WELCOMING INTO THE WORLD MIA RAE WOODBRIDGE

So I went on the weekend to see the new edition to the family. A beautiful baby girl that goes by the name of Mia Rae Woodbridge. The proud parents, Benjamin Woodbridge & Rebecca Allan welcomed their second daughter last week and I was so glad that I made the trip to see her (along with Marven and Boi). Regardless of the five hour trip that we travelled, when normally it would take three hours by train or two hours by car, my only thought when I saw her peacefully sleeping, was that she was gorgeous. We even came to the conclusion that she sleeps like a Tongan and if you've ever had the chance to witness George aka Georgie Boi sleeping, you would know exactly what we mean (well minus the snoring that is).

I've also come to the realisation that we as cousins don't spend enough time with each other. Taking into consideration that we live far apart. Either in different Cities, States or Country for that matter. I wish it wasn't that way, but we could always make the effort. This occured to me more when Miya had moved to the States. The last year and half prior to him leaving, we had many mini trips either Ben coming down to Sydney or the Sydney cousins going up to New Castle for paintballing. My only regret and I know most of you would feel the same, is that we should of been doing this a long time ago. So thank you Miya, for drawing the family a little closer to our New Castle Cousins or in your case your brother.

So I don't want to waste anymore time, we're all growing older (in my case anyway) and a few of us have started a family, but let's make some time when we can. I know we can't do much with those that live in different States or Countries, but we could plan for something every four years? As for the Sydney crew and New Castle crew, I think we should do something together at the end of every month or two months and it could range from paintballing, to fishing trips, camping trips or just movie nights. In my next blog I'll post up the dates and potential events, if Ben can confirm that this is okay would be great and if you have work, we can always work around it.

So thank you Mia Rae, yourself and your namesake have something in common I suppose. You both draw us all a little closer. :)
