BMX bails

Well, son no.1 has taken up BMX at the local bike-park. He has proved to be a real boy in the last month with 3 spectacular bails. Here's the 1st one:




Thankfully no serious injury: Look mum:-)



2nd Bail meant a ride home in a ute, a trip to the clinic for a sprained foot, crutches for a few days and a day off school.

3rd Bail was an ambulance trip to the hospital for 9 stiches in a fleshy-cut under the knee :-(

He told the nurse he'd be back in a few weeks with a broken leg. I am hoping he doesn't keep his promise. And I am grateful for helmets.

Time given to inner renewal is never wasted

That's a quote from Henri Nouwen in a devotional book I just got out called Dare to Journey with Henri Nouwen by Charles Ringma. I believe it, I just need to practise it more. He is drawing me in.

Happy Auckland Anniversary Day

It's Auckland Anniversary day today. We are on holiday anyway, but it is nice to have fewer cars on the road. Also the boys have won a night at the Auckland Zoo, a fantastic zoo.

We drop them off at 2.30pm and pick them up at 9am tomorrow.

They are so excited!
