2009 is here!! Welcome All!

Hello!

Welcome to 2009 and I hope that you have all had a very restful time over the holidays. I have had a ball going jet skiing lots and generally enjoying the sun, sand and water. I LOVE water sports and summer it is so great!

We had an awesome time in Wanaka camping next to our friends Anna-Lisa, Jake, Ethan, Xavier and Gabriella. We did lots of cool adventures, we had a ball especially doing the luge in Queenstown.

I would love to hear what you have all been up to, you can put it on the blog under comment or you can e-mail me at jopurplerainbow@xtra.co.nz.

Uncle Rhys!

Hi Uncle Rhys it's Lily here.
I miss you and I liked the times we used to have together. I remember floating boats in the water in Wanaka, having Christmas together and jumping on your back, and being your flower girl at your wedding. I liked the way that you always played with me and i wish that you were still alive.
I am sad because I didn't get to say goodbye to you, but I think i could talk to you in the wind sometimes and you might hear. I like your movie the water horse, it is one of my favourites and I didn't even know that you had worked on it or King Kong until Mummy told me. I like seeing your name at the end of water horse movie.
Goodbye Uncle Rhys - I love you. Love Lily xxxxooo

A poem for Uncle Rhys

I like the way you play with children, you are kind and caring,
You are smiling and wonderful and sharing.
I wish you were still alive because it's funnny without you to cuddle,
It's a bit of a muddle.
Lewis and Olive miss you and Aunty Heather too,
A 1000 x's I love you!
