Team Stroud

It's a new season. Time to fly

Amea says, bye bye 3 and hello 4

It's a little quieter in the Stroud house.
A couple of weeks ago Jacob moved out after taking a job in Te Kauwhata (working for Greg & Jane Percival at Farmbike Maintenance). Our talented photogragher friend kindly offered to take some family pics just before we dropped him off. Thanks Kirsten love your work @

Wow, Karyn just did her second ever post on Facebook. We all had a big family day, now driving to Wanganui. Strick instructions to leave the bike in the trailer though.

Don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy the moment.

It can be the most stressful time of the year, especially if it's all got to be perfect.
I've realised in making it all go to plan I miss some of the beautiful moments

My two year old who can just reach the mince pies, the look of my eldest when his youngest sister unwrapped his present for her - the largest toy elephant. Being with my family - all together - listening to the chatter, laughter and looks with another present of underwear.

We have today for; celebrating, serving caring and loving. May you be living and seeing your beautiful moments today.
Thank you Andrew for today and being in this busy, unique and beautiful family with me.
Thank you to all our friends and family for what you bring to our family - all of the beautiful moments.
Happy Christmas.

That's where the Nutella went.
...again

Amazing, we got everyone together at once for a photo. It's been a while since we've posted anything on here but as you can see we are all still alive, still all living under the same roof and all growing up by the day. Every day there's a new adventure, a new challenge and a new victory at the end of it. :-)
Be encouraged Mum's and Dad's, somehow it all works out just fine.

Nice evening walk along the river with Grandma and Grandad. ( not much luck with the fishing for though for Jesse and Caleb )

We're going to the zoo.....

Merry Christmas from the Strouds
