Easter is great for family pictures. The 3 grandsons,
my eldest daughter Claudia and myself searched easter-eggs in the lawn. Little ones are exhausted after driving back from Italy whole day yesterday where theyvisited the other grandparents.
Picture 2 - me with one of my 3 sons

My 3 other kids weren't with us this time (the eldest son and his wife travelling Guatemala and Belize for belated honey moon, one of my twin girls still in New Zealand and the other travelling with friends inside Germany)
Have a good after Easter time - Maria

Marie is doing volunteering work for one year in St.Kevin's College in Oamaru and actually started volunteering in the Community Gardens there with basic school kids as well. Seems to be lots of fun...Easter sunday she picked up her German girl friend at Christchurch airport and they are now driving around the
Northern island of your beautiful country. May 2 they'll be back at Christchurch airport. Amelie will fly home while Marie wants to see a bit of Australia/Sydney for a few days and then she will return to the college when au-
tumn holidays are over. She is so in love with NZ and friendly people like you are. Thanks for asking :-) Maria

Thank you. I also find it interesting to look a bit behind the curtains of the other cuties. This community makes me feel being part of a big family which is lovely - therefore, it is nice to share :-)

Thank you, now that they are grown up it gives me even
more fun and time to see how they leed their lifes.
16906423282Great pictures. What a wonderful family. I'm in awe of those of you with more than 2 children....I found that was all I could handle.
You certainly raised some nomads, didn't you? Seems like your twins are always traveling. It's wonderful to see the world while you are still young and free.

Life with more than 2 kids is alright as long as they are healthy, I found out. You don't have to entertain them as they play with each other. If they are growing up you have a chance they even do "education" for the younger siblings.
Yes, they like to travel (this was my education probably; I sent them in their teen-age for holidays with sports and youth groups - so they learned to become independent) and then the eldest worked for Camp America 2x times, the youngest boy went to New Zealand, and so also the gilrs wanted to do something special. When they were children we didn't have the money to travel with 5 kids for holidays - I share your opinion definitely to see the world while young and free :-)
But it may be also interesting to travel now where I am old and free again - Hugs Maria

Thank you very much - but the lake is approx 2 hours drive from home - nice to go there from time to time!
173694Haha, just noticed - one of our family habits seem to close eyes but I blame it on the sun light :-( Sorry!
