Meeting some Rellies

On Monday the 28, we went to a retirement village where my great aunt and great nan lived.

We were going there to drop Granddad there, (he is going to live there for the next week) we were also going to meet the rellies.

So Granddad told dad the way, (which I thought was pretty good seeing that he doesn't come over very often) and when we arrived, we met our great nan, she then showed us the way to the lounge where we waited a bit for my great auntie Val (lets call her val for short).

When val arrived, she made us a cuppa tea, and we sat and talked.

I think we stayed there for a couple of hours.

After that we left granddad there.

When we got home, I missed granddad already.

Luckily, he will come back for a week before he leaves.

Granddad Arrives

On the 23rd, my Granddad (on my mothers side) arrived from Aus!

He was a bit jet lagged, but he didn't go to bed until normal time.

He slept in my room, so i slept on a air mattress in the office.

We've had a good time with him so far, playing cards, and going to the park.

On Monday, we are going to drop him off at a nursing home where his mother and sister live.

New Brighton

On the 21st of April, we went to New Brighton for Mum's B'day.

We arrived at lunch time and so we found a place to have lunch.

After lunch we had a walk around New Brighton, we could see the ocean, and we there was a beach!

We were going to go to Fort Perch Rock, but it wasn't open.

In all, I think that mum enjoyed her B'day, and I enjoyed it too!

Happy Birthday Mum

Happy Birthday Mum.

I really love you and the things you do for the kids and I!

Remember, we always love you!

Sunday Reading

At the Sunday night service yesterday, i did a reading, it went well, my lines are in red.

Matthew 5

The Beatitudes

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Chicken Soup

On the 8th, we were sitting down to dinner, when Jake backed into the soup i was carrying.

The soup burnt his back and dad took him to hospital.

When he came back, he showed off his burn vest.

Here's some photos.
