A few more pictures

I think we have finally settled into a bit of a routine around here, for the most part. Blake is getting settled into his new role and is hoping to find a new central office that will be conveniently nearby (not planned, but lucky for us!). The kids and I are meeting new people and enjoying the Aussie lifestyle more and more each day... all is well here in Sydney!

We had a great visit with Uncle Larry and Aunt Claudia although it was unfortunate that Larry was quite ill the entire time they were in Sydney. Fortunately we were still able to visit with them for a couple of days during their stay and unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the family! We really enjoyed spending time with them and can't say enough about how great it is to have a family visit so soon after moving to Australia.

Larry and Claudia also got to meet the latest addition to our family, our friendly Golden Orb Weaver spider we named Matilda (Mattie for short) who lives between our roof and tree in front of our house:

Don't worry, she's totally harmless.

And here are a couple of Annakin, being silly around the house

Finally, we spent last Saturday taking the ferry up to Manly beach again... this time just for some sights and a little family relaxation.

Here is one of Brady playing in the "spider web" in the centre of the play park there in the Corso:

And a funny one Blake took of Anna while I was looking after Brady.. she was NOT happy she couldn't play with the big kids...

And one of the 3 of us on the beachwalk:

We miss everyone so much and love getting news from home!!
