Hey Wes,so good to see you here and hear about Brendan....still waiting for piccies though!

Many of you were such a comfort when Fiona went off to University, and when her dad died and when Chris, who had been living with him came home again, I feel you know my kids already.

Fiona is now almost finished her degree and looks set for a double first if her marks remain consistent.She's thinking about her options but will probably stay at school and do a Masters, and then Phd.She's an intelligent and beautiful young woman with a wicked sense of humour and highly developed sense of the ridiculous, I feel priveleged to be her mother.

Chris has gone off to college,he chose to go 'home' to do that and I miss him terribly.He has had to grow so much in the last year and a half and rose to the challenge in way that makes me proud and ache all at the same time.His course isn't charted yet but he has all the right equipment to get where he needs to be in time.I wish their father could see them, he would be so proud.

Thanks for inviting me to boast shamelessly MMario :)
