Hello blogger world!
I have had a very long break from Blogging and I note that a lot of blogs I used to follow are no longer blogging now. With all the new platforms, maybe Blogger is a bit old school I suppose.
But.................. I really love looking back on my family history and what I was up to over the years. As you can see I have changed a bit over the past few years!

So, I have decided to resurrect my blog again 😀
Quite a bit has changed over the past 4 years or so and a bit has stayed the same. I will talk about me later, but this is what has been happening.............
The boys have grown up

| Michael is nearly as tall as Greg |

| No more braces - he had them for 1.5 years! 2023 |
 |
| New school for Ben |
Lots of changes for the boys. Michael is in Year 9 at Beerwah HS. He enjoys it and catches the bus every day. Rhys is in Year 6 at Mooloolah State School and rides his bike to school every day. Ben is in Year 6 at Palmview State Special School and we moved him at Term 2. He is loving it! I had to put up a BIG fight to move him there (a regular thing for me for my boys) but it was 100% the right decision.
Jemma has now moved to Queensland and lives on Moreton Island and works at Tangalooma Resort

Alex has moved to WA. Unfortunately she has separated from Ben but they remain on good terms for Summer and Blayd. I can't wait to see them again soon!
Then this year, after limping for I reckon 10 years, he finally listened to me and went to the Dr. Total hip replacement done! He has just been diagnosed with a hernia........... but it isn't bad and he sees the specialist in a few weeks. Hopefully that will be it 😢 All of this has put a lot of pressure on us as a family as he hasn't worked in paid employment since we moved up here, but he just started Casual domestic assistance work last week. 💗
Courtney and Erin and the kids have also moved to Queensland. They now have a farm at Toowoomba. I am so excited that they moved up here and are about a 3 hour drive. I love going over there and seeing them.

Mum and Dad are really good. They sold their house and now live in a retirement village in Caloundra which they LOVE. They have a crazy social life 💥
Nat and Martin sold their house and are living more rural on acreage past Maleny. We don't really see them very much but they are enjoying the land and Nat has chickens! 🐔
There are SO many things that have happened over the past 3 years - to many to say in this post but I will gradually bring them into my blog as the weeks go by. I plan to update every week 😀
Love Rach xxx
