And sarah’s after party

Yummy lunch waiting for us at five loaves across the street from our house. Virginia made the amazing cake. 

Not pictured Peter, Virginia, Priscilla, Andrew, Allison,  and even michael via FaceTime. 





After a big rest, the girls had a quick swim at the school pool. W the cousins. 

Sarah’s birthday party!

Ice cream truck for the win. We arrived at the park and another party was setting up! We had to scramble to get a folding table (thanks to the cafe across the street and Andrew and van) and blankets for the ground (thanks sisters in law!). All in all a success. Happy sarah and happy attendees. 

Sarah’s birthday morning

Ballet gifts from daddy

Walked from Narrowneck to Takapuna

At low tide. I’m proud of us, me especially. 

Allison did actually help pull me up. Not sure Andrew needed the hand. This was the only spot that was tough.
