getting back up to speed

Here's a bit of a news catch up for you after a period of slackness on my part.

Entering into our 3rd year we feel so blessed as a family to be here, whilst still of course, missing you guys. We feel very connected to and protective of the church family at One Way church in Margate, and we now feel they view us in the same way.
We have so much to thank God for here and even through some tough things we have seen the reality of Romans 8v28. Our goals this year for our church family are all expressions of 'being a
family that loves...' ...to pray ...to share the gospel ...to grow in godliness.
Family wise, Rosie has started school and loves it... really loves it! Alys is now in grade 1 but is in a mixed class with grade 2 pupils. This has been a big step for her but she seems to be taking it in her stride. Nathan is starting to express himself a little more these days... but he continues to be very chilled out... just biding his time until he can turn the tables on his sisters!
Alys has taken a fancy to tennis, and is very proud of her pink racquet. This matches her pink ukelele and her pink guitar, and pink bike, roller skates etc etc.
Ali has taken steps to get back into nursing. Despite a squeeze on resources in the health system over here there has been so much support given to her including a team of nurse educators who will work alongside her to help her get up to speed.

Anyway, more to follow!

Hi Graham
Lovely to see Ali and the joeys at the big day this weekend. We all missed you - although Nathan seemed to think his dad was cooking the BBQ - Geoff was doing the honours of course. Enjoy the 2nd big day
All our love
