We had a cultural night at church, where everyone created a display of their home countries, and made food, sang songs, etc. This is our Australian display. And Adam and his friend, Thomas at the Vietnamese display. It was a great evening, and the Aussie kids held a Waltzing Matilda sing-a-long, acting out the story as the song went along. Probably quite mystifying for everyone not familiar with the song, as Josie, dressed as a sheep, got shoved in a big rubbish bag, struggling in time to the music. The Bamboo Grovers are an Aussie family who live in New Zealand. The following is a reverse chronological sampling of their memories-in-the-making.

Happy Birthday, Rich!
This is the view from my spot at the dinner table each night. I am so grateful to be married to Rich and for our family. Note the Buzz Lightyear suit has resurfaced after all these years!
Happy Birthday, Grace!

Road Trip to Rotorua
We decided to get away for a few days and headed off to Rotorua. We had a great time there, mostly playing in the pool and chilling out in the hotel.
