English Meldrum's







Hi all,
It seems a long time since we have written sorry about that. I finally downloaded our Meldrum Family Camp pictures today. So I will try to send some pictures.
Our camp was a nice break to Mother Ive's Bay we spent a lot of time going to the beach and on walks. The weather seemed to cooperate 50% of the time. Though forty mile an hour winds with rain at night was very memorable. Kim wants a more sturdy tent next year. Also memorable was the 6 hour wait on the motorway in a 20 mile backup because of an accident on one of the bridges. But the views and the private beach was worth it. There was also a surfing competition one day which was fun to watch.
Britainy is working part time at Clarks shoes which she seems to love and going to college the rest of the time if she's not those two places she is with one of her friends. So we have to book in time to see her.

Rachelle has had a very busy few months with the start of Senior School and going into Young Women's. Kim tried to get her into Commonwheal where Britainy went to school but it was full and we were just outside their catchment area so Rachelle is going to Churchfields which is closer. It hasn't got as good a report as Commonwheal but Rachelle has Jassica, one of her best friends, going with her and I am relieved to have her in a school that is only 10 minutes walk away. Also her other best friend, Lucy, who was having a hard time at Commonwheal just transferred to Churchfields making Rachelle even happier.

Rachelle also just came back from youth conference last weekend and loved it, especially the testimony meeting.

Krystal misses having her sister to walk to school with but now she has her brother she's a good sister. She has just started a Polish club learning about the Polish culture. That is Kim's background and we are excited to have her learn some things that will be part of her heritage.

Jared is loving school and doing really well on his school work. His teacher describes him as energetic! He has been excited for his birthday and he kept asking how many weeks left. It is tomorrow and he has just had a wonderful week already. He is a really good boy.


Kamyla is our little joy and a big pain in the neck! She is just a little darling. She loves Singing Popcorn Popping, Incy Wincy Spider, and Old McDonald. I have nick named her Shirley Temple because she has such gorgeous golden curls. I just want to cuddle her all the time!

Kim and I have been sick and dealing with sick children for a few weeks. Not fun!

Kim has been so excited for her birthday party. (the big 4-0) She still has 7 weeks! Every body is invited of course, so get your tickets now.
