7th February, 2000 Dear John, You must accept
my apologies, John, for not having written sooner but we were just so busy over
the Christmas and New Year season. Firstly I would like to thank you for the
kids’ Christmas presents. They were happy with them and could hardly wait to
open them. Secondly thank you ever so much for the beautiful
calendar. The scenes are very beautiful and we cannot get over the peaky
mountains. We now have a new addition to our family. Our new
daughter arrived nine days early on 2nd February. We have decided to call her
Nicole Alison and all is well. I’m having a lovely rest here in the Forbes
hospital, but I’m to go home in a couple of days. Stephen was disappointed he
didn’t get a brother, but he doesn’t seem to mind now. Monica of course just
loves the baby and I feel she’ll be trying to mother her all the time. Julianne
and Ted were happy, too, of course. I guess there will be great excitement when
we go home. Well, John, I must finish now. You will now have an
excuse to come and see us again and meet the new member of the family. You
should know by now that you are welcome any time because we enjoy having
you. All the very best and thank you again for your lovely
gifts. With best wishes
Ted & Julie What happened to Ted & Julie
