Welcome 2008

Welcome 2008 another year is here. Saw it in barely we babysat Anabel and Kase .Jeremy,Nat and Luke headed out to celebrate .Kase and Jeremy were home long before 12 we saw the year in and hit the hay. Hopefully it will be a great year for all. 2007 is a standout year firstly because the beautiful Anabel Grace Maree was born to make us first time grandparents which I have to say is absolutely fantastic ( The best surprise we ever got). We wonder sometimes how we can totally besotted by this little girl but we are she is an absolute joy to all of us and has the most beautiful nature and I simply cannot beleive that in a few short weeks she will be turning the big 1.

Secondly Carissa and Jay welcomed thier precious Kaylee Rose into the world ,she could not have been born to more deserving parents after a lot of heartache . So Jen and I get to swap granny stories(when we get time) which we never thought would happen so soon and marvel at the fact that we quite possibly are grannys to the two most gorgeous girls in the world. And I think sometimes how much Tommy would have loved these little girls .

Then there were all the moves Kase and Anabel moved to Coorparoo from the city and shortly after Nat moved there as well and to cap off the year Jeremy moved in with them to finally become a family. We also had a big party year with Luke's 18th,Nats 21st and Miss Anabel's christening. Kase became a godmother to Lincoln (her cousin Kylies little boy) when he was christened.

Luke headed overseas for the third time with his music this time to China and both Luke and Tom played in the queensland youth orchestra.

Noel was up in the air with the council amalgamations and me well I felt like a headless chook a lot work at times was manic.

And the perfect start to the new year Rain Rain Rain which was brilliant (except for the poor buggers up the top here) hopefully it will keep up.

To 2008 well it can only get better if not busier Luke starts uni on the 14th February at QUT

so we will have another move not sure where to yet but probably a student share house .Luke and Tom are both back at qyo Tom in wind orchestra and Luke in Symphony orchestra. Nat is settled into a new job. Kase and Jeremy are still trying to make 2 households into one. Jem is off to high school. Noel gets to stay here once the amalgamations take place. I'm going to prep which should be interesting but I am really looking foward to it.

Anabel turns one.

Michelle and Ken will welcome thier little girl in early April.

My plan for 2008 is to spend more time with family and friends ,sleep more , stress less,sew more get all my vidoes copied from disc. Take more pics (if that is Possible) and learn how to use the new camera,

And finally good health for everyone have a fantastic 08.
