Last weeks soccer

I really tried hard to get a pic of Joe hitting the ball... not too much ball contact so not so many photo opps. However the boys played well and won by a healthy margin (11-3) Note the coach getting a good run around - go Cam!

Most disliked job...

Before... and after. An hour of complete boredom only to be back to its natural state of chaos in less than half the time it took to tidy...
At least I found some plates that had been missing in action for a few weeks.

Cindy and Daisy rediscovered

When in Dunedin recently Mum gave me the cruel ultimatum, pack up Cindy and Daisy along with their assorted clothing and paraphanelia and ship them back home or they were out with next weeks rubbish. Couldn't let that happen! Brought them out this week when Claudia was here and the boys were just as thrilled as she was. Nick and Hamish quick smart ditched the lago for an afternoon with the girls.

Tree planting day at Motuihe Island

Ricoh's green initiative is a day planting native seedlings at a beautiful nature reserve in the Hauraki gulf for both staff and clients. We always have a fantastic time and this year the kids were so into it, wanting to see where last years plants were and getting right into the planting.
The BBQ lunch and beers went down a treat, as did the lolly scramble and the cricket.

1st day of soccer

It was pouring with rain, it was freezing but the budding david beckhams were keen as mustard... as you can see from the photos! Anyway Barcelona won the day 9-2, a fantastic result which definatley helped improve keeness for future games.

In Dunedin

Nana is moving house so these are the last pics of Luke St.
When we dropped into Rochelle and Malcolm's farm it was calving time so city boy Joe was very excited to help bring a couple of calves in.

All in a days work for Ella, Jimmy and Henry!

Autumn in Clyde
