Here are a few photos of our grand children. Hayden is four and Claire is two and a half. Hayden is a good little boy and loves preschool. Need I say any more - Claire is .... a two and a half Both our faimilies live very close to each other so we get the see the childen often. Here is a little story about our Son and daughter -in-law. Our son Paul met Devi through work, he worked at a large confectionery company and in his job he had to ring around the world getting prices for new ranges of confectionery. One day he happend to ring Jakarta, and Devi answered the phone. Paul spoke to her in indonesian and she was quite impressed. (Paul has been to Bali many times). So Devi said "next time you go to Bali, call into Jakarta and meet us." So you know what happened next they fell for each other. About a year later after many expensive phone calls between them they decided to get serious. Paul was invited to meet the "parents". He flew up and met the whole family around 60 people, Uncles auntys cousins and sisters. His indonesian language failed him then, as everyone spoke so fast. After about another six months or so we were invited to meet the parents as its the custom is meet the parents to see if we are good type of people for their daughter to move to Australia for to care for her just in case. So we also flew to Jakarta and Boy! we couldn't speak a word of indonesian and the parents couldn't speak english, so it was a bit tense waiting on the offspring to translate for us. Boy! we couldn't speak a word of indonesian and the parents couldn't speak english, so it was a bit tense waiting on the offspring to translate for us. So the next thing Devi had to do was to get a Visa to come to Australia to Marry Paul. It was the exact day she went to the Austraian embassy that it got bombed! Without a lie she was walking up the path ahead a indonesian lady with a baby who got killed by a bomb the day the Australian embassy got bombed aprox 7 years ago. Her ears were ringing for about 1 month but we she was so lucky to have not got bombed. We were all so worried about her. one of the major radio stations tried to interview her - as she was so close to death but she couldn't hear very well to talk to them. So once we all got over that we planned the wedding. It was in a suburb of Sydney. All the family came down from Jakarta and it was just beautiful. Everyone enjoyed them selves sooooo much. | |||||||||||||||
