I'm afraid that you would not have received Xmas cards from us this year. Now over the last few years I have often not sent to those I know we will see over Xmas and have donated the money saved to the NSPCC however this year we won't see any of you and I still have not sent cards. I think you will agree though that we have been a little busy this last few weeks!!!
So this is to send you all very best wishes from the Tanner family. We wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas and a prosperous 2002. I wonder how many of you we will see before next Christmas?!
Well we have finally taken possession of our house. Note I say taken possession and not 'moved in' because we have very little to move in with. The kitchen is pretty well kitted out but the rest of the house is bare!! We went up there 9to Matamata) on the Thursday with Juliet, Kev., Hannah, Emma and the puppies and had a few bottles of bubbly on the deck and watched rainstorms moving all around us. Very dramatic. In fact Waikato met office issued a map of lightening strikes as there were so many. Matatmata and Cambridge were flooded.
Yesterday Eric, the girls and I went up there again to measure out some things, the pool area to see what size parapool we should be looking out for, and how far out we can extend Alice's bedroom. We think we can bring that out and then divide it into 2 longish narrow rooms and make a study/4th bedroom.
Today, Sunday, we took the 4 girls to Hamilton Zoo. It was quite nice, the area where they had the apes was particularly well done. We have only had one brief shower today and the weather is definitely improving. There has been a lot of patchy cloud but quite honestly when the sun is out it's so hot you are grateful for it! The prediction for the 25th is good so hopefully we will get our trip to the beach!
Thank you to those of you who sent Xmas cards.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Love Michelle, Eric, Harriette and Alice
