Aunty Georgina's whanau update
Kia ora Te Whanau
Well, I have heard all about the latest reunion from the Haengas and am very envious. Was very disappointed couldn't make it this year as I was really looking forward to it, especially now the boys are getting older and still don't really know their cousins all that well. I was really pining to come home to this one but it was not to be as we had a couple of new additions to our family (two nephews, Nanette's mokos) so it would have cost an arm and a leg to get us all home!! Never mind, 3 years gives us time to save and hopefully the older ones will be making millions of dollars by then and can pay for themselves, lol!!
I have attached our whanau photo to add to the site. This one is of Jamie's air force graduation in Adelaide (December 2005), back left: Jeremy, moi, Jamie, Anthony and AJ (left) and Benjamin (right) in the front. It's interesting to see all those Wai Brown "dials" on the kids!! Will send some more later.
Fantastic to have something like this to keep in touch with everyone! Looking forward to catching up with Matu, Judy and the kids next week as we are heading up to Queensland for a break.
Love to you all
Sister/Aunty Georgina, Bro/Uncle Anthony and all the cousins/boyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Next Brown Whanau reunion at Reporua 2009
After a family meeting the date has been set for the next Brown Whanau reunion at Reporua. 3 year intervals have been decided as the best option for our whanau as many now live in Australia. So in 2009 the Reporua Marae is booked for the Christmas - New Years period. Make sure you are there!
