He wears a lot of hats.

Matt had to be the umpire at the Stealers Game on Friday night. It is funny to see him playing as the ump in addition to being the coach and Jonah's dad. He had to wear a lot of hats at that baseball game (and they won! no thanks to Matt :)
(When I showed Matt the photo he said to mention on the blog that he called that a strike HA! and yes, it is Jonah hitting/jumping out of the way)

back from the Blue Mountains

We are trying to get in all the trips we can before we return to the US in July. The kids are on their Spring Break right now and so we took up the offer from the Pastors of our church to stay at their place in the Blue Mountains about 1.5 hours from our home in Sydney. (Tia said we could go to the Blue Mountains - she wanted to go to the PINK mountains!) We arrived on Monday. It was freezing cold. We visited Jenolan Caves on Tuesday. We rode on the Zig Zag Railway and then visited the Toy Museum on Wednesday. We couldn't stand the 5 degree daytime weather (about 40 degrees) - especially at night when we only had one little heater. There was no way we could do all the bush walks we wanted in that weather. We left a day early on Thursday. It was so great to get home and feel the warmth of central heating!

The kids favorite part of the trip?? The candy store of course (we went there 3 times!) :) how funny is this picture?

Gotchya!

Can you believe it has been 5 years already? Happy Gotchya Day Elijah! To celebrate we had a yummy berry swirl cake and a dance contest (pictures coming soon!) The mark on Elijah's face is what is leftover of face painting of a saber from the PLC Garden Party yesterday.

It was also Zeke's 5th Birthday today and he got a Lamb Shank to celebrate :) September 27th is a very special day in the Witt Family!

Australian (RED) Dust Storm!

We awoke yesterday to the sight of an eerie red sky . . . It seriously looked like what you would imagine could be the end of the world. It turned out to be a dust storm - only this was the red dust of Australia's Red Centre! It was crazy dusty. Jonah had to stay home from school because his asthma is so bad around dust. Everything is back to normal today - except maybe the outdoor furniture (the photo below is the patio table, showing where the candle was moved), the windows and the cars :)

3 Generations of Witt Boys!

One of my favorite photos from our trip to America in July.

Happy 43rd!

Happy Birthday Matt! I love this photo of Matt and his Mom.

Happy Birthday (a week early) Judie!

Witty girls.

A couple cute things that were said by the Witt girls.

Tia was trying to put her pajamas on however one leg was inside the other. Exasperated she says "I don't like this mermaid!"

Bella is getting ready for school pictures today and she says "I hope I'm not in the short row!" (what's the chance?)

Have a wonderful weekend :)
