We all made it home safely...

Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful experience!!!  We are so grateful!

Fun with glow worms!

We spent the last day of our trip in Waitomo admiring the glow worms, swimming in the caves, inner tubing in the cold, cold water, and climbing up waterfalls.  It was adventurous to say the least and a great way to end the trip.

The only way to get to the water is to go down, down, down!

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

We LOVE surprises and love planning surprises.  We came home four days early from our trip (arrived in LA the morning of Dec. 1), enjoyed being reunited with Jeff's parents, sis/bro-in-law & their kids, and the family dogs for dinner; got my hair cut; took the train to San Diego excited to see my mum; and hopped on a plane to Washington to see the new mom & dad and baby Ezra!!!

We've been taking turns holding sweet little Ezra.  Glad we learned about sharing early in life, it's come in handy :>.

Proud mom & dad, how super cute is the Faith family!!!

Grandmas for the 1st time....do they look happy or what?
We already love this little guy sooo much, now he's in our arms as well as our hearts!
We are thrilled to be home and continue to feel like 4 months of traveling was just the right amount of time.  

More posts of New Zealand to come as well.

And of course we can't wait to have a "We missed our Family & Friends" party after the wonderful Christmas season.

Thank you Jesus for bringing us home safely!

Just like home...

It's so easy to feel out of sorts when traveling so in addition to sight seeing we have been doing the same things we would do at home.

I got this great Billabong hat from the Queenstown thrift shop.....love it!  Oh, it only cost $3, YAH!

Love It!
