I do want to start by bringing your attention to the plight of our friends in New Zealand; it was one month ago to the day of this latest earthquake that we were walking the streets that are now in ruins. We were inspired to see the efforts of their rebuilding from the Sept shake but this, this is devastating to watch on TV. Please consider helping in whatever way you can.
On a happier note, live has settled into a more regular routine with the boys and Wendy enjoying school life Aussie style. The boys enjoy our daily visits to the local parks where they continue to make friends. Every Friday a group of parents meet after school and hang out at the local park with the kids and some bevi's; last Friday lasted to after 8pm and saw us meet several of the locals.
The boys also started Field Hockey - here's some fun for you: go to this website:

Now, play a little game of Where's Waller - Jack is on the home page and both boys are under the "junior" tab at the top - they are both wearing their black soccer jerseys. Strange sport though, you can't shoot left!
Wendy got to go on a three day camping trip down toward Canberra with her school, she got up close and persoanl with the local wildlife, especially the leeches!!
Enjoy the photos and remember, if you haven't been here in a bit, check the Archives for previous postings.

Great to see you are enjoying Australia, in the very part of the city we used to live. I'm sure you will explore all the kid-friendly highlights.
