A new post is long overdue, however our activities have been pretty low-key for the last few weeks. Our weekends have been spent around Auckland, enjoying the beautiful weather as summer is approaching. Despite being in the Southern Hemisphere for almost a year now, it continues to be strange how the the seasons are reversed. Halloween came and went, without the same excitement that we are so used to. Partly due to the longer days and warmer temperatures, and partly due to the fact that they just don't celebrate/commercialize the event. It just didn't feel like Halloween. We did have a few kids come by, dressed in a mix-mash of costumes that wouldn't compare to our own at home. They seeked out "lollies" and received chocolate- not sure if they were happy with that. No pumpkins, no scary houses, and unfortunately no costumes for us this year.
The last couple of weeks have been amazing with the weather. Warm, sunny days are now the norm, with no crazy downpours interrupting our activities. We've been in the pool, and Georgie (and, more importantly, mama) have been loving the freedom of the outdoors.
We're trying to take advantage of the backyard, and Georgie has had some friends over for tea. Her hosting skills need some work, but at least her guests are at about the same level- spilling drinks everywhere and eating food off the ground.
