Dad and Val

  

Dad and Val are very busy as usual, both at work and around their house.
The house is looking very different to what it was when they first moved in there. Dads bowling lawn is almost finished and then I think he is planning a football field for the front paddock!
 

Day and Jill

  
Well for Day and Jill their house too is looking very different to when they moved in, in fact now that the two oldest live in the garage, it feels like a new, bigger house!
Day extended the back of the garage and added two bedrooms and a bathroom to it, allowing Amy and Brendan the privacy of their own space and the rest of the family some peace and quiet.
Everyone else is doing fine and dandy.
 

Liam and Bev

  
Liam and Bev also have changed the look of their house drastically since they bought it. (what is it with us Graves, why can't we just buy a house we like in the first place LOL). Joel has an amazing loft-type setup in his new bedroom and a secret (well not so secret now!) tunnel through the attic to the girls room AND a skylight. Lucky chap can sleep under the stars.
 

Jemma and Alistair

  
Well Jemma thought she had it sussed...She managed to get her 2 eldest teenagers to leave home, only to have one move back in after a short while.
Jem and Ali are the only ones who appear to have bought a house and left it pretty much intact, maybe the fact they had it built for them in the first place has something to do with that!
They are still very busy with their printing business and both work real hard there...if you need any printing done, give JMJ Printcraft, Paraparaumu, New Zealand a call, They do a brilliant job.
 

Blaise

  
Well I don't own a house so I am not in the middle of renovations at all. What I am in the middle of is a very new career. I am in my second year of teaching in an area I love..computing. Not only am I doing a job I have always wanted to do but I am teaching something I enjoy heaps.
My two children are growing up far too fast and I am not sure who is more stubborn, my daughter, me or Dad!
 

Declan and Louise

  
Dec and Louise are another couple who have worked very hard in order to be able to build their own home. Considering they have two children under five and have lived in a house bus for the last 4 years I think they deserve it! Louise is back at work now after Finn's birth and from all accounts is very glad too. Both children are doing great and the house is coming along fine.
 

Jacinta

  
Jacinta has her own home but the most major things that have gone on there recently are a new roof going on and her sleep-out being lined and soon to be painted. She has not long started in a new job at the local hospital and is working with someone she knows very well.....she is Help Desk support for the Network Team Liam works on.
