Elizabeth, Roy is a Fire Protection Engineer, he takes care of the fire panels in shopping centres & highrises, he makes sure that everything runs smoothly & if ever there is a fire, the sprinklers, pumps etc, cut in until the fire brigade arrives.... he used to install the pipe work & sprinklers as the highrises were under construction, so he would be on scaffolding many stories up, so glad he doesn't do that anymore especially after the deaths of two men on the weekend... they fell 26 stories... one of the men was an uncle to a girl in Samuel's class, it's all so very, very sad!!
On to something a little happier, Samuel has been presented with a couple of awards, one for music & a Thumbs Up Award, this is an award for receiving 20 possies for good behaviour both in the classroom & the playground! As Samuel is in yr3 the possies are even harder to get, so we are very proud of our boy!! They had a possie party yesterday with food & games, everyone's name was entered into the draw for some great prizes & at assembly yesterday afternoon the winners were announced... Samuel won a ticket to Whitewater World, he was in total disbelief lol. he was called up 3 times at assembly to receive his ticket & his awards!! As it is end of term (woo hoo) there is always a school disco, Samuel was off first, they have two sessions for the upper & lower schools.. he was exhausted when I picked him up (it only goes for 11/2 hours) he told me the girls kept chasing him & telling him how handsome he was, I asked him how the girls looked his response "very pretty, they look so different with their hair down mum" lol.
I had a parent/teacher interview with his teacher yesterday morning & he has done extremely well, so once again we are very proud of Samuel!!
Ok now I've prattled on far too long,
Till next time... xx

I think he's over it!!

I'm both happy and sad with you. You must be thrilled to see Jaimie again, but you also must be devastated as to the reason why they've come over. It's always so sad when a young person is robbed of the rest of his life in such a way.
And to Samuel I would say: Thumbs Up, Boy!!! Well done.
Happy parents at the end of the schoolyear will make the summer holiday so much more enjoyable!
Love,
Tania
Hi Tanya
It must be wonderful to see Jaimie again, but I am so saddened and sorry that it had to be under such tragic circumstances. The loss of such a young life is a tragedy.
What a star Samuel is - two awards at the end of the semester is an excellent acievement. You must be so very proud of him. Well done Samuel.
Love
Elise
oh my goodness, tanya, what a bittersweet week you have had. i had no idea. when you commented on wednesday that it was a sad day, i thought you meant in general with all that was wrong with the world (there's plenty wrong). but, you meant in your world:{
i am so, so sorry you, your family, and your friends have experienced so much sadness this week. i will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
