Sketchy Thursdays...

I can't believe its been almost a week since my parents arrived.  We've kept busy with some sight seeing around town and a some of our normal daily/weekly routines like grocery shopping and school for the boys.  We are leaving tomorrow for a 2 day trip on the Southern Scenic Route.  It should be a great trip.  We are just hoping it doesn't rain too much since it seems to have settled back in.

I had a chance to finish up this layout the other day while my mom was scrapbooking with me.  Its nice to have her sitting across from me.  Sketchy Thursdays had a great sketch this week and I was excited to get this layout together.  I took these photos a few months ago on our picnic tea at Tunnel Beach.  As I was watching the sun set and my boys enjoying it and it struck me I live here.  New Zealand is so beautiful and we are so blessed to be able to live here and enjoy it as we work.  I hope I never get used to living here.  







I'll be back soon with more pages and of some of our trip.  Happy Today!  :)

    Those pics are amazing! You truly are blessed to be living there! Your layout is beautiful with all the layering. Don't worry if you don't get to reposting the award I gave you, I totally get it! I find it hard enough just to get my scrap blogs posted let alone anything else! I hope you're enjoying your time with your parents!
