Bairnsdale

January 2, 2010 - January 13, 2010 we spent down in Bairnsdale visiting Paul's family and friends. We had a wonderful time. It was nice and peaceful. Thank you Paul and Karen for letting us stay at your house! The next few posts will be of our time spent there.

Christmas 2009

Our first Christmas as a family! It was a nice quiet day with just the four of us. We picked the kids up around 2 and came home and opened presents, had dinner, and just hung out together.


Our brand new tree.






Andrew was so excited about his new
Cricket set that he kept putting it on
and then taking it off all day long.




After this picture was taken, I said
we should open presents. Andrew
goes, "Whoa! Did you just put those
there? I didn't see them!"



Paul's brother and his sons came down and spent New Year's with us. I didn't get any pictures though. I know it's late, but Happy New Year everyone!

Brighton and St. Kilda

A few weeks ago we went for a drive and ended up at Brighton and then at St. Kilda. Here are some pictures from the day.

St. Kilda

Harness Racing

There is a racetrack about 5 minutes from our house and it's free to enter, so we like to go there for a cheap Friday night out. We took the kids for the first time in December. We had a great time and picked some winners!!

Thanksgiving

My first Australian Thanksgiving!!! We had Chelsea over for dinner and made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Andrew was sick so he couldn't make it. I also got some Thanksgiving roses!!!

Williamstown

The weekend of November 21-22, we went for a drive around the city and ended up in Williamstown. We had ice cream and then played frisbee. The kid's and I took a walk out to see the water too!









There was a wedding going on at the gazebo.

It's Been A While

I haven't posted anything in a looooong time. I just forgot about it actually. I have finally put the most recent pictures on the computer and will start putting them on here today. Oh, and feel free to leave comments! I'd love to hear from everyone!
