"First Post of 2008"

Well 2008 is here. It got off to a fairly boring start for the Gruar family with us all being tucked up in bed well before the strike of midnight. Poor Phil had to work New Years Day, hence us doing very little and just focusing on getting a good nights sleep.

We did however have a big weekend with friends to make up for our slack NYE. Saturday night we enjoyed the company of the Bowalds and headed out for a nice meal, we then returned to our house for more drinks and of course swimming.

Speaking of swimming, I can very proudly say Jack is no longer wearing any flotation devise, swims underwater and dives down to collect things from the bottom!! Well Done Jack!!

Now back to our weekend, on Sunday we then headed out to Brooke's parents house for a spit lunch to celebrate Rivers 1st Birthday, this lunch ended up continuing to us staying for tea and leaving late in to the night with Phil sunburnt to a crisp and just a bit intoxicated.

All in all we had a fun weekend, which made up for our none existing NYE! Good food, Good Wine and Great Friends, What more could you ask for!!
