Laura's Mom Hi kids! No-one has sent you a message for 10 days so I thought I would! Got the CD of your photos, which are now in a safe place! Not many weeks til we see you again. Can't wait! (Better warn my washing machine!!!). Your brother is home this weekend! (The elder one, Laura!!). Will be good to see him too. Still enjoying lots of sunshine here! Maybe we will have tans too, when you get back! Take care. Lots of love, Mom xx

Kerry Hey LB and SS, Just settling down with a mocha to look at all your new pics. Got your message about your new number in NZ, but I got new number today too so will just have to hold fire now till you get back! Will have to book you one night to fill you in on all the news. Enjoy every minute of the last few weeks. Take care both x x x

Laura's Mom Hello children! Well, plumber gone now, but there was a roofer tiling your roof today!!! (Only the loose ones!). Got plastic guttering and soffits now! (Whatever they are!). Ladders galore!!!! Are you on your way to New Zealand now? Look after yourselves dearies and keep in touch.

Laura'a Pa Yo! Those turtles look tasty! Like meat pies, but extra crunchy, eh?

Lucy K Hi guys, Looks pretty amazing! How big are those turtles - scary... xxx

Oona & Andy Hi Guys, hope your both well. Thanks for birthday card, it was lovely. See you soon xxxx

Diane (Laura's Mom) Laura rang me last week - and she and Stu are fine, but nowhere near internet sites. I suspect we are in for a lot of photos in the near future!

Diane (Laura's Mom) Spoke to Laura yesterday. She sounded in great spirits. In Brisbane now, and off to Sydney in a month for the onward trip to New Zealand. Mentioned an expected cyclone!!!! (How to scare your mother to death!!). We've already had to worry about a military coup and bush fires, so why not! I told her to lie on the ground if she saw one!! (A cyclone!). She said they weren't huge cyclones!!! She said Stu will be ringing his Mom soon, honest!!! (Stu, DON'T FORGET!!!).

Sharon Hey Guys, The photos are fab. Looks like you are having a great time - I'm very jealous!!! Load of love Sharon XXXX
