Family Matters

I was a little astounded to see how long it has been since I added to my personal blog. Social media is such a challenge with an interesting and busy work and home life! I thought I would just add a few family photos to show the changing face of our family. 

Tim (my eldest son) and his partner Kelly now have two children, bringing a great deal of joy to all of us. Just sharing a few family photos!! 

I received the first images of Isla when I was working in Hangzhou in China. I was sitting in the lecture theatre, when the photos came through. It was an emotional moment! Jane saw the photo and began to draw! See drawing image below.

Here is the family, Miller is filled with awe and wonder as he meets his new sister!

My first encounter when I arrived back in New Zealand. A visit directly from the airport to meet and hold baby Isla!!

A short time later with Tim, Miller and Isla!

Patrick comes home from Melbourne to meet Isla! 

 

The utter joy of both parenthood and grandparenthood! So wonderful to be part of the families journey. There is never too much love in a family and it just gets expanded with the birth of another child.
