So, technical difficulties - here's hoping this posts and that it doesn't completely reformat itself, but if it does, lets blame it on the internet situation in Napier, shall we?
Okay folks, here (finally) are some pictures to go along with posts--- yeah, it's time to get caught up! At this point we are back from a lovely four days spent in Wellington and are now enjoying lots of tea and family time at Branwyn's in Hawkes Bay. (This also means lots of Henry time, so prepare for an onslaught of cuteness as the photos follow!! :-)
But first, to back up a little and catch up some with Clare's last post, here are some pictures from our way down to Wellington, our stay there, and then on to the sheep!
A little slice of corrugated heaven from the town that knew no limits:
And then we went to the Zoo:
Monkey see, monkey do...
I had to sneeze...
This one's just ridiculous.
The all-time favorite pick. How could you refuse a face like that? So full of gratitude...
Oh well, at least he lets us fawn over him. <3 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQb0kCVzUqflQ_agcTGT4_QKe0j4005ST55jplMDLt4oFlk95Pb_ngG50OcNoh-_9EHOaG3fsGfCqo2yLeZsRT96Bp_e093StIVaHka3YgwAC_I-F95QG-zodSWweEiYMbb1m8dpuiKU1/s1600-h/Clella+020.jpg">
So inquisitive...
...to a fault!
Weeeee..!! Who's having more fun in this picture? Hard to tell, I know.

Neeeext:
We met some truly lovely folks in Wellington (Windy City shoutout) who welcomed us into their home for many a meal, cup of tea, discussion of politics, and excellent tours around town!
From left - Alex, Ella, Christiane, Alastair, Clare.
Missing are two key sibs Anna and Helen!
This one's for mom: New Zealands own, Tuatara. Lucky for us Anna and Alastair's university had some on display, otherwise it would have been quite a feat to find one.
Branwyn's stomping ground at sunset.
Newly arrived, soaking up sun in Branwyn's backyard....sigh, that's right, sun in November!
BRUNO!!! (see Clare's last post)

Baby Henry all grown up with a nice mustache/bearch combo like his daddy...

Look at the camera Henry. Come on, I'll even point.
Happiest of all with mom (Branwyn, for those unknowing) - the harems just for show.

Question of the blog post: who's cutest - Henry or Bruno? (Let's just not tell Branwyn and Brent about this little question, eh? ;-)

A question for Brent: at what age does a lamb become mutton?
Do they have sheep dogs? If so, what kind?
Thanks for the great ideas with the corrugated steel. I just put in an order with Cowles to have a truck load delivered. The house and garden will be really beautiful when you get home!
