long overdue post

Hi folks just a update on the farrens life.

These past few months have been very busy and affective to us. So to start of with the story of Ella these last few months she has learnt various thing like crawl..... backwards! not fowards she is now chewing for her life and her cheeks are red red red.... oh and the nappies just got worse much worse (I wont go into further detail).

Rugby for joe and I (sam) is going very well both our teams are doing well on the ladder just today in rugby I had a very fearful Injury some one twisted my knee cap and then fell on it and joe got a elbow in the neck so we were in the wars today but the good thing was we still had fun

and enjoyed the game.

But the main thing was our holiday in new caledonia ( which is in the south pacific islands) a nice tropical island and a lovely bungalow to stay in a kuendu beach resort the bungalow had a down stairs and half a upstairs we had a TV downstairs and a kitchen a bathroom and mum and dads room. Joe and I slept up stairs on a kind of balcony over the downstairs flood it had 2 beds, a shelf for our clothes and that was it.

Over the course of the holiday we did lots of things there was a swimming pool about a minutes walk from our bungalow it had 2 really cool waterslides and little toddlers pool and we had loads of fun on that. We also went into noumea a number of times (the capital) and did some shopping there and hung out but most of all we spent lots of time at the beach. One particular day dad and I decided to go snorkelling at a little island about 20 minutes of shore of new caledonia there we saw some awesome coral, fish and ... you wont belive this I saw a SHARK and a SEA SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!which was totally awesome. then we stopped for morning tea and then headed back to the resort.

that was a really awesome holiday.

Next we bring you news on matt and amanda coming over with cute old noah. They had an awesome week over here looking at churches and options for there church and they did spend some time with us obviosly I and Joe were at school so we didnt get to see them as much as mum and ella did.

we also have to tell you about harry potter and the rush the see the movie and get the book I myself have seen the movie and I am about 130 pages through the book.

Last but not least was our trip to sovereign hill (which is a site that was changed into a gold feild town with all your old shops we took a tour guide which was me sowe went gold panning we went down a mine saw someone purify gold and got some old fashioned lollies.

and that is all from the farrens
