New Year. New School!


I can’t believe it is 2018 already. Our seventh year in Bunbury, WA. So much change for our little family, all growing up. Charli, Cate and Hamish started a new School and so far (3 days in) are enjoying it.  Very different to their private Christian school. Lots of things to get used to. But lots of exciting interesting opportunities too.

Charli started year seven. Her first year of high school. She is loving changing classes every hour and her new teachers. She is slowly making friends and getting used to the public system.

Cate is in Year Nine. Her electives are drama, cooking and recreational sport. She is the one that most needed a fresh start and I pray that this will be that for her.

Hamish is Year 11 which I can not believe. He is in the VET program. Maths, English, Careers and Enterprise. Cert 2 in Sport and Rec and Cert 2 in automotive as well as Cert 2 in tyres, balancing etc. (not the correct title, brain has gone blank). He thinks he may like to be a mechanic so this will be a good taster for him. He is also doing regular shifts at Hungry Jacks and saving up hard for a car.

Bay turns 21 in August. He has been slower in figuring out what he wants to do. He has been doing odd jobs, gardening, djing, sound work etc. He is thinking about going down to Tassie in May and staying with his uncle. Clearing his head, enjoying the country air and hopefully finding work and a direction to head in.

James is pastor of the church we attend. Between 75-100 people attend. This keeps him busy. Meetings, plans, sermons, people all needing something. He loves it.

I hope this is a good year for us. Last year sucked. Looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us.
