Wallabies and a Koala

Bart hauled us off to look for kangaroos in a nearby neighborhood.  Sure enough we saw close to 10 wallabies!  Two of them were laying like dogs in front of someone's hedge.  Jeremy tried to catch them but they go from lazing around to disappearing in the blink of an eye.  Then Bart found a koala sitting in another person's eucalyptus tree!  It was adorable.  They sit in the L shape that the branch makes with the trunk.  With their little chins tucked to chest it's almost impossible to make them out.  What a fun treat.  So now we can't wait to show all of the rest of you!  So get your tickets.  Qantas is having great deals until the end of February.  The time is restricted but that's o.k. the weather here will be good till June.

As soon as I find the CD for my camera, (O.K., technically it's Bart's from Christmas) I'll get some pictures from the day.  

Tomorrow will be all about getting the kids signed up for school.  The next door neighbor, Leanne, has her kids in private school but it's pretty expensive and the boys aren't at all interested.  The uniforms and stricter teachers (that's according to a very reliable source, Jeremy's buddy Heth) are a big no, no in their book.

The pool is working out wonderfully.  Let's put it this way, I haven't heard the sounds of tv, xbox or even the psp for 2 whole days.  Now it's the pool and some computer program where you write you own sheet music.  Now if we can just get them being nice to each other, we'll be set.

Whew, the melatonin is setting in.  We slept through the night till nearly 7 am so I have high hopes for the same tonight.  Another benefit of the pool is how tired it makes you.

For all the Girls on The Go, congratulations on your continued meetings.  Keep it up.  I fully plan to join you one day in the not too distant future.  And I know, I know...don't show up till 8am.  No problem!  We'll have lots to catch up on.  Gee, we could do at least 10 miles with so much to chat about.  Don't you think?  By the way, I had my first Aussie run this morning.  8:30 am was way too late.  The breeze was up but this sun(not that it's different than yours) is way strong for this immigrant!  I barely made 30 minutes.

Love to all,

Kelli
