I had a very special birthday this year. Twenty-six delightful hours after boarding a plane in drippy, pre-spring Seattle, I found myself in dusty, post-summer New Zealand.  Sister Julie and her wee ones, almost 3 year old Jack and 4 month old Charlie welcomed me and let me share in their days. Of course I wish we all lived closer, but when your time is limited, you make it count. The adventures that followed were documented (mostly) in the following photos, which I would like share with family and friends. I guess it takes a two week hiatus from life as usual to inspire the blog back to life!
