Hello, it's a scorching 38 here today.... and loving it. Jacob's swimming lessons are going quite well and he's enjoying it. We are off to Alisons tonight for a swim and dinner. Not doing much at all for New year, to much of a pain with the kids, might just go to a friends place for a couple of hours. I'm sure you guys will have a ball in New York!! I'm booking yours/Emma's/Tara's services for a week at the start of June, we are off to Adelaide to show off the new baby!!! Looking forward to your next blog/chapter. Tess

Sounds like you are all having fun....snow on the ground counts as a white christmas! Nathan is getting ready to leave for the USA on Jan 20th so looking for lots of New York City hints from you all ...enjoy New Year!!

Finally the hot weather has arrived, and it's going to be a very hot new year. Jacob starts swimming lessons tomorrow which will be good and interesting. Gotta go Renae is running amuck.

Merry Christmas from all of us and hope it's not too cold for you. Give our love to Clare and Don. Eily is heading off to bed now in anticipation of Santa (she has met him about another 10 times since Cadbury World). Suzanne has been tracking Santa on the website and he has done Australia, Russia and is on his way to Europe so may run out of presents before he gets to you!I bet Hawaii seems a long way off now. I see your mum and dad couldn't face being on their own and are off to Nickys. We are having the Brannigan get together on Sunday. Seamus, suzanne & Eily XXX

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! USA STYLE I GUESS! Can't remember where you said you were going to be for Christmas but I hope you all have a great Christmas, and get a half decent Christmas dinner. We are heading up to Nicky's mid morning and staying for lunch, seeing your folks there, not sure what the afternoon and evening plans are yet. Go with the flow I guess. It's not going to be very hot, only 28! I'm sure I have over done the presents for the kids, will find out tonight when I try to put them all under the tree. Madly baking goodies at the moment for tomorrow, figured this is a good Christmas to indulge cause I'm only going to get fatter anyway!! Missing you guys heaps. Chat (message) soon. Lots of love for Christmas.... Tess, Sean, Jacob, Renae and still no idea!

Hello, Thanks for the wake up text this morning!!!!!! Thanks (I think) for the birthday message, I'm assuming you didn't rehearse it before hand. Had a good night out with all the water polo girls last night, there ended up being 17 of us. Hope you manage to get to the Nutcracker for your Birthday Siobhan, treat yourself to something nice anyway. By the way have you cut your hair.... looks shorter in the photo's. Siobhan I will transfer that money tonight into your account for the kids. Talk again soon, Tess

Dear SET, looks like you are all having quite a time out foreign. I have a cold now from just looking at your photos. It is nice and hot here at the moment just thought i would share that info with you. I had to give your cat a shower this morning at 6.15am, he was black. He is on the desck at the moment dictating this Blog. While i remember happy birthday donot get to drunk on that Indian fire water, mum and myself will have a beer on it . Tommy and Jan are at Noels and his heating is not working so they are cold as well. I am getting a cramp in my finger from all this writing. I have wrote the message about six times today and will try again. keep the photos coming. This is your lot till tomorrow. Stay safe. .-.. --- ...- . mum & dad.
