Clare, Marco & Joshua’s Highlights 2014
Dear Friends and Family
Where has the year gone!
The year started off with a big celebration as Marco turned the big 50 and a surprise party was held at a restaurant called Vinyl Bar where classic seventies music was played and 30 of our friends came and enjoyed a fun night out.
Joshua has transformed this year becoming a young teenager and he is nearly the same height of his mother!
Joshua’s contributed in his school’s main play for the year – ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ and he he thoroughly enjoyed his role managing the lighting and sound.
Joshua had his last year at Maungaraki School and will be going to Hutt Valley High School . There will be a transition period with getting used to coming from a small school of 300 to high school of 1700!
A farewell leavers night was held for senior pupils with a theme based on Dr Seuss ‘The Places You Will
Go!’ With social dancing and the last dance to be with their mum or caregiver.

One of the main highlights for Marco and I was our world trip starting in Bangkok then Netherlands where time was spent visiting Marcos dad Rinus and brother Frank , Lara and their two boys.
We enjoyed going to Goteborg , Sweden staying with good friends Yvonne and Bernard who were very kind and hospitable . We enjoyed going to a Summer Burst Festival in Sweden where there were top trance DJs . To name a few Teisto and Martin Garrix .
Our final destination was visiting Annemaire , Ron and Isabella in Atlanta. We enjoyed seeing Isabellas new unversity in Athens which is like a small city!
It was lovely to see my sister and where she lives and to be part of helping them move to their new beautiful home.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hugs and Love with Warm Wishes
