Tonight is a special night. Tonight my cousin from America is coming over for dinner. I haven’t seen him in quite a while and I am really looking forward to it. He has been living in America for over 2 years and now he has moved back to New Zealand. 

Today I played netball for my team the Mini Marshmallows. We lost big time. It was a very close game at the start but after the half time we lost it. The other team got alot of goals. I was quite disappointed because I would have liked to win this game but at least we were kind of close.

Hayleigh, my freind, stayed over last night. We had ALOT of fun laughing and giggling until about midnight when we finally fell asleep.  We were doing the 20 hour famine but we didn’t have any sponsors so it didn’t really matter that we ate dominoes for dinner and magills for afternoon tea. WHOOPS?

We got a call early in the morning from my Uncle and we knew straight away that the baby had been born. It was a boy as me and my sister had said all along. He had blonde hair and looked alot like my Uncle. This morning as we were all laying in bed the phone rang and it was my Uncle again. And after 8 days Baby Mac(he was called this because of his last name) had finally gotten a name. My Aunty is Scottish so we knew it would be something scottish. His name is now Machrie Harris. You pronounce it Makree and it is a scottish name. My uncle has now got 4 children. This picture is of my Uncle with Machrie and then two of my cousins Ella is the oldest one and Gracie is the younger one. I am very happy to have a new cousin and I am really glad its a boy because we don’t have many boys in the family and it was nice to have a change.
