Random Stuff

Well, I haven't really blogged much

family news lately, so here it is.

A few weeks back, Emilee got her license,

so she is on the road, driving and dangerous!

One-eyed driver, everyone BEWARE!

Dave is busy making a cage for the back of

her ute to hold freight for our local

business delivering stuff.

Emilee will be taking over most of that

for Dave once the cage is built.

She is enjoying the freedom of having

her licence and her own ute.

Her sisters are also enjoying the profits

of that freedom too.

(And so am I.

Off to the shops for mum now)

Maddie recently got braces

(as you can see in the picture,

which she allowed me to post, under

duress). So now the jokes can begin.

Chloe continues to entertain everyone

with her quick wit, card tricks,

optical illusions and random comments.

Never a dull moment there!

I decided that I would take a dive

off our tandem trailer last week,

falling off and landing rather hard

on my back, which I have come to find out

is NOT a good idea at my age!

Let's just say, it has slowed me down

very considerably and I am very sore!

Dave has been busy working

and then working some more on

projects at home once the 'day job'

is done. I keep the coffee and snacks

coming, and he sees to the other important stuff.

Dave and I are currently on a diet

and a bit of a healthy change

so Dave is becoming a shadow of

his former self, and me, well.....

Shall we change the subject now?

James and Abbi are moving house this weekend

into a bigger and better place that allows

room for a baby and doting grandparents and

aunties to come visit.

Our wet season is still wet,

it is pouring down at present,

but it will soon be all gone

and the dry season will be upon us

and the tourists will begin to descend!!

Youth Group is going really well

with new kids coming along most every week.

We are hoping to start up a teen ministry next

term and the girls are especially excited about

that prospect!

Our trusty old Hiace bus is currently

being refitted with a 'new' engine (reco)

and will be as good as new soon! I hope.

She has done over 700 000km so she

was well and truly due for an overhaul.

Praise God for His providence

of someone with the know

how and willingness to do the job.

Thanks Patrick!

God is good!

And that's about all for now.

Oh, and Ellie the cat continues to

pretend she is Queen of the house

and make her presence known

whenever it takes her fancy.

Oh, and if you're looking for

a picture of Dave and I,

well, keep dreamin'!!
