Hello 2010



2010...
new year...
new decade...
2010...
still can't get used to saying it! 
And if it's anything like last year, it will be over in the blink of an eye and I'll be trying to fathom 2011.....

Did you all have a magical Christmas and fun NY celebrations?  The best present many of us received is RAIN!!!  Oh my, such a relief......love that pitter-pattering on the iron roof, the whooshing through the downpipes refilling our tanks......and the green! - overnight our view turned from bare depressing brown to bright and brilliant emerald....a breath-taking sight that provides joy and optimism for a fantastic year.

A few pics from the Hackney family Chrissy:

Before....



After...



A new toy for the kids...



Another addition to the menagerie (Duffy the Kelpie - being loved by my adorable nephew Jake)...




















A pre-santa-photo photo of the princesses....














Day spa...Sunnydale-style...





















A visit to the infamous Green Valley Farm at Tingha...



Mia - free from training wheels at last...!


















All alone for the first time in 10 days....waved goodbye to the last of our guests this morning....always a bit sad!  We are left with a fridge full of leftovers and three exhausted little girls who suddenly have only each other to play with (excuse me while I go break up another tiff....).

Holy heck....it's really bucketing down now!  A glorious noise!  Almost tempted to run out in it!

Yep....it's gonna be a good year....a really good year.
