A home in the sky

I just can't et enough of this place! I feel like we are living in the Jetsons. Where is our space car?!

My clock is the building clock outside the window. The sun rises and sets are amazing, and the floor to ceiling windows in every room make it feel like we are standing ontop of the world. Pretty neat.


It's especially weird being up here on Sept 11th. I can't even begin to imagine how scary it would have been to be in the twin towers that day.

House Hunting

These past few days the kids and I have been on the hunt for a new place to live.. Here are a few from yesterday..

Babysitting at the Mall?

We have arrived in Brisbane! It's been so much fun exploring this cool city that I've barely had time to post to my blog.. Don't worry, I'll play catch up (still need to finish with our America trip!)

Today I popped into the local Mall and found this.. Dyllan was begging to go inside and play and get her face painted.. My initial reaction was 'ughhh we don't have time to stop while you play and get your face painted..' But as we got closer I realized it was a BABYSITTER! We signed her in and off she went.. I said goodbye and off Ellie and I went too! We came back an hour later to find her happily playing and not ready to go. If we didn't have an open house- I may have taken advantage of the 2 hour limit.

I have a feeling we will be doing all of our shopping here.. And Dyllan will be a regular. Pretty good deal too.. $10 for an hour and $15 for 2 hours.

I have always been impressed with how kid friendly Sydney was.. But Brisbane has taken it to a whole new level.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad out there! Dyllan and Ellie are so lucky to call you Dad. And I'm even luckier to have such a great partner. Looking forward to this next chapter. Brisbane here we come!

Farewell for Ellie too

Ellie also said bye to her class- but it was more like a "see you later snot face that I hardly knew"

The girls from Dyllans class loved Ellie.. They couldn't get enough of her blowing raspberries. See Ellie? The bald one in the middle?

Farewell Sydney

Well, it's official. We are moving. Again. This time up north to Brisbane. Dan has accepted a roll within fitness first up there and we are moving next Friday! Yikes. We are excited to get up there and explore a new part of Australia. I am especially looking forward to some camping trips and vacations along the gorgeous beaches up there. First stop Noosa:)

As for me? My last day of work is Saturday. I may or may not transfer up there ( it's nice to know I have a job up there if I want) but I've decided ill be a stay at home"mum" for a while. Although I'm sure well be doing anything but staying at home with all the exciting new things to do up there.

Today I organized a farewell party for Dyllan at her old daycare. It was super cute, Dyllan was so excited to show up with her homemade strawberry cupcakes to share with all her old playmates. She's really going to miss her little friends. Especially her best friend Jemma.

This just made me realize more than ever, how important friends are. Even at such an early age.

Goodbye Sydney.. It's been amazing. Hello Brisbane.. We haven't even met yet.
