A Red Letter Day
Today is the first time since 1987 that I do not have a child heading off to school (as a student) on the first day of the academic year!
July 1991 - Genevieve & Mark's wedding outfits
October 2006 - Gabriella's 18th with a 1920s theme
In January 1987, Miranda started primary school at The Marian School in Gulliver, Townsville, David had just turned 3 years old, Diana was only 7 months old & Gabriella wasn't a thought on the horizen.
In January 2008, Miranda & David both have a Bachelor of Music (Honours in Performance) from Griffith University. They both teach & perform music but Miranda is going back to university to study Midwifery. Miranda has a lovely partner called Duncan, who is a geologist. David's partner is Nadia, an interpreter & ESL teacher. Diana is 2/3 way through a Bachelor of Science from UQ, Brisbane & has just been appointed the Manager of the Pub-Restaurant where she works in the City. Gabriella has just been accepted to study medicine at James Cook University in Townsville in North Queensland.
The times they are a-changing!
My babies are not babies any more.
However, some things NEVER change - it's raining for the first day back at school!

Oh but isnt it nice when you realise that you made a good job of bringing them up and they have turned into nice people. After all being a mother you go in feet first and just pray that you get it right.
You have a gorgeous family. You must be immensely proud of them all.
Aww, they grow up so fast. What a talented bunch!
