Family and friends Snapshots

So here I am B.C. (and much much thinner than today) with our two cats.  The black one is called "Pirate" as he looked like he had a black beard when he was a kitten.  The other is "Siam" for obvious reasons.  Pirate was found in a hession bag at the river with his brothers and we decided to give him a home even though we had just purchased a very expensive kitten.  (I think we got ripped off somehow, he's far from a show-cat) So we had two kittens, and five years later they have grown up to best of mates.  Gee, I hope our twins grow up to be best mates too!

This was taken of all six of us at 1999 Christmas time.  Yes, it is quite warm here that time of year! My Mum gave us this neat blow-up pool for a Christmas present and it got quite a bit of use!  Even with us oldies!  Photos of all six of us are rare, so even though we are in our bathers (and half of us are in nothing) I decided to put it up anyway.

Meet David and Mum.  This was taken in 1997. They were both in my Aunt's Wedding party and looked pretty smart. Although we love in different houses we are still a close family, and I love having David as my little brother (I think he kinda likes me too). Mum is a very special person to me, we are good friends as well as Mother and Daughter. I aspire to give my children as happy a childhood as she and Dad gave me.  Mum has started a new site click here to see, and David has a page too.

My brother Chris. (pictured here with Matthew) Chris is now the IT Manager of an Australian Company and a success in his field. He has a lovely girlfriend; Louise, who one day I may be able to call my sister-in-law.  It was Chris who introduced me to computers, as he has loved them since he was a child.I thought he was crazy... a computer 'geek', how could computers be useful for more than games? Now looks who's a 'geek' too!  Chris and I are lucky to share a wonderful relationship... It's true, Brothers and Sisters can like each other!

And this is Dad and Bev pictured here with our beloved Joshua. This was taken at their house, and has been Joshua's only visit to Oma and Opa's as they live so very far away. Although we chat on the telephone regularly we still miss them dearly and wish they weren't 'missing out' on these lovely Grandkids of theirs! .
