We moved for the fourth time this year on Saturday, thus the reason for not writing for awhile. All went well and the move went very quickly thanks to all the help we received from our friends. Hopefully we will be able to settle here for the next several years, I am excited. It will be nice to have something we can start to personalize more. The house is great, nice and big. It needs some paint here and there and a few other cosmetic applications but I love the layout. We will put up pics soon.
Yesterday was July 4th. We had 35 people over to help celebrate the event. Lots of food as close to American as we could get. Sparklers, a patriotic reading, and a spontaneous singing of the national anthem help set the mood. Blackwoods came along with Eleni, McEwens, Harts, and a few other families all attended. We missed seeing fireworks but figured it was not worth ending up in jail to smuggle them across the border from Southern Australia. I guess Victoria outlawed them because too many people were getting hurt. I say they should allow them and if people get hurt then they need to learn how to be more careful. People get hurt in cars all the time and they aren't illegal. Anyway, the night was very enjoyable.
We are taking Eleni to a footy game on Saturday, go Cats!
My world cup prediction is not going very well. My final four teams are all out, so much for Brazil. Portugal is a surprise for me, might be cool if they won.
We had our ultrasound on Friday. The baby is alive and kick'n. We found out the sex....either a boy or girl, not both. We decided not to tell, : -) I guess you will all have to wait a few months.
I should go unpack some boxes, catch you up on more events later.

Meg,
Tell us about the picture. Don't be shy.
Tell Eleni we (mostly Charlie) say hi.
So....is that picture another "artsy fartsy" offering? I am anxious to find out what it is all about. Glad to hear that you are all moved and will look forward to more pix.
So about the pic...I guess I could come up with some deep meaning, like it represents time passing and how our technology will outlast us, therefore we should be careful in how it looks and feels. We don't want the next evolutionary process to think humans were monsters : -)
In reality, it is two digital, black and whites photos I took of stone sculptures on the beach front. I have been messing around with the double exposure option in Picasa. Sometimes you get something that doens't look so great and then sometimes you get a surprise. I hope you like it.
Jared, I will pass the message along.
Dad, I have taken some pics of the house will get them up soon.
