this is a pic of matt playing in his first gig on saturday. unfortunately i didn't get to hear him - except for the endless hours of practice at home. mark did though and said he played so well and was clearly the most popular member of the band with the crowd - who just happened to be mainly female.and no bias here of course....not one little bit
*wink*
don't know if it will lead onto more gigs with this band or whether he will be spurred on to get the band that he has formed playing at some venues. i would prefer that he chanelleged his energies into getting a job but hey...he is our son and we love him and will support him however we can.
we have seen many of our friends' children "go off the rails" in the past once that support seems to dry up from home.
mark and i don't pretend to have all the answers but loving your kids and supporting them and helping guide them has got to be a good thing we think.
and this is a pic i took of my beautiful boy today, standing on the balcony as we watched the tree loppers lopping our tree. i happened to have the camera and he turned and smiled at me and i snapped this pic.
i just love it and of course i will be scrapping it as soon as i can get one printed up.
i look into his eyes and i can still see the tiny baby they put in my arms almost 18 years ago.
where have those years gone...???
where is my baby boy who loved sitting on my knee and cuddling me and listening to me read his "thomas the tank engine" stories.
boohoohoo - i want my baby back.
looking at this pic i guess i can see why the girls were screaming out his name on saturday night when he was on stage.
and here is one of our beautiful and VERY VERY large gums (it's about 50m tall) having the vine removed from it today. the pest control guy discovered termites in the tree after we found a nest of them in the garden - the house is protected by a barrier method called "term-guard" thankfully.
we are so lucky that this tree is on council land - removing the vine, and the overhanging limbs and "widow makers" + treating it for termites would have been about a $5000.
the tree straddles our proerty and the council reserve boundary but because we are in a koala corridor and it is illegal to lop the tress, it is the council's responsibility to take care of any dangerous limbs.
the tree looks very bear now but it will be so much easier for the koalas to climb it.
now the tree surgeon will do some core sampling to see how much damage the termites have done and the worst case scenario is that the whole tree will have to come down.
i'll let you know the outcome.
so thanks for letting me be very self indulgent about my eldest born in my post today.
no scrapping today.....yet.
hopefully tonight i will get some done.
have a great tomorrow everyone

Hubba hubba! No wonder the girls were screaming for him. He's gorgeous - very easy on the eye. I think if I was a young teenager I'd sure be wanting him to look my way. OMG, he will break a lot of hearts.
I hope that there are not too many termites in the tree and that it can be easily treated. It would be a shame to lose such a gorgeous gum.
Shazz, If I was a lot of years younger, i would be on the next plane over...hubba hubba alright rofl. I can definately see why he's getting so much attention. Keep those vixens away lol.
How lucky he is too have played at a gig, My son is on this road himself with the guitar and getting a band together. It is nice to be able to be behind them in this way isn't it.
He's a cutie mum! Mamma get your shot gun while the girls line up at home! I look at my boys baby photos the same way, even more so when no. 1 son is being 'tricky' to handle, cope with or understand.
It's just one day at a time hey!
Cheers

Whada honey! He'll be a heartbreaker, Shazz. 'Specially being in a band and all that.
Yeah, trees can be expensive things, can't they? We had one that was rotten and we wanted to cut it down. The council wouldn't let us until we got an arborist (?sp?) to certify that it was a danger - hundreds of dollars later....
