“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.”

synchronicity
the boy is back in town!!!
and the current spontaneous buzz is synchronised-car-dancing, to whatever's blasting on the airwaves: today it's a re-mix of the James Bond theme.. *go on, turn up your sound and dance like no one's watching!!!*
Love the car dancing...and I love seeing how happy and relaxed D and R are...they were sweet little kids... but the Sunny Bay move and all that went with it have helped them grow into confident, sparkly young adults. Well done Mama!
amber lee D18 is studying up the road in The Big Smoke which is the biggest city in NZ: cryptic? moi? *grin* X
rachael funny, we were picking up the lads (J12 and S10) from their rafting race this arvo (forgot the camera) and R14 and i were sitting on the grass after snarffing (yup, it has two Fs) a BBQ sausie, and one of the pre-teen lads (who was kinda flirting with R14) said, "Gosh you and your mum look exactly the same!" at which we simultaneously looked at each other with a raised-eyebrows "DUH!" look lol X
*love* this pic. your kids seem so comfortable around you, it's inspiring (american teenagers are brainwashed to hate their adults), or maybe it's just a testimony to your fabulous parenting. anyways, they will love having these pics when they're grown.
