while i have no pictures of the event, im still very proud!!

a week and a half ago, my neighbors house caught fire while the mother was cooking with hot grease. the fire went through the vent that is in the ceiling and caught the attic on fire, so when the mother thought that he fire was all out, it had really started burning above her and she didnt know until the neighbor called and said her house was on fire!

anyway, the firemen had to put the fire out, they busted a lot of the ceiling out to get to it. the insulation was burning out of control in the attic. the kitchen was a total waste, the rest of the house was a mess with the chemicals all over the place and water damage, smoke damage and whatnot....

the mother doesnt speak much english at all, she has a 14 year old daughter who is very sweet and goes to school with my son. both of my kids have become friends with her. anyway, then there is a 3 year old little boy who is deaf and a 6 month old baby. she is a single mom, there is no man in the household.

ok, so, they were told obviously that they had to leave most everything there and that not much could be saved.

my daughter - all by herself and without me knowing, took it upon herself to go around the neighborhood to the houses that have had babies recently to ask if they had anything they could donate to the family.

within 24 hours my 11 year old had collected the following...
* 7 bags of clothes for the baby and a few things for the others.
* 3 brand new bottles
* a really nice, almost new car seat with a matching walker that had lots of toys attached.
* new baby toys
* 1 can of formula
* a stroller
and a few other odds and ends...


i was so very proud of her

Awww now show a recent one .....shes what 16 now?

rugrat was in the inter school running carnival. his relay team came 4th, he came second in one hundred metres, but the one he was most proud of was his 4th in the 200 metres, he didnt think he would come anywhere.

last year he was on the front page of our local paper the day of the AFL grand final. hawks won the sig is that of hawthorns coach alistair clarkson which i got when he and a few team members brought the premiershio cup to Hobart ( our state Tasmania is a sponsor) we knew his picture was going to be in the paper, but not half of the front pg
