Big steps and updates ...

My big news for the day is that I got my visa! Yah Yah Yah! So it is official, I am going to America!!!

Chris is doing well, work is going well…one of his best mates Angus is here (from England.) It’s amazing how it always coincides with my departure from the country, it happened when I went to India as well, am I slightly suspicious, maybe just a little! But it’s all good; at least he will have company when I leave. They play squash together quiet often, so Chris is getting fit, good for him! Of late I have not been the most energetic person alive!

Rebecca is doing well at the moment, she is going to be in a play that their school in producing, it’s called RE-peat and is based on the Peter pan fairytale. Originally she was casted as a “district 6 member aka a homeless hobo” hee hee, now she is being recast as a larger role as the teacher has noticed her enthusiasm and her commitment! Go girl! Now she is nagging me to help her with some school projects…ahh the joys of school!!! I can just see my skype conversations with her…

“Hi Robs, how are you?”

“I’m good I’m having a blast…”

“Good, please help me with my ……….. (* fill in arbitrary subject here *)”

Little Miss Riley is also doing so well (I think I need a new word other than well…suggestions?)

She is loving school and is becoming quiet the little artist! She is dancing her American awards at the end of the month, unfortunately I will miss it as I will onboard a plane heading for America, but will think of her…c’mon gold distinct this year!!!

Pretty miss Riley

Roic is…so cute! I know I always say that but in truth he is. Little boys are just the best! He is loving school, although he always gets shy even I quiz him (and I do) about school and his friends. I mean I am his big sister I feel like I have every right to know EVERY detail about his life.

Riley, Roic and I

Rayson is, believe it or not I actually know what is happening in Rayson World (for a change)! He is learning lots at work and working hard, but playing even harder, he is really getting into his whole Dj scene thing, he recently brought a new thing for Dj thingy-um-a-jiggy, shows how I know. He has a new girlfriend, Zoe, she is a journo, she seems really lovely, and Rays looks really happy, so good times!

Since I am backtracking with these emails they are a little outdated so I figured I would do a quick update. Chris and I continued to date for 6 months while I was in the States before we decided to “set each other free” and continue on our paths as friends rather than as a couple. We still chat and I wish him the best of luck, he truly is a great guy.

Rebecca is enjoying school high and becoming prettier and prettier each day (back of boys!) and I am enjoying learning about her life as she is now the big kid at home as well as the “only” child.

Riley is dancing like a star and recently preformed as Flicker the Fire Fairy in a production of Jack Frost.

Roic has officially started, wait for it…Grade one! Way to make me old, bro! He is looking super smart in his school uniform. Man that was a long time ago for me!

Rayson has decided to learn keyboard/piano instead of DJing, and I hear he is pretty good (he must have gotten Dad’s musical genes, well I, I guess I didn’t) He is also no longer dating Zoe and they have decided to rather remain friends. So it single time for big bro, watch out ladies!

Well I’m all typed out, big challenge to all of you out there…let me know what happening in your world! Please free to leave some feedback, I would really appreciate it.
