Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!


A token photo of our day at the snow. There would have been more shots if I had any feeling in my hands but unfortunately the sub zero temeratures (and fog) put a stop to any real photography(or use of my hands). The only time I considered taking my gloves off was to suck on my hands in an attempt to warm them up (all five fingers at once!). Even our hair was frozen. Anyhow, in this picture, the black figure is Maddie trying to make her way back up the slope to recover her skis. After watching her almost reach them, slip, and then slide about 10m back down a couple of times, Stephen ended up going to the rescue.

And Jemma goes to..... Syd-a-ney!!!

A big hello from Jemma in Sydney!

This Sunday it will be one month since Jemmy left to go and kick some serious butt in Sydney - 'Hillsong Style'.

Completing a one year performing arts course at Hillsong Sydney- living in a block of flats rented out mostly by Hillsong international college students- working part time as a dental nurse and waitress- Jemmy seems to have settled in up there with enough distractions to have her barely thinking about home (she may argue that).
We are all very proud to see Jemmy continue on with more and more big and brave leaps of faith. She's even learning to cook.

When I asked her to send me pictures for 'Oh Paky Day' she included this one of the new shoes she had just bought. I guess she was just proud of them and wanted to share that with us all... and that's what 'Oh Paky Day' is all about.
