We made it!!! A long flight, but the best one we've had coming here.  Very little turbulence, and we managed to sleep during the night!!! 

Meeting and getting to know our grandchildren is wonderful! With skyping as often as we have been, there was no hesitancy on F's part in playing with us.

She LOVES her Bapa!

snuggling E, the six week old.  love the new baby smell!!!

Fresh flounder for our first supper, caught the evening before by her Uncle Adam

Tide's out!  Our 6:30 AM walk. A view of Nelson in the distance

One more sleep!!!!! One more sleep!!!

 One more sleep, and so much to do! Daughter and family are moved out and settling into their new home, house is almost ready for house sitter, errands are almost done and I'm getting excited!!!!

Our spare room is starting to look like this!!!

Our yard is beginning to look like it's ready for winter and our leaving!! Right now it's 13 C here and 12 C in Nelson!!! It's hard to leave our balmy weather at the end of October, but I'm quite sure by the time we get there, the temps in Nelson will be warmer than here!!! And we will be experiencing t-shirt and shorts weather!!!

This is where we are headed!!!
