The Swallow II sails again! Laura was very excited to learn to row and then be allowed to take the boat out all by herself.

The next day cousin Charlie and Uncle Bruce joined the fun.

We visited Fiona and Jeff’s and played with cousins Caroline and Grace.

I think everyone had fun. It was hard to get all 4 faces looking the same way and with eyes open.

If we are going east we may as well go all the way!

We made it to Freak Lunchbox today, one of our favorite candy shops

It’s amazing how long a table and a marble can entertain a couple of 11 year olds!

Cliff and the kids flew to Canada today. I leave for Melbourne on Friday. Won’t see them for five weeks.

I wish I was with them.

Laura and Colin had to pose by the space cow.

Colin had a new magazine to read on the plane:

We have taken a step in our move.

The house is packed and we have moved to Houston for a few days before continuing to Canada later in the week.

Before leaving the hotel this morning the kids decided to practice looking for Sulphur Crested Cockatoos in the trees.

Our furniture and household items are starting their trip to Australia today.

Into the container and in only 3-4 months they will come out on the other side!

Colin is becoming more toothless by the week! 2 gone in 2 weeks.

Colin decided one afternoon last week was perfect for being a pirate, both around the house and at the library.
