Catching up.

Yes, I know it's now May 2010 but this means we're well overdue for a blog post! Thanks to our new broadband internet connection, we can now upload photos in seconds rather than hours so will be updating the blog regularly again.

A lot has happened since April 2009...

...Lily turned 1...

...Iris turned 4...

...Phoebe turned 3...

...we had a mini O'Donohue familiy reunion when cousin Catherine and her hubby Ed visited from Cape Cod...

...and a mini Knowsley family reunion when cousin Fleur visited from New York...

...a great Christmas...

...we rode new bikes...

..well, some of us did...

...saw cousins in Taupo...

...and welcomed Tessa Daisy into our family.

A match and a hatch

Our friends Claire and Jeff chose Waitangi Day to wed. Our whole tribe was invited to help celebrate at the Berhampore Bowling Club. Despite the wind, it was a gorgeous day. The wdding ceremony was followed by bowls, or in the kids case, running on the great green expanse of the bowling greens. Dinner for the kids (25 seated around the kids table and this wasn't counting the babes in arms, talk about child-friendly!) was followed by a delicious meal and speeches before Claire's specially prepared CD of eighties music was blasted out over Berhampore. Congratulations Claire and Jeff, we wish you all the best!

Congratulations are also in order for our friends Emma, Emanuele and Marcello who welcomed a new daughter/sister into the world last Tuesday. I know they check in here every now and again so am sure they won't mind proud big brother Marcello and Alice making a guest appearance via a photo nicked from Emanuele's facebook album!

Who is the cutest of them all?
