Just thought I'd share a couple of shots taken at the rugby games Luke and Lily played in for the Armidale Blues. As the season wore on Lily got the hang of it and actually scored a couple of tries. Being the youngest child and having 2 rough brothers, she has been put in a headlock from a young age so getting tackled and stomped on didn't seem to worry her. Because I scanned the photos they are a bit crooked, sorry.
Other exciting rugby news is that Damian won the national anthem singing contest on the plane trip to New Zealand yesterday with his mate Jon Hawthorne. What a champion he is doing his country proud, but when the cat's away the mice turn into rats, don't they????
Great to see Woodlawn do so well at the state final for Tournament of Minds in Sydney last weekend. They won 2 sections and got honours in another, so they are obviously doing something right. Well done Glenn!!! We will look forward to seeing you and Sue in the holidays.
I am off to a meeting of all NSW exchange teachers in Sydney this coming Friday which will be great as I hope to meet some others going to Canada and maybe to Calgary as well. There is also a dinner that night, so I have managed to farm out the kids for sleepovers and I will stay the night with Daniel and Alaine before flying back to Armidale on Saturday. This much notice should give them time to clean the house!!
Cheers
Jenny

Great shots, Jenny. I'd have that up on my bedroom wall as a poster, Luke.
I hope Damian hasn't peaked too early on his World Cup adventure - I always find guidance in questions of behaviour from asking myself, "What would the Phantom do in this situation?" I'm guessing he would have quietly declined the invitation to sing the Bengalli national anthem in public. Make sure you play up a bit yourself in Sydney, Jenny. Staying with Daniel and Alaine should help with this.
Well I could play up Grant, however unlike my irresponsible husband I do have to return the next day on an early flight and look after 4 children. I don't fancy that with a hangover.
"Mum why are you vomiting?'
"Oh it was a very rough flight darling"
It's now your job, Alaine and Daniel, to make sure Jenny doesn't go to bed earlier than 2.00am.
While I have your attention, Jenny, what are you doing after the official Glenn gig? Jules and I might be available for an official visit at that time. I know you'll probably both be working but a dinner (I'll cook) before you head off overseas would be nice.
Grant, mission accepted. We did it to Damian, we can do it to Jenny.
Dinner and a sleepover sound great Grant. Come on Lainey I need you on my side! I will ring you tomorrow arvo
Cheers
Jenny
Accommodation with Daniel and Alaine top notch. VERY clean and tidy, I was impressed.We all went to bed before midnight Grant, sorry to say.
Great to meet up with about 60 other exchange teachers from NSW and to get lots of advice from past exchangees.
Canada here we come!!!Lots and lots of jobs to still get done, so this term will be a super busy one.
Come and visit us in Armidale before we go!!!
Cheers
Jenny
