Accent check

Patsy's comments make me laugh! I'm still working on the whole house decision. It turns out there's quite a crack in the foundation, so there's an engineers report to get. As per my mother's request, here are some straight out videos of the family, often with affected kiwi accents. (Mom says that I shouldn't let the scenery get in the way of the children.) Because of this, these might be extraoridinarily uninteresting for those of you not blood relatives, so watch at your own peril (Nancy, you can watch with Dad and Jamie on a Wednesday night...).


The news here from me is that the summer seems to have (at least briefly) returned. I switched the summer quilt to a winter one and then back again, trying to go with the weather and failing. Our dear friend Rob is coming to stay with us tomorrow (he's on a plane across the Pacific right now), and I'm starting to worry about my trip to the US in a couple of weeks. Fuller reports coming: tomorrow is the first day of soccer for the kids. Any other requests for things you'd like to see or hear about?
