More Retrospective Memories


Continuing the theme of looking back in time, I calculated that Emily has attended school for approximately 2550 days over the last 13 years.There have been many achievements, fun filled days, friends and an array of precious memories. Looking back, I wonder where the time has gone! (Cliched but true) The next thirteen years will no doubt see many challenges and changes. Look out!

The Graduate!


Emily had her formal at the Catalina Country Club, Bateman's Bay.It was a fun filled evening. Emily was a revelation; looking elegant in a mushroom and baby blue silk gown! Certainly a stunning transformation for a girl who never wears dresses or makeup!

A School Career in Retrospect

It's very hard to believe that Emily has completed her formal schooling. These photos show the transition from a little kindergarten girl in 1999 to the young lady she is today. We are very proud of her!

Dalmeny Beach

New Years Eve was a bit of a scorcher. Consequently, the beach was the place to be. By 7.30 in the evening, things had cooled enough to make venturing outside very enjoyable. Nick and I ducked over to the beach so that he could have a swim in the lake!

Christmas 2010

This year, we traveled to Sydney to celebrate Christmas with the Carter Family. Stephen bought Nanny Pat over from the hospital where she has been staying and Peter, Sue & Thomas Carter came up from Nowra.  We spent the rather warm day, unwrapping presents, eating, drinking, swimming and playing backyard cricket. We had a thought for Luke Carter who is currently serving on the HMAS Melbourne in Somalia and for Damon and his wife Deanne who were unable to make it over from Perth.
John and I decided to drive back to Narooma late on Christmas afternoon so that we could all wake up in our own beds on Boxing day, thus successfully eluding the notorious Boxing Day Traffic.It was a long & tiring drive home but well worth it!
