Down Under

Adam recently returned from a business trip to Australia. It was nice to finally visit the country that Lisa talks so much about from her days studying at Macquarie University. During some free time, he was able to see the famous Sydney Opera House:

Oh Canada....

We tried on Sadie's Canada hat the other night. She wanted it off so badly she yanked it over her face instead of off her head.

We are trying to figure out if she was displeased by the fact that she was advertising Canada or just not a fan of hats. What do you think Grandpa?

Either way we are guessing she's not going to be a fan of winter like her mom and dad......

Yummy....

Sadie is trying out more table food these days.
She had her first Cheerios & pasta last week.

She loves bread/bagels and is not a fan of beans.
Guess she's a carb lover like her mama.

My Daddy's Gone Again!

My Daddy works so hard for me. He's now in Australia, but only for 5 days. That is much easier than the 14 he did all over Asia last month.

I still miss him though. Hmmm, I wonder if he'd catch this soccer ball if I tried to roll it to him. Love you Daddy....

Sadie's First Christmas Party.....

I was doing well in the balls until my little friend scratched my face.

After that I would only go in with my Daddy.

I got a bottle & Daddy got bubbly, how is that fair?

Henry, I got a guitar! So, I guess I will be the lead singer that also jams on a guitar in our band. Don't worry though, we'll give you lots of solos since you will be the more experienced jammer.

Christmas All Around Us........

Good Byes....

Saying Good Bye to our family and friends in 2008 was really hard.

Living in a transient country is also hard. People come and go into your life and the longer you are here the more good byes you have to endure.

Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated to continue to make good friends, as you know you or they will be leaving soon.

Though, good friends are for life.....

We'll miss you guys. Thanks for being such good friends.

We are counting down the days to see the rest of our good friends and our family, back in the States! Though, we won't say good bye this time around....just see you in the springtime.
