God Is Good !

We have gone through the waiting game of finding out if Alyse is changing classes at school. We love her teacher. She is so personable, friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. She speaks LIFE over the kids and we Love that. We are hoping for a great year this year for Alyse.

We were praying really hard about this knowing full well that God knows whats best for our precious girl.

Another test of faith, trust and relying on God for his best for our family.Trusting in Him is the absolute best thing you can do for our family, he'll never let you down.

Wellington Point.

We had a great day with Aunty Susan, Chloe, Josh grandma sue and grandad Kevin at Wellington Point. We went walking to the Island but decided it was too far so we had a swim instead. Anthony found a crab but it was already dead Alyse thought we could still eat it for dinner, Not likely.

It was a fun day and great to catch up with the family and our little cousins. Chloe and Josh are sooo cute. Brooke wants to know when is Chloe going to be big like her and be able to talk?

Our girls love to talk something that I'm sure will servie them well when they are older but right now I think others may finds it a little annoying.

We love our girls!

Can you believe a whole year has flown by. Goodbye Prep Hello Year 1.
Alyse has a fantastic teacher we really LOVE her and we hope Alyse will keep her. Waiting to see class numbers and she may have to go to a new class as they've had lots of new enrolments this year. Praying that doesn't happen. I think we had our bad year last year, Surely!!!

Anyway some exciting news we had our first lot of Homework(I know I'm Sad aren't I?) and first readers. Alyse actually read a whole sentence(from Memory I think). We were so excited!!! She wants to read so badly and has started that whole comparing herself to others, not good hey! Now there's a life lesson I hope to be able to teach her about. Trust me it's so not worth it!

Brooke has started in the Pre-school room at childcare and is loving it! She is missing her precious friend Kahlia who has had a serious accident and has been in hospital for 1 1/2 weeks. Get better and come back soon Kahlia!!

Kimberley is starting Year 9 can you beleive she is nearly 15 and will start working at Maccas in April. Imagine that kimmi and Ant working together and he could be her trainer should be interesting....

Anthony is starting a pre-apprenticeship course in March and is hoping to gain an apprenticeship as a carpenter come August/September. You wouldn't recognise him now. He's taller than Kev with bright Blonde hair thanks to his Cousin. He's working hard at Maccas as a Crew Trainer and loves it.

This is our first of many blogs to come. Just learning but will hopefully become more proficient as time goes on. I wanted to start this to keep you all informed of what were up to and especially for our family in the U.K. WE MISS YOU GUYS!!! Love to you all.

Alyse's 6th Birthday

It was an amazing week. Kev graduated as a Paramedic, my work moved and Alyse turned 6. What a great night we had with family and friends and hasn't our girl grown up! I got a huge surprise that night. I've always joked with Kev that when he finished his degree and when he graduated that I should get something too! Afterall it has been 7 long years. Well he surprised me with a diamond ring and earrings and even gave a little speech with our closest friends and family. He got lots of deposits in my love bank for that one!.
