It is so wonderful to see our foster son's facial expressions when we gave him a '18th key' for his birthday yesterday plus his presents.  He was just so overwhelmed by it all and could not stop thanking us enough.   We took him and his girlfriend and friends out to lunch and we had a great time.  We are so proud of him and what he has accomplished since being with us since he was 14.  It is amazing how far he has come since being brought to our place by Dept of Families 4 years ago.

 

Well what a wonderful xmas this year.  Full of surprises and lots of love and joy was had by all.  We had the most people at our place this year for many years.  We also had lots of visitors bringing their good wishes. 

Well they say you are never too old to learn and at the young age of 57 I have learnt something about blogs from my minti friend Matthew.  Thank you very much Matt.  I still have a lot to learn about them (blogs) but as time goes by I will become accustomed to them I am sure.  At least this is a good start to the week.
