Christmas 2004

A Big Hello & Merry Christmas to everyone.

Can you believe the year has gone soooo fast. We have had a wonderful and really busy year.

Firstly, the arrival of our Noah on the first day of school. He is a gorgeous boy who is now 10 months old. He is not walking yet which is very nice for us, he thinks Lachlan and Daniel are hilarious and really enjoys them.

We are really enjoying our new home, keeping us very busy. We have 10 chooks, 3 ducks, 2 cats and Molly the dog so far. We did have a sheep for a while but she went back to the farm thankfully. We are planning to agist a horse over the coming weeks, should be fun.

We hope you are enjoying the Silly Season, we have had a few functions with and without the kids and it has been fun.

Lachlan has had a great year as a year 1 Possum, it is amazing how much they learn and grow in a short time.

He loves reading and is really coming along with his writing and drawing. He is a Treefrog next year and is so proud of being a big Grade Twoer.

Daniel is a very full on little guy, he will go to kindy two days a week next year with a few kids that he will go to prep with in 2006.

He just loves being out here on ‘the farm’, he is an outdoor boy and lots of fun.

In November Noah and I went to Tokyo with Jeff, for his yearly meeting. It was a whirlwind trip and it was great. Noah travelled really well and was a hit with the Japanese. My parents came to Gladstone to look after the big boys and the animals. They had a great time and were totally exhausted by the time we got home (the boys, Yai Yai and Grandy).

We are having Christmas in Yeppoon with the mad Green mob this year this year, and are really looking forward to it.

We hope everyone has a lovely safe Christmas and Jolly New Year.

Hope this year has been as good to you as it has to us and that Santa brings you all you desire!
