Our apartment in Australia

Our Kitchen Our view (and Greg's room- Greg, Jeremy's brother, is staying with us for awhile and since we have only two bedrooms, he gets the closed in patio as a room:))

Our Living room

the "Toilet" -People don't say 'I need to go to the bathroom' here, they say "go to the toilet". It makes sense because the toilets are usually seperated from the "bathroom"

The bathroom (and behind me is the washroom)

Kylee's room

Our bedroom

The view from our bed...

Well, I know these are probably boring, but I don't really care! So here they are.

Sausage Sizzle

Sausage sizzles are a part of the Australian culture. Just pack up the "bangers'(sausages kind of like a hot dog, but real meat) and some bread and tomato sauce and head to the beach. Invite a few friends along the way (Greg and Nanny were the only ones who could come this time)

It doesn't hurt to fry up some zuccinis, tomatoes and onions to add to the meal... all you do is take the sausage, put it on a piece of bread (similar to a hot dog bun) slop on some sauce and eat up! As you can see, it was really yummy!

The man's job is to sizzle the sausages. The beaches have been equipped with barbeques at every picnic spot. Just push a button and the plate heats up! (you have to bring your own man though, they don't come for free!)

Verdict...Success! Just pack up what's left, take a quick night walk on the beach and head on home.

What a wonderful life!:)

Peanut butter, jelly and SAND sandwich!

We decided to pack a lunch and go down to the beach for lunch! It was lots of fun! It's been a HOT spring here is Australia and we have taken advantage of it! The fountains are really fun! Kylee loves her daddy!

PBJ&S sandwiches! The "crunch crunch" is the best part! After the first freak out about the sand being everywhere, I decided to surrender my losing battle with sand while at the beach. Eat up Ky!!!!!!!

Me and my girl!

"our beach" King's beach.

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was my 2nd anniversary. It was a wonderful day. It's so fun to think about how different things are compared to two years ago. Jeremy and I both agree that we've both changed and grown a lot since then (for the better). I'm so lucky to be married to Jeremy, he is a great husband and father and most of all, he's a great friend. I love him so much, heres to the future!
Well, enough with the soppy love stuff, Kylee had her first swimming lessons last Thursday. She did so well!! They do a class for babies to help them learn how and when to hold their breathe and how to grab onto something when they're under water if they drown. I thought I'd give it a try. Here are some pics....

Verdict: We love it! I wish every day was Thursday so that Kylee could have swimming lessons!!

New photos of us in our new home!

Here are a few pictures of us down by the beach that we live by. It's so beautiful to live here in Australia. There are so many things that remind me daily of our Saviour's creation! This is what life is REALLY about - FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, life is great down unda! Greg, Jeremy's brother arrived safely and we're all getting settled (again!!!) We're also getting closer and closer to Jeremy getting his VISA!!! pray for us that it will all happen in time!!!!

still alive...

Well, we're still alive and doing well. I haven't had much time to post, but there is always something going on....I will POST SOON!!!!!!!!!!!
