Gray family update

James is on the Spirit of New Zealand at the moment. I took him to Manukau early on Sunday morning to catch the bus to Wellington, there were others on the bus going on the Spirit too. Then they sailed on Monday. They are sailing from Wellington to Lyttleton - hope the weather's OK. He had his phone taken off him on Sunday night so that's the last we hear from him till next Wednesday. I miss him already.
Other good news for James - he's been after a part time job at Jeanery 90, a surf shop in Pukekohe, and finally found out he got it last week. He starts when he gets back from the Spirit, working Mon & Tues after school and Saturdays.
Emma's good news - she passed her Bronze for Surf Life Saving so she is now a Lifeguard. Go Emma, she has only been doing it for a few weeks too.
Netball training has started - she wasn't very happy with the team she had been put in but went along to training last night and realises it is actually a very good team. She is captain.

Thought I'd share my last For Keeps DT layout that was in Issue 39. I really enjoyed putting this page together. It was for the Under $15 section.
















Do you like my new banner.
News on Scrapcamp tomorrow hopefully. :))

WTG Emma, that's awsome news about her being a Lifesaver, I bet she's wraped.
James will have so much fun in the Spirit of Adventure, I wish I had done something like that when I was his age.
hugs

Congrats to your kids for their sucesses - doesn't it make you so proud when they set out to achieve something and then actually achieve it? Love your banner - wish I could do something more sexy but haven't got a clue where to start.
