CHRISTMAS 2010

Christmas this year was lunch at our house with my Dad (Pop) Danni, Jarrod, Aidan, Archer, Lyncoln, Tyler & Jacob and dinner at Rennae & Trav's. It seems to get smaller every year. I can't wait for next Christmas when we will be having it with Leah too. The boys having a "Cheers"

It's that time of year again....Christmas. I love Christmas. I think I love it even more because my Mum loved it too. But for some reason this year I am finding it much harder without my Mum. I miss her sooo much and would do anything to have her back. My piece of advice...Make the most of your Mother while she is with you, because things will never ever be the same once she has gone.

"I Miss you Mum & love you even more xxx"

PHOTOGRAPHY BY DEB - MAUI, HAWAII

Whilst we were in Maui, Deb my cousin flew over from Honolulu to take some photos of us. She is not only good at what she does, but she has the most gorgeous personality.

Thanks Deb for putting up with us all.

My Daughter!

My Daughter is the best! Just look how beautiful she is!

KYABRAM

In June this year Steve & I headed up to Kyabram to see some very old friends. Glenn & I have stayed friends for a long time as every October we use to go to his parents farm and stay for a week or so. We have always said we will go back up but as everyone knows you seem to get caught up in everyday life and your own family that time just gets away. Well this time we promied to make the effort, and we kept that promise. We had the best 4 days staying with Glenn, his wife Andrea & their 3 boys. (Their boys I might add are a credit to them, they have grown up to be very lovely boys.

MISSING LEAH....

It is 22 months since Leah left to go on a journey of a life time to live in Maui, Hawaii. I miss her more than words could say. I miss having coffee with her, and going shopping with her, walking with her and just MISS her.. I can't wait to see her again. Leah I love you and miss you soooooo much xxx

MOTHER'S DAY

Jeremy came down for Breakfast which we went to The Beach House.. It was lovely. After that we went to visit Nanna and then in the afternoon we went to Rennae & Trav's for arvo tea. Danni, Jarrod & the boys came over as did Dad. It was a lovely day in all. I was very spoilt and I received an Ipod Touch from the kids including Leah. Rennae gave me the Julie Goodwin cook book and made me an apron (but that is still on the unfinished pile of sewing)
