Update!

 
Hello folks,
I haven't been doing a good job with this blog, for let's see... The past 7-8 months?

Well, the past year has been crazy... Not busy. Literally CRAZY. After Kathy and Ne left, Nico settled down in his new job but moved lab location; I got a new job, a new grant, a new lab; we moved to a new house, Tiare started a new instrument -Cello, Antoine started a new language -Spanish, and we all filled our Permanent Residency paperwork.
All this was done while overseas, my mom bravely fought Lymphoma and won. I'm so proud of her, love you mom!

We also made new friends, not as good as the old ones just yet ;) but promising! I wonder how long they'll be our friends if they read this :)


Meanwhile, we had Nico's family visiting. We've been to Noosa again and to Tangalooma. We fed the birds and saw more koalas and went to the beach, and BBQed.
We're blending in the Aussie landmark and lifestyle as much as possible, all for the best. Kids have "mates" and sleepovers and playdates, we have a favorite coffee shop and a favorite bakery. As close as it gets to call here home!

I'll try and update soon the "Kathy's trip" part of this blog. The reef is calling me again, and I'd like to share some pic's with everyone. Next on my list.

For next school vacation, we plan to fly out to Uluru then rent a campervan and hit the road! Night sky are just amazing here and I'm very excited about taking the kids camping for the first time.

Until the next time, good da' mate!
