Surprise, surprise!
This seems to be a recent theme in the Walsh family of late. Today, surprise struck again.
A few weeks back, Graeme and Sabrina decided to send Graeme on ahead to New Zealand before Sabrina for a two-fold purpose: to have surgery done on his knee(s) and also to surprise Nic on her birthday.
After guarding our words carefully for the last few weeks lest the secret slip out, we were at last able to tell Taylor today - after Nic went to work. She was so excited to hear that her Grandad was coming today, and that she got to go to the airport (one of her favorite places) with us to pick him up. We had a great day together, and when Nic got home from school, Graeme walked into the room......let's just say that the response was worth every bit of the anticipation. Nic was shocked!
Graeme is loving being back in New Zealand....I think we're going to have a hard time getting him on the plane to go home. But it looks like he'll be here for quite a while - especially if he does end up having the surgery. Lots of good memories made today; many more to come in the weeks ahead.
About Me
- Kristi Walsh
- Tauranga, New Zealand
- I'm a lover of Jesus, a wife, and a mom. That's what really matters. But I also get to do lots of other fun stuff, too, like help lead a leadership training program for young adults, lead worship, and occasionally preach and teach. In my spare time, I like to cook and bake, walk up 'The Mount', or curl up on the couch with a good book. I love what I do; there's not much about my life that I'd change if I could.
Our Family

Hey Graeme, I wondered who brought this Kansas type of weather to NZ!! Wellington all but shut down with gale force winds.
