Carrying on from June, I don't want to go for another year and have to recall what has been going on!

James reached 17, and is now on the streets of Hamilton after passing his restricted licence. Nicky has all but lost her car, but on the most part the independence he now has is great.

St Johns hosted a rugby team from Marcellin College (Melbourne). Somehow the Morgan household ended up with 5 (yes-five!) boys for one night. (and three the next night). They all had a great time, being introduced to paint ball, Waterworld and Hamilton in general. Of course, SJC convincingly beat them in the game.

Kendall reached her teens relatively unscathed. A sleepover with plenty of games and not much sleep was in order. She also passed her hip hop exams, scoring a couple of points off distinction.

Brianna plodded on with netball, with few wins, but plenty of fun. The rain always seemed to hamper Saturday afternoon, in fact, it seemed to rain for 5 months straight!

Now it's cricket season, James is playing for the 2nds and Ian playing social. Kendall is also playing 'spring league' netball, for St Columbas (not enough for SPC to make up a team).

Brianna continues with guitar lessons, and is planning to sit her learners licence within the next month. That will mean the 'L' plates go back up on the car, much to James' disgust!

We have booked our spot at Whananaki again this summer ... looking forward to getting away from it all .... now we just need a boat!

Roll on summer!

One Year!!

Yep - it's almost been that long since I last posted something. here's a *brief* run down of life in the Morgan household since my last post:
