We hope everyone had a beautiful holiday season--it's hard to believe this year is over. 2005 brought so many surprises an life changing events, but everyone sems a little bit wiser and more compassionate. Our hats are off to Tom "Dad" Loganbill!
He is the man of the year in our books as a cancer survivor and eternal optimist!
Well, it's the first week of the new year here and it seems the children have taken over the village. There is constant beating of the lali (the village drum), kerosene compression bombs, water fights, and so much shouting and singing you'd think a carnival was in town!
The Styles Family came before Christmas and we had a lovely time on the island.
WELCOME AT THE AIRPORT
The villagers just loved seeing family and of course the food just kept coming.
WITH THE VILLAGERS
We then went on an express tour in Australia with the Fam covering most of the east coast.
THE FAMILY IN AUSTRALIA
We spent our Christmas with Aunt Lynne and Steve in their beautiful home they built just north of Brisbane. We spent time exploring the coast and chatting with their friends who were the first Aussie's to sail around the world! It was just wonderful to gorge on good food, good wine, unlimited ice, and of course, to spend time with family.
DREW AND AUNT LYNNE
After all the indulgence coming home was a bit hard, but we are still in love with our village life and especially our big bellied dog, Tave.
We hope this new year brings new inspiration and happiness! Our love to everyone.
