Nana Dulcie comes to visit

Dean's Aunty Margaret is over from the States so we had everybody over for a bit of Sunday afternoon tea. We were happy Nana made the trip too, at 94 she does pretty well!!

Rutherford Preschool Multi-Cultural Night

Each year the kids preschool has a cultural night. Nathan was in a couple of little songs, they did a vegie haka - "Aporo Aporo, Panana, Panana, Kumara, Kumara, Kareti, Kareti - HI!!!" And in a story where he was one of the Waka paddlers :)

Ryoko's 21st Birthday

Bruce and Miriam have got a Japanese Student/Teacher staying with them for 2 weeks. To celebrate her 21st we took her out for dinner and showed her around the city at night. For some funny reason we took her to a Japanese restaurant, i'm sure she's had lots of Japanese food in her life, but hey, just in case she was missing it I guess?
