THE ARRIVAL OF MICHAEL

Our Nephew, Michael Anthony James Godfrey, arrived in this world safely on Feb 12 2010. Here he is only minutes old.

1950'S HOLLYWOOD OSCARS BALL

FEB 6th. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust once again held another memorable and fun filled fundraiser, this time at Luca Restaurant http://www.luca.ky/. The 1950's Hollywood Ocsar event buzzed with excitement from the red carpet to the amazing decor by Lions Productions . Glamorous dresses and old Hollywood style costumes set the scene for a successful evening. Rebecca Davidson http://www.picturethis.ky/ and her crew did an amazing job capturing the evening on film, and Craig from One World rocked the night on the turntables. David was away on business so Tina attended solo.

BOXING DAY

The kids ended the year being charitable. The four of us assisted with the Annual Rotary Senior Citizens Boxing Day Lunch once again, serving over 250 lunches to the elderly. David, a Past President of the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman, now has the whole family involved. It feels good to give back!

RYAN HARD AT WORK

Our little entrepreneur enjoyed his holiday job at the Fireworks Store. We received many positive comments about how knowledgeable and helpful he was. Ryan worked hard at his first job stocking shelves and assisting customers with their questions and purchases.

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 2010

RYAN'S 11TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

DEC 18TH. As the final bell rang at school for the holiday, Ryan and 13 of his best friends went right into party mode, enjoying an afternoon at the Surf Park. The rain that threatened the party all afternoon seem to have been an enhancement to the boys. Pizza and cake at The Brick House rounded out the very wet day. Ryan's 11th birthday party (celebrated 2 weeks early) was a great start to the Christmas vacation.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

While rain loomed on the horizon, the crew worked diligently to ensure the pour of the second floor slab went smoothly for Casa Kirkaldy. A convoy of concrete trucks kept coming all morning into the early afternoon, completing the pour by about 3pm. The crew are now enjoying a well deserved rest for the holidays before work begins on the walls, trusses and the roof in January.

TINA'S FIRST HALF MARATHON

Dec 6th. Yes I did! And bought the photograph to prove it!

CHRISTMAS CONCERTS

Year 4 concert, "What's Christmas all About?". Year 6 teamed up with Year 3 to bring us "Christmas Around the World"

THE KIDS AND THEIR SPORTS

Cayman Prep & High School dominated the inter primary sports this term. The sailing team, which Ryan is on, won the RBC School Sailing Championships in November with a close and exciting win over the reigning champs. A few weeks later, Prep dominated at the Inter Primary Tag Rugby Festival where all Prep teams won in their respective divisions (Ryan was on the Year 6 team). Last week, Taylor swam the breaststroke and freestyle for Cayman Prep in the inter primary swimming competition. Prep was victorious once again, holding onto their title from last year.
