Migrations...




 
Mmm. Hello world.

Among other things, our blogging efforts have migrated here:

Consider this post a farewell to Nurf Adventure Trails, and a springboard towards greater, stranger things :)

The Bear...





Still Adventuring...

Hello world.

It's been a while. A long while actually. Elsje and I were speaking this week about how we need to resurrect this blog. It's been a very intense few months since October. I've been working at technology start-up in Wellington run by 3 Dutch surfers. They're very cool guys to work with and it's been extremely rewarding, but also very hard work.

Elsje has had her hands full taking care of Harry full time, and has recently taken on another baby for in-home care.

Harry's really grown (his first tooth just poked through this week!) and is turning in to quite a robust little boy. He's trying to stand and walk - and also falling over a lot - and he's starting to talk too! He'll be celebrating his first birthday in just over a month...

So yeah, the past seven months have been pretty full-on, with life demanding all our attention all of the time. It's been a different kind of adventure, one that has been lived silently, and simply.

And as a result this poor blog has been woefully neglected.

But as the title boldly states, we're still up for adventure! In fact, there might just be a little something on the horizon...

In the meantime, here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

We were lucky enough to be travel to Africa over December and January - the first time we'd been back in over two-and-a-half years. And it was fantastic!  Harry got to meet his grandparents and the rest of our rather extensive extended family and it was really special being able to catch up with old friends and touch the land again. Ah yeah, there's nothing like the sweet relief of home...
