Thursday, 30 October 2014. No post in over a year - my first year of marriage. Want to try and actually live life and not just react to it. A worrying trend in our blogging age? Is this a blogging age? My wife installed a couple of weddings in Napa Valley recently, so I got to visit again.

Only God knows, but we did it when we were little, so Ben and Liam did it as well. This past week, Janelle, Ben, and I welcomed the fourth member to our family.

Based in Oratia, West Auckland and Kohukohu, Hokianga Harbour, Far North with our two cats, Milo and Earl. This is a space to keep family and friends around the world up to date with our adventures in this land we call home as followers of Jesus. With love, Dizz and James xxx. Summer of Fun and Frolicks Ahead. New Arrivals and Getting Back on Track.
