So as the title of my blog says, this is me and my aussie family. This was taken almost a year ago at our annual buffet night up in Deer Valley.Jason, Michael, Me, Graeme, Steven, Damien. Front row, Kelsey, Crystal and Emily. I hope we can get together again next January.
It amazes me that I have been a mother for over 38 years now. I love my kids so much. They give me so much joy and my chest swells with pride when I see them all together which is not often enough.
With Thanksgiving approaching I count my blessings that we have had such good health over the years, that we have wonderful daughters in law and a son in law and 7 grand children. Crystal is expecting our 8th in March. This will be Crystal's first baby and everyone is thrilled and extremely happy for her. It's a boy by the way. I feel we are a close knit family but how else can that be when the 4 boys all work with their dad. Even though the majority of the kids were born in the USA and Canada, we all feel like fairdinkum Aussies. My own family in Australia keep in touch by a family newsletter that gets sent out 3 times a year and lately there are a lot of family members contacting each other via facebook on the internet. I am most grateful for a loving husband who treats me like a queen. We have been married nearly 39 years and he is my best friend. I love spending precious times with him because he is humorous, loving, gentle, generous, kind and sensitive and I love him with all my heart.

I know each of them considers you a blessing in their life too.
Such a good looking family. You should be SO proud.
funny. i kept looking at the three girls - saying i see crystal but who the heck are those other two? oh yeah, years pass, and children grow up! beautiful family for sure! it's so good for all of us to write down our feelings about the blessings that are in our lives. we always write about people and not things . . . .
