Family's

Hi all,

Well since my last update, Ricks brothers (Mal and Gary) and sister-in-law (Nikki) arrived on Friday night. Christopher the youngest of the brother decided not to come down. They were exhausted after there drive to Frankston from the Central Coast in N.S.W. Not much happened on the Friday night.

*************************************************

Gary knew that something was wrong so he asked me what has been happening and I told him about Mark. He didn't even know. Rick didn't tell him. Gary and I have never had a very good relationship. But when I told him about Mark, he was shocked and seemed to be more upset about it than Rick. Gary had only met Mark once when Mark was 11.

Gary later on told me he had asked Rick why he didn't tell him about my brother and Ricks response was "It wasn't my place." I thought we were all suppose to be family???

Jasmine, Anabell and I headed of to Wendy's to say 'Hi' and also to pick up Anabell's denim jacket. Wonderful Jenny from coffee morning altered the denim jacket. It looks absolutely Fab!!! A very big thank you Jenny. Anabell LOVES it.





To Wendy, you have been a great friend. Thank you so much for all the support you have shown me, it means alot.

In all that has happened to me since September, I thought things might start looking up with family. Well no it hasn't. I found out my dad is not well, he is on heart medication, my poor sister is getting sms's from mum telling her to look after dad when she is gone, (meaning, she doesn't want to live anymore), my mum and dad are spliting up and the house is now on the market, my dad has Mark's bike and all that is wrong with it is 1 broken handle bar, Rick and I really aren't talking still, the police still haven't finished with the investigation so we are no closer to really finding out the exact details of Marks death. What else can go wrong???

Sunday morning we all got up and I wanted to take some photos of the girls with there Aunty nd Uncles so we all got dressed and had a photo shoot.

The last photo is of the 3 brothers, Mal, Rick, and Gary (*left to right) that order is eldest to youngest. Rick is on tippy toesa to try and be as tall as the other 2.

We then finished the photo shoot and they packed the car to make the journey back to N.S.W. As they were about to leave MAl said to Nikki did you take one of Rick, Vesna and the girls and well she forgot. So then we had to pose for one of those yeah. I love photo's *not*. lol
They left at about 11:30am.

The girls wanted to go to the park so off we went. We ended up at Frankston. Lots of fun trying to find a car park. They had a bit of a play there and then they asked if they could go down to the beach, so off we went to the beach. We came home about 3:30pm.





When we got home I still had to wash the girls school uniform as I hadn't done it yet. So I did that and changed the girls sheets on there beds as that is where Nikki and Mal slept. I got the girls lunches ready for school, they love there vege boxes (carrots, cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli and tomatos). Then organised dinner. While the girls relaxed in the bath.

Journaling Says: Kia Ora! What you are witnessing is the result of localised volcanic activity which took place on Friday 26th January 2001 at 3.30pm. No people were injured during the eruption which lasted approximately 15 minutes and was a spectacular sightfor locals and visitors alike. At the time of the eruption, mud, steam, and debris was thrown 200m into the air. Jasmine and Anabell loved everything except for the smell. They laughed at the mud bubbling because of the sound Blop, Blop, Blop. 27th July 2007.

Yesterday I stayed home and a friend Michelle came over for a chat and scrapping. I think we did more talking than anything else.

I am also waiting on a parcel to arrive in the mail any day now as I was in footy tipping comp and I came second so I got to spend just under $100 at an online shop. I will update with a pick of my goodies when it arrives. So here it is.

Well I think that's about all for the moment.
Take care
Vesna
