Christchurch Mornings

Mornings at home in Christchurch usually find Kelly and me in our pajamas well past noon, catching up on the New Zealand soap, "Shortland Street," or buttering up our daily toast. Gail often drops by to dote on baby Nikita, dancing her all around the house and singing songs from "The Sound of Music" in her beautiful voice. Roxy, the toast-loving Jack Russell terrier, is always close by. This little house at the beach has been such a warm and restful vacation spot for me, and I am so thankful to Gail and Kelly (and Nikita and Roxy) for welcoming me into their family life. Below are some shots from my last Tuesday morning on Ballance Street.
