An Oregon Family Living in New Zealand. Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Aftershocks and more aftershocks and. Christchurch has never been seen as a big risk for a large earthquake. There is the Alpine Fault which runs along the spine of the South Island and is quite active. There are also the Porters Pass fault and the Hope fault which are a good distance from Christchurch. However, get this:. Are you effing kidding me? How unlucky are we to have been part of an event that hasn't happened for 16,000 years?

An Oregon Family Living in New Zealand. Friday, November 20, 2009. Expect the Unexpected Part II. Thursday, November 19, 2009. Mike's Big Day Out. Under 20" long.

As I was by myself, I was of course unable to get photos of any of these beautiful rainbows, but the scenery was not so bad either. Sunday, November 15, 2009. We had a splendid meal of veggie frittata.

An Oregon Family Living in New Zealand. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Forgive us for being poor bloggers. Per our previous posts, we have had a few curve balls thrown at us- a parent dying and a quick trip back to Oregon for Cara and single parenthood for 3 weeks for me. Cara arrived back on the 11th and went right back to work and we mostly have settled back into "normal" life in Aotearoa. The next day (Boxing Day, a new holiday for us yanks) was spent at the beach in Sumner, building sand castles and wa...
