Who is this person you may ask? Why does her deserve a mention, and a photo, in the Lizards Playground? He is Abbey's boyfriend! After Matt's extreme nervousness about meeting Jake and his parents last night - and taking him to one of our traditional gatherings, he was desperately hoping to find something 'wrong' about this mild mannered young boy....
The findings so far- he's 5ft 11, is extremely well mannered (and a little shy) plays football, oz tag, does athletics, studies hard (apparently) at a private catholic college, works out, shows respect for all elders, did I mentioned extremely well mannered? He (so far) treats Abbey beautifully (even after his introduction to the 'tribe' and the children of the tribe did their best to test the poor boy) AND he can play guitar!!! His folks even drove from Bankstown to Glossodia at 1am to pick him up, stayed for an hour chatting and getting to know Matt (I've met them a couple of times now, and spoken a couple of times on the phone to Mum Kerrie) as he'd never been here before to sleep over (in Tulley's bed mind you). Am I sounding a little too impressed for my first real boyfriend experience as a parent????? It all seems to smooth flowing and good to be true.... she is so happy!
Watching Matt not knowing how to react, or where to look when they were on the lounge together - Abbey with legs across his lap (her lying down, him sitting at her feet end of the lounge just so you get the picture) or when they were holding hands at the party, were a couple of the precious & priceless moments for me.
So for the Novacastrian side of the family.... have a look :)

Enjoy the today you are gifted with.
Love you all.
They met through facebook, msn BUT only through Abbey's best girlfriend, who is almost like a relo to him. Basically, the Dad's are besty's, the Mum's were pregnant together etc etc etc. So after chatting for a couple of years, having a brief stint of "going out" (on the internet, I don't think so) they eventually met last school holidays. He came to Richmond, the three of them went to the movies together and hung out in Richmond for the day. After that, he phoned her and they chatted and stuff and then he asked her out.
She then Umpired at a Rep Carnival for netball at Bankstown and he came down there, spent the arvo and his Mum stayed for an hour or so, then we went to his house for a visit afterward. Next time was him coming to our house for the party. They chat most days on the phone, do the internet thing etc etc. It's really sweet.
oooorrrrrrrr how sweet!
