I know it's been a really long time since we put something on this blog, it's very slack sorry!  So I'm finally putting up photos from the last year starting with those from our wonderful holiday in Australia - we got to see my brother Mike and Simone's new house in the middle of beautiful state forest with kangaroos literally in the backyard. The boys got to see their gorgeous cousins Olive and Odette and I got to hang with my bestie Lisa and her wonderful family.

We drove the great ocean road to Adelaide and on the way stopped at some lovely spots including the 12 apostles and the Naracoorte caves that are over 500,000 years old.   Adelaide was as gorgeous as ever and the apartment was brilliant overlooking the city.  Magic trip and now we miss everyone!
