Hanna & Madison's trip to Darwin

Click here to see the photo album of Hanna and Madison's trip to Darwin. Graham and his friend Paul and his daughter Olivia took the girls to Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia for a holiday.

Once your there click on 'play slideshow' in the top right hand corner. You can pause the slide show by putting your cursor on the top of book and click pause. When you are ready to play again press play. Sorry some of the writing is too small, but I couldn't make it any larger.

Enjoy my first Blog

Have no idea how to format it, I know it might be out of order, but it only took me an hour to figure out how to upload a picture! I will try and keep it updated throught the year.

Poor baby - just woke up from her operation


The year started out with the girls and I in USA. We had a blast - thanks to my Mom & Dad. I came back to Australia to no job and starting back to school for the first time in XX years. It started out well and I found job in my chosen field - I am on my way to becoming a Naturopath. I now am a senior staff member at Healthy Life (health food store). Unfortunatley I am still a casual employee, which means I work when there is work and don't get any shifts when there isn't any work, I don't get any holiday or sick pay. I still work at the pub also as a casual. So I spend my time juggeling two jobs and school. Hanna made it thru 8th grade. She is a typical 14 year old, MSN, makeup, her digital camera, boys and looking forward to summer are her life at the moment.
Madison had a great year 5, she won some public speaking awards, played basketball, participated in a dance contest, a school performance in front of over 400 people - she had one of the only speaking parts and did a great job, won the physical education award and the pricipal's award. She broke her thumb and had to have an operation :(

Both girls went the the Northern Territory with their dad (still waiting for the pics) and had a great time and learned alot about crocodiles!

The worst part about this year was my dad passed away, I miss him every day!

Now I have to get ready for next year, Chemistry and more Biology and being a mother to two beautiful girls.
