IT'S A NEW YEAR! JANUARY 2018
Hello my darling Emily!
You love being a part of the family sundowners at Greg and Sharon's on a Friday night. Everyone brings a plate or two of snacks and we all share. You won't remember, but we used to get together at Patty's house for family bring-and-share. It is wonderful to be a part of a family with aunties, uncles, grannies and grandpas. And, also with our furry family like Leo and Oscar, and Muffy.
You were fine until you got to school but then you burst into tears. Awe, my darling - your lovely teacher gave you a hug and let you phone him using her phone. What a kind teacher you've got this year. Dad was out of hospital by afternoon and then a week later he flew to London for a week's conference.
It's a New Year and the last few months of your first decade. We never know what exciting things a New Year has in store for us. New friends, visits to different places, family moving to Durban, more get-togethers and holidays. A new teacher and a new year at school. You must embrace them all

You had a fund day at Elizabeth's birthday party at Hazelmere Dam
Mom and Dad decided to surprise you with tickets to the Katy Perry concert in Johannesburg in July. Mom cut up pieces of a puzzle and hid them with clues to where to find all the pieces. When you found them all, and put the pieces together, it spelt 'KATY PERRY'!
You went back to school on 17 January and this year you've got a lovely
teacher - very kind and who likes to give praise and hugs!
Your Dad had to have go to the hospital to have a small procedure on his elbow

Usually I am the one who plays dress-up with you but this time
Gumpie put on your Egyptian hat for fun!
