Kawea sings with Burelli Singers from Brisbane




We were really excited when the Burelli Singers from Brisbane came to town. My niece is in one of the junior choirs in Brisbane, so it was nice to get to know the group. Kawea’s choir Auckland Boys Choir.

They sang in the Auckland Town Hall in the middle of the city. Nauvoo and Arama came to support also. We had a bit of a shop down Queen Street then helped out with the dinner for the choir members.

The ABC boys did really well. I really enjoyed the Burelli Choir, as it reminded me of when I went on tour to the USA, and brought back some wonderful emotions hearing their music being sung.  Tears welled up in my eyes several times hearing the parts, the emotions coming through the music. This was my passion growing up. Music was and still is my passion. Sooo fantastic. I was reminded of how I would love to have a choir like that run out here in Rodney District. One day…

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
