Today marks the 11th anniversary since we arrived as a little family on Norfolk Island!
I am attempting to write a list of all the community activities and events we have contributed to but ran out of time to list them all.
I cannot express how lucky we feel we are to share the natural beauty and customs of the traditional Norfolk Islanders of Pitcairn descent. Thaenks Yorlye for the support and upbringing of our children.
It should feel like a heavy heart to be leaving you but I have a light heart from being a better person after being a part of this wonderful island community.
It was an exciting sort of island day starting with breakfast at Emily
bay with our ukulele band and tahitian dancing friends. Then a quick
trip to the pier to see the last channel 7 sunrise weather taping for
the weekend. Brandt played a surfy santa in the background and then lived out his dream by swimming with the local sharks.
Back to
Emily bay for a safer swim before heading to the airport at lunchtime.
Today we also welcomed our number one son home after 6 months away.
We have missed him so much.
Back down the beach to see friends and Siennas year six graduation party until after sunset and then home for dinner.
The kids have been chatting to each other playing catch up ever since.
In only Its funny how one plane 11 years ago brought us here to the island, now another one brings our son back after an absence. My friend Karen was on both planes too. 1st as the air crew and today as a passenger.
In 30 days time we depart, this time with an extra child who wasn't even thought of in the top photo. This will always be another home for our children, you haven't seen the last of us Norfolk Island ♥
