Introducing . . .

Our very first teenager! Happy Birthday Jonah :)

Kindergarten Open Day.

It was such fun going to Elijah's Kindergarten Open Day! Tia and Ellie were able to see Elijah's schoolwork, look at all the artwork displayed in the classroom and enjoy the songs and skits the children performed. Do you notice anything different about Elijah??

Poor Bella :(

After our trip two weeks ago where we made the grueling one hour climb to the top of Uluru (the world's largest monolith and an Aboriginal sacred site and Australia's most famous natural landmark). I had to take Isabella to the Dr.

Isabella complained quite a bit about her ankles and knee hurting during the climb (and had been complaining previous to this trip) but she made it to the top! When we got home she was really complaining so I took her to the Dr. and now she is not allowed to do gymnastics for 3 weeks! She has achilles injuries in both legs and a hurt knee on one side. This photo was taken right after the climb and I guess you can tell by the look on her face that she was unhappy - poor Bella :(

Rugby photos.

He is very agressive and has a nose for the ball. Of course we knew that like, when he was ONE :)

Uluru. the red center.

Jonah, Isabella & I (ellie) spent the weekend at Uluru, also called Ayers Rock. This is in about the center of the country and is known for being the huge red rock. here is a photo of Uluru at sunset.
