Good afternoon people!! I know I'm getting told off for not upating my diary but i have been so busy, now that I need to write it down nothing springs to mind what we have been up to. Well Carly is off to Thialand soon ( O yeah we had a dillema with her passport as she only had one month left before it expired and she has to travel with at least 6 months so we hastily sent it off down to Wellington and sighed a huge sigh of relief only to look at it and realised they haven't put her visa's in, OK think nearest office to us is probably henderson so off we race there to get them stamped in, phew!!!!! Then told need jabs at least one month before you leave so its in your system whoops!!!! Got to go to the doctor to order jabs first. She will be gone for 4 weeks home for 2 weeks and then she has an opportunity to go to Mongolia to help build a school for charity, so she's looking forward to that. The kids break up on Friday for Easter holidays and go back may 2nd. Billie-jo is playing netball, Jaden is playing football for his own team, Paige & Carly are playing in football teams of their own. At the Easter weekend there was 21 of us who went down to Rotarura, that was a fantastic weekend, mark turned 40, yes 40 so it was just a brilliant weekend. Our Summer is over and we are now in Autumn but we are still having lovely weather. Well we were until yesterday and today the heavens opened and it poured.

his hair? He says he will come home for a visit one day.

Gosh I can't believe I havn't written on my blog since the beginning of January, I seriously have a lot to catch up with. Well Mum & Dad have gone back infact its been almost 3 weeks since we took them to the airport, it was such a weird feeling not having them here. Since they have gone we have discovered that Marks Mum has breast cancer and she has been in hospital and had her op we are now waiting for the good/bad news they took out 4 nodes to be checked and we will get the results today so I have everthing crossed for her, its times like this that you wish you can magic yourself back. Well i have got myself in the swing of things at work and already working with 5 families which im told your only suppose to have 4 seeing as I'm part-time but its good.

Well I shall continue with my blog as many of you all are still reading and wondering how we are getting on. Just got back from our week away down in Taupo, so I shall update photos shortly. Thanks Mandy for photos of Grans party it was great looking at everyone and how they have changed, especially the children, keep them coming.
