Ava!

Last night we drove to the airport.....to welcome Ava! Hoooooray! Finally she is back in Adelaide. Milla has missed her A LOT since she moved to San Francisco!

It was so good to see the entire family - we've all missed you!

Heartache.

When we first met, I was greeted with the biggest, most soul-enveloping hug from Cath that I've ever had from anyone. And, I'd literally known her for 10 seconds. Since then I have appreciated every little bit of our friendship. Agnes and Cath had a special friendship. When we said our goodbyes, Cath said 'oh my wordy - Agnes is sweetness'. 

She was so full of grace, of heart, of life and love.

Today was a long day, but a beautiful service. Agnes reminded me so many times 'Cath said to wear bright colours, mamma'. So we did. My heart aches for her husband and three little boys. She will be missed by so many.

Friendships

When Milla was only 6 weeks old we met Claudia and her mum for the first time. Then there were little sisters added to mix...and guinea pigs and bunnies and....the love of soccer!

Still today they see each other twice a week! These girls know how to have fun together. It makes me so happy to see their little friendship blossom.

Brrrrrr!!

Hvis det ikke er det ene så er det det andre....

Mandags morran så var det ikke noe varmt vann!!! Det ble en v-e-l-d-i-g k-a-l-d morra dusj!!! 

 I dag hadde Gregg besøk av en reparatør hjemme…og varmtvannstanken vår er D-Ø-D! ...iiiiiiiiiiiik!!

Farsken ta!

Nye vinduer!

Sakte men sikkert skifter vi ut vinduene i huset. 

De gamle vinduene er tynne aluminiums vinduer - ikke er de varme og ikke er de tette - du kjenner trekken og kondensen renner nedover glasset. Og det er kaldt her i Adelaide om vinteren - i natt hadde vi 2 grader! På kalde dager og netter er det nesten like kaldt inne som ute!! 

Så en av de tingene vi sikter på og oppgradere er vinduene. Ett etter ett skifter vi de ut, og endelig er vi kommet til Elliot's rom. Vinduene vi setter inn er 'double glazed', nesten som norske vinduer. De er fantastisk varme - for en forskjell! Og fine! 

Her er et bilde av det gamle vinduet...

...og her er et bilde av det nye vinduet! 

Ble det ikke fint?!
