Thank you to everyone who offered their thoughts, prayers and hugs for Mitch’s friend. We don’t have an update today, as yet, but Mitch is going to try and talk to her mum later tonight ( Read more... )

Maddy made the interschool swimming team *blinks*  I didn’t think she had a chance after swimming fourth in every race (which is good, but I didn’t think it was enough to see her through to the school team), but she’s in and competing in five different events *yay*

We also heard from Maddy’s netball coach today.  She’s going to have the coach ( Read more... )

School may not have been in today, but we did get mail from the school… good mail!  Tori has received a commendation in *drum roll please*  ENGLISH!  *woot*

Maddy has been doing swimming lessons at school this past two weeks and today was the final day. She passed her level and is now in level six! She's so proud of herself, because she's set herself a goal to make the school swimming team next year (you must be a level six to compete).
