clean and tidy house, I also didn’t recognise it!!
So this weekend we got given the gift of relaxation and the gift of a tidy house. Two HUGE things that greatly contribute to us getting back on top. Thank you so much to the Jansens and Christine, we are blessed to have you in our lives.

So glad you had a great time at Waiheke, and what better than to come home and find that your house was sparkling and all the washing done! What a fabulous ‘Christine Fairy’ you have.
