Leaving, on a jet plane...

It is about 10:30pm NZ time and Chesley is down for the count...you guys will appreciate the fact that she actually fell asleep in her highchair while we were eating dinner (I think that everyone is WORN out) but after her catnap she was revived until just a few moments ago. She has been a wee bit out of sorts the last few days as she finally succumbed to the flu/cold that has been so graciously passed around.

Don't worry...I think that the group on their way across the pond is mostly on the mend. Just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that they departed Christchurch this afternoon @ 4:30pm. We were able to stay with them until they headed through security for their domestic flight to Auckland. They were scheduled to layover for about 90 minutes (in which time they needed to pay their departure taxes, and switch terminals) and they were scheduled to depart Auckland for SFO @ 7:30pm. I am assuming that no news is good news and that they are about 3+ hours into their Trans-pacific journey. Home before you know it...

Now that we are not moving around quite as much, Matt & I will endeavour to update the blog. There are numerous posts that have been written, but we were unable to post due to poor connections. We will try to organize and post in the next few days. Also, I know that our most recent posts have been a wee bit wordy...we will try to lighten things up with pics and videos too. Moral of the story...it isn't over yet!!! Don't be a stranger...there is still so much more to share.

And to those Mums & Dads, husbands, significant others, families reading this...we are already missing your young growers!!! It was our pleasure to show them around the South Island!!!

Cheers, Mary (Matt & Baby Chesley)
