GRAHAM, JILL, KATIE, ALICE, LAURA, TOM & DANIEL
  For us it has been a typical few months with some high spots, like a week way camping in the Flinders.  Laura accompanied us and the boys and we all had a great time.  We managed to introduce the boys to camping and maintained a modicum of sanity - a huge success.  Laura and I managed a peek through the telescope at Arkaroola and all of us spent quite a few hours gazing into the stars looking for “sputniks”.  We were rewarded by the company of a kangaroo and her joey most days and a family of emu’s - “emoo” is now Daniel’s favourite word! 
Jill is enjoying a very busy life now that she is selling “Jigsaw Toy Factory” products and has found lots of skills she didn’t think she had!.  An added bonus is that she gets to talk with “big” people occasionally instead of just us boys! 
Alice is in the middle of year 12 exams and all the stress that it brings, but she seems to be coping admirably.  She recently had her Graduation ceremony and was awarded a prize for the “schools most valuable student”. 
Tom has started Pre-Entry Kindy once a week and so far really looks forward to “school” with his packed lunch and school bag. 
Daniel continues to develop into a little boy and climbs anything that doesn’t move and most of those that do.
"In the last Decade..."

Most peoples’ lives change over adecade, and it would be presumptuous of us to suggest that ours has any more or less. But the changes of the last decade have led us to assume that you can’t assume anything!....so, two rules:

    • Count your blessings
    • Don’t use up what you have, nurture it!
