Catching up

Great to hear everyone's news, as always! An update of our own...Rachael is still in Sydney and has just landed a full-time job working at a pharmacy in Mossman, near Manly where she is living. A 15-minute bus ride gets her to work then home again. She is considering pharmaceutical science as a possible course of study, so this job will give her a good insight into the field as she will be working closely with the pharmacist.  It's a small, family-run pharmacy, and she says she is enjoying the work after her first full week on the job. When she's not working she can usually be found at the beach, and judging by this photo, who can blame her?!

Emily is busy with her Year 11 studies. She is still enjoying her courses, particularly the histories and music.  She is currently at a 2-day music camp, which is an annual event for Hillbrook music students, and one that is eagerly anticipated! Lots of fun and comraderie, as well as copious music-making!  When she's not at school or music camp, Emily can be found on her computer or scaling the climbing walls at Urban Climb in the city - her latest passion.  I don't have a photo of her in Spiderman-mode yet, but here are a couple of the girls taken in January:

Ken and I are enjoying work and a quieter life, particularly this past weekend without children!  We've been grateful for the company of Chai, who is settling down into a more mature young adult (thank goodness!  Don't envy the Kellogg's and the puppy phase!)

Great to hear from everyone - keep the blogs coming!!  XO Elli
