Meet My Family

Anne-Maree and Carly; Actual size=180 pixels wide

My daughter Anne-Maree and my grand-daughter Carly
Anne-Maree is 37 years old and is a CCC, accredited child care worker. She is married to Tony and they have been married almost 10 years. Anne-Maree runs a privately owned day care centre for the owner and has worked in childcare since she was 17 years old (for the same boss), the first 6 months as an unpaid helper. She is a very capable lady and business woman and excels at her job. I am very proud of the woman she is.
Carly is 9 years old and the apple of my eye of course. She is a sweet little lady, doing very well at school, and I am happy that I was in a financial position that enabled me to provide her with a computer to enhance her education. Carly is the typical little girl, loves her dolls and her puppy I bought her a couple of years ago 'Benny'. She is an only child so of course she is a bit more adult than a child who has brothers or sisters. She goes to dancing classes and loves to dress up in her finery, with sometimes trashy looking makeup, lipstick all over her face and her beautiful long hair done in trendy styles. She recently had her ears pierced and thinks she is pretty spectacular - which of course she is!

My son John
John has done extremely well since he left school and works for a private company where the owner took him under his wing and treats him like a son more than an employee. John is very astute and has worked his way up the ladder from a clerk to a manager with a number of titles under his belt, including Assistant General Manager, Branch Manager, QA Manager etc. He lives about 3.5 hours west of Sydney and is Branch Manager for his company in a large country town where he has lived for a few years now. He is a bachelor and is 35 years old. Such a shame that he hasn't found the love of his life yet, but I live in hope as he will be some catch for the right lady.  I still miss him and the times he comes home are special for me.

My son Aaron
Aaron is 34 and is a toolmaker by trade; however once he finished his apprenticeship he gave the trade away. He has had a number of different jobs, and often no job. He is a kind of a wanderer. He worked hard in spurts, saved his money, then lived off it and didn't work. Ideal lifestyle I guess if you are satisfied with out the trappings of society. He hates city life, loves to be in the country roughing it. I hope he gets his life together soon, I can't help him anymore.
