Apologies for the delay with updates. We are a bit behind ourselves, but today I have a good internet connection so am posting a bunch of updates in a "belated" fashion :-)
Well after 19 hours of travel (from when we left Christchurch) we finally arrived at our friends, Bill & Cathy Phillips home in Lancaster, California. The flight went pretty well considering, but not much sleep all round. The little ones slept, but the others were too excited I think, and Becky and I were too 'wired' from all the rush and busyness leading up to getting on the plane. However, we were grateful for the sleep we did have. We had 2 nights in Lancaster, then our 3rd night was in a hotel near the airport as we needed to get up at 3am to leave for the airport again to fly to Denver, Colorado. Here are some photos...

Our family with Pastor Bill Phillip and his wife Cathy - great friends of ours. Last time we saw them as a family we just had Sarah at 8 months old - so a big change since then! Bill was my first pastor just after I got saved in LA in 1994, and was so instrumental in encouraging me to love God and His Word. Bill and Cathy also came to the UK in 1998 and took part in our wedding - a great reunion!
