Highlights of 2008:
Most studious Miles: James passed lots of exams relating to his work, one of which only has a 25% pass rate. He also started attending Exeter College a couple of evenings a week to do a management class.
Hardest Part: Noah, our last child to start Pre-School went after Easter break. (I held back from sending him in January!)
Best one-liner: After explaining why Ben couldn’t have his own bedroom and that when I grew up I didn’t either, he replies ‘Mum. In the words of Bob Dylan, the times they are a changin'!’

Best road trip: From Provo to Yellowstone Park. Stunning scenery and there were no kids getting bored!! Best of all, as I couldn’t walk farther than 10 metres without gasping for air, this road trip was perfect. Which leads on to…
Worst 30th birthday ever: After flying out to Utah with James to be with Jay for our 30th, I was ridiculously ill and spent the morning at instacare inhaling drugs and the afternoon/evening passed out in bed. No food either!
Most fun reunion: Our little England BBQ in Provo was so fun, and to be with all my ex-pat friends (and American comrades) for the afternoon was the best!
Most hilarious dancer: Ethan, performing to Christina Aguilera’s Genie in a Bottle for his school pantomime. The concentration and seriousness was enough to get me laughing for all the wrong reasons!
Best love: Noah: ‘Mummy, do you know something? I love you!’ followed by big hugs and kisses.

Passionate about music: I decided to spend time doing things I love, and seeing live music was one of them so I got to see Little Lost David:
Brandi Carlile:
Phil Campbell:
Brandi Carlile again:
Kim Richey:
Most talkative Miles: That would be Rosie hands down. She doesn’t stop. Ever. Even if it’s nonsense or in her sleep!
So, there are some little insights into the life of the Miles’ during 2008. I hope to keep you a little more updated during 2009, although it is now February and I have missed a whole month! This year has been eventful already…we had Ben being knocked off his bike by a car on the way to school (involving police, ambulance and nearly fire brigade!)...Noah discovered that his ears are attached to his head and face...Rosie actually tidied up her bedroom...I learned to play a whole song on my guitar...Ethan survived a fall from the top bunk onto the corner of Noah’s bed without breaking his back…and James willingly watched Enchanted twice!
