Our First Time at the Beach!

Well, even though it's the dead of winter, and it is frequently cold, we couldn't resist the call of the beach. It was a "warm" wintery day and so we thought we'd go down for a visit. Kylee LOVED it. Jeremy got in because I challenged him to get in and bodysurf back to the shore. He did it while kylee and I cheered him on! It was pretty cold OUTSIDE the water, but the water temp actually only varies 2 degrees C all year round and wasn't the bad. Of course, that's my opinion after getting just my feet wet! I was too chicken...

...but Kylee wasn't! If I'd let her, she would've been in up to her head! She would sit down and throw a tantrum if I didn't help her walk in the direction of the waves. You can see in the picture how her feet are moving faster than her body!

This is the view of our beach....I know it looks like any other beach, but I thought I'd take a picture of it anyway and share it with all...:)

Well, we're doing well still and starting to settle in. We're trying to sell our car and make a little money on it so that's keeping Jeremy busy. We're learing new terms like "rego" and "go get your road worthy". It's different here! People really do say "g'day mate" and "bauby" and pretty much any word can be shortened if you just drop the ending and add a "y" or an "o" to it! Hence registration is now "rego" or breakfast is now "brecky" and dinner is "dinny". Ha ha. It's great.

It is very cold though and it's interesting to think that I'm having a hard time with it...I did just leave Salt Lake where it has plenty of cold weather. The only difference is that homes here (atleast ours) isn't equipped with heaters and insulation etc. so unless you bundle up your buns and turn on a space heater, you basically freeze. But it's really not taht bad, just in the morning and night and sometimes on especially cold days.

Kylee is growing up so much. Since posting last, I've noticed ANOTHER tooth coming in on the bottom and she learned how to clap yesterday. She says "uh oh" all the time and is balancing while standing up if she holds on with one hand. She's fighting me on naps and is starting to have a little attitude and I'm loving it. It's just a sign that she's growing into a new person and I'm excited to learn what she's like.

Well I'm going to go now, my hands are FREEZING! love to all...
