Our Adventures continue

Hi everyone we are sorry that it has been a while since I last wrote a blog It's the same old story. Time is flying by and we are keeping busy.  Now reading my last blog I left you hanging for photos of Felicity's first swimming lesson with Daddy, so I suppose that would be a good place to start.

Felicity is really enjoying her swimming lessons, I swear she knows when it is Monday morning. Though I think it will be a while before she is splashing her hands and feet like the others, as she is far to in to people watching instead.

During the last few months we have been getting out the bikes a far bit, thanks to our friends Jon and Liz who have lent us the use of their bike trailer. We are having great fun and Felicity loves it.

Over the last few months Mark has also been away a far bit with work. On one of these occasions Felicity and I kept busy by going to see the children's performance and a day out with the Girl Guides.

During our fun it appears from the photos I have found on Mark's computer that he was having fun in the field. Doing what he likes best apart from spending time with his family, playing with soil.

Felicity has been getting to know her friends from our Mother and baby group a little better. We've had a number of coffee mornings and a BBQ for the dads to meet.

Early in September we shared a special moment with a colleague of Mark's, during their wedding and thanks to Danny and Alan Felicity was the best dressed baby there.

I also most forgot to tell you that Mark and I have both recently sat our citizenship exam and passed with flying colours. We now just have to wait for our council to invite us to a pledge ceremony and after that we will become Australian citizens.  What will the next few months have in stall? Stay tuned to find out. Goodbye for now from down under.
