4 Years and Counting

A couple weeks ago we celebrated 4 years of being in Australia!

We celebrated with meat pies for dinner.

And exotic coconut lime sorbet cones in our beautiful Australian backyard!  

Four years in Australia and two Aussie babies (well not really Aussies, we're on the wrong visa for them to claim any citizenship, but I like to call them my Aussie babies because I can).  Alice spends a lot of time being cute and sleeping, as six week old babies tend to do.  Here she's asleep on the floor and Bridget decided to join her, bringing her pillow and blanket.  I love that she wanted to hold her hand.

Bridget learned how to hold up two fingers!  I think it's funny that kids are well into being two years old before they figure out how to hold up their age on their fingers.  It's hard to coordinate all those moving parts!  She was pretty proud of herself.

We have been so lucky to be in Australia!  In a place where you can find giant spiders in the grocery store...

And have a tropical oasis in your backyard.  In February.

We also get to do exciting things like visit Yogurtland, which may not seem very Australian, but when it's the most exciting place to eat in this small city it's pretty special.

We did get to do something super cool last week!  We went to a roller derby!  

Evelyn and Bridget were pretty bored, but Lydia and Isaac loved it!

How's that for a family photo?  We feel so blessed to live in this amazing place!
