Hi gemma and hayden. we spent the day down at Kevin and Jo's in Ashburton.As it was childrens day today Liam thought he got to dictate the rules so we had a picnic lunch at Ashburton Domain and then all the kids( Kevin Stevensons Rebecca and Jills Jessica, Gina and Greg from the States Brodie and Lydia, who are now 11 and 8 and Liam and Kady) had fish and chips on Jo's front lawn, picnic style for tea. Diane and John, Lorraine and ross, Graeme and Julie all went down today too and picniced with us as did Aunty Maree and Shari and Paulettes nkids who then went home to Chch with Shari as all the aunties and uncles were staying in caravans and motels down their tonight. We came home and will go back down in the morning for the funeral. It was alovely time to all be together and Liam really enjoyed playing with his cousins. Just really sad that the occasion for us to be all together wasnt a pleasant one. Its 7 years since all Kevin and Jo's family have been together.Aaron and Anna came back to. Anna is now 17 weeks pregnant and has this tiny wee bump; she due early in August and wants Jo to go to London to be with her before she has the baby. They shift back here in October to live after almost 6 years away. Aaron has been going lots of mountain biking aroung England. Gary has been busy making a power point presentation of Kevin for the funeral service and a speech about his siblings stories of Kevins life growing up. will talk to you tomorrow night to catch you up with all the other bits. We ran into Jeannie and Barry Godfrey on our travels last night. hayden is having surgery next week for a blocked artery in his groin and a stent put in. He has to go to wellington to have it. The wedding went well. Take care and enjoy your day off Hayden. your turn to get down on your knees and scrub the floors while Gemma works eh?Maybe fit in a training ride too.Love you both from Cridland St
