Hi Everyone

Hi Tim, Rachelle and everyone,
It's been nice to read about what is going on with everyone. So I thought it was my turn to update you guys on my life. I've been married for 5 1/2 years to Scott. We have 2 kids. Levi is 3 1/2 and Courtney is 2. So they keep us very busy and it's been fun. It was hard at first because they are only 14 1/2 months apart, but now it's nice because they play very well together. Now we are also done with diapers. Yippee! We have a dog named Gidget (a whippet), 2 cats, and a guinea pig. My mom still has horses so I get to ride there when I want, and my parents live just a little over a mile away. I give riding lessons to 2 kids and work 8 hours a week at an animal hospital as a vet tech/ receptionist. Scott gets bonding time with the kids. That is where I worked full time before I had kids. When my kids get a little older I'd like to get a foal to work with again, but for now I get to help one of my lesson students break her 3 year old paint. So that's been fun. Well it's been good to hear from all of you. I'll try to keep in touch better.

More news just in....

Hi all just got this from Rachel:
"Dear Tim, Rachelle & everyone,
Hope you are all well? Hopefully Tim you can post this at the Rawhide Times as I'm not sure what I should be doing!!! It's been a long time I know... sorry but at long last we have a new 'working' computer & I'm all set to check my mail & send some on a more regular basis. I have loved catching up on everyone's news, although it felt a little bit like I was spying!!! So here's all my news... if that's okay!
Tyron & I are still Living in Newcastle, I'm still working with young adults with Autism but now I'm teaching which I really enjoy, I teach emotional literacy (which is stuff like emotions, anger management, development & a bit of sex ed... which funnily enough I really enjoy!!!) We are still really involved in church I lead worship or I did until September...taking a bit of a break due to a new addition to the family!!!
In September we had a baby girl called Lily Grace, she's amazing & we love being parent... it's the best job! We have had a bit of a rocky start Lily was born with her foodpipe (oesophagus) blind ended & the other half joined to her trachea (windpipe), so she needed immediate surgery. We had her home for about six weeks & she started to develop breathing problems & had several blue episodes (very scary!!!) so she had more major surgery... God got us through it all. One lady at our church was praying for us just after Lily was born, she knew we'd had a baby & that there were problems but didn't know any details about sex, name etc... God gave her a picture of a Lily (flower), perfect in form, growing tall & strong! This is the promise that we have held on to through all the rough times. She is nearly 6 months, is full of character, is definitely a 'daddies girl' & sooo beautiful, although I'm totally biased!!! At the moment she's great, she is having surgery again in august to remove a little part of her kidney & then hopefully that is everything. I have included a few pictures too!!!
So that's us, it would be lovely to hear from y'all (I can still do a little american accent now & again!) Please send us the details of the reunion, I would love to try & make it. Love to you all... I have so many special memories of you & wish I could be back there sometimes.
Love Rachel xxxx 'Fig Newton'"

This just in from San Diego:
Hi Tim,
I don't really know how to post on the whole blogger thingy...but wanted to let you know...that as you can see from the change in my email name...I'm now a Mrs.! Mrs. Patrick Wallace. We were married in Israel on the Mt. of Olives on February 16...yippee. Here is one of my favorite pix. This guy and his donkey were walking up the road right before the wedding-had to get a picture. Just wanted to keep you all informed :) Pat is in the navy (an air traffic controller), he got new orders and we'll be moving to Pensacola. FL in August-we'll be there 4 years then he'll retire...yippee! Anyway, thought I'd keep you up to date, hope you're doing well, I'll take the time to figure out the blogger thing before too long.

Dina's second came, and just to spite the rest of the mums out there she said,
"Only 15 minutes of pushing and only pushed through 4 contractions.... and out she came."
