My sister Eleni has been over here since June 8th. She came as part of a missions trip and then stayed an extra few weeks with us. It has been great having a family member over here. There are some many things that you want them to see that are just a part of your everyday life. When we talk on Skype now she will know what we are talking about, she will have images to go with names, etc.
Eleni helped me take the wallpaper off in the kitchen, now I just have to figure out what color to paint the walls. There is ugly, bright red tile at the bottom, not sure what color would look best. If you have any ideas let me know.
We have been trying to do some Australian things with Eleni while she is here. We took her to a footy game, Geelong vs. Caralton. Rode the train to Melbourne, which is always enjoyable. This past weekend Brandon, Eleni, Josh & Sarah McEwen, and I went on the Great Ocean Road to show her the sights. Unfortunately it was overcast and rainy but we still had a lot of fun.
We started the trip with dinner at Moby Cafe. Before we left the cafe us girls took motion sickness tablets for the road. Unfortunately the wine at dinner and the pills where not the best combo. By the time we got to our cabin we could only mange to keep our eyes open till 10pm. Pretty sad for a Friday night and vacation : -)
Saturday, we hiked to some waterfalls, explored rock pools, saw the Twelve Apostles, and were soaked by some gianormous waves (see above pic). The surf was really up due to some incoming storms, great waves to watch crashing into the cliffs.
Today we are going to hunt for souvenirs and go to some opshops before she has to pack up. Two and a half weeks goes too quickly!

cool pics! i'm so glad LNI got to go down there to see yous guys. September 2007, here we come, I think :) man, flights are expensive though...might have to spend 3 weeks or something. :)
Jenn,
sounds good to us. 3 weeks will give you time to do quite a few things. Maybe go to Sydney, Tasmania, or something like that. We will make sure we have a double bed for you.
Great pictures!!!
You gotta be scientific about color choices. Get a color wheel out or print one off the WWW. Red tiles? That'll be tough. Green is the complement, but then you've got a Christmas-themed room. Almst. Not neccessarily, I suppose.

^^might help.
It was nice to see you sisters together again. I'm sure LNI will have memories of a lifetime. We'll pick her up at the airport tonight and get a full report. Hope Jolene will remember more her aunt LNI. Great pictures...I especially like those rock pools. It's amazing how God has placed his thumbprint in all corners of the world.
I just realized that there are no pictures of the "sweet thing" on here! Grampa needs Joleney pictures.
