Ball-Vant Family and Friends

As most of you know, when we lived in Boston Tycho spent most of his time with a little Brazilian cutie pie.  This photo just in from the cutie pie and her family at home soaking up the beach.  Guys, we miss you all so much – come visit.

Whoops, I thought Greg was keeping the blog up to date. It’s been a busy month and with Anne and Robin away in the South Island this week, a particularly busy last few days. Last Friday was my work Christmas party – a big swanky do at SkyCity (a casino/convention centre in the Auckland CBD). Courtesy of the children’s paternal grandparents, Greg and I actually both managed to go. Fancy, an evening out by ourselves! That day was also Greg’s birthday so on Saturday we had a bunch of family round for a BBQ lunch. And the weather even held out for us with some fitful sunshine.
Just a few days now until Christmas which will be our first in NZ since Tycho was five months old. It still won’t be quite a family affair though, with Arwen and Anthony still overseas – we miss you A&A.
