And yes, we have known it for ages, but Gabrielle has decided to move back home to New-Zealand with her partner Simon. Most of you might have met her, but it suffises to say we have had a fantastic time with her.
She has been a teacher, a source of inspiration, mentor, play buddy and best friend for Juleen and Jasper. She has been there to guide, observe, help and inspire them in some of the most important steps in their lives so far, like walking, talking, potty training, cycling, reading, writing, starting school and playing musical instruments. We are very sad to see her go, but are thrilled for her that she is moving back with the best that life can give one, a Christmas baby is on its way, hurray! We will all truly miss her and have now a perfect extra excuse to make our way Down Under some time soon ;-).
