1 week down

Well we have made it a whole week here in australia! (Technically 1 week 2 days). The past week seems like a blur. We have done something every day and have been busy exploring the area and getting to know new people.

A quick summary of our week.
Addi started school and is super happy to have friends again; she goes 3 days a week and they are pretty much the chillest school Iv ever gone to...bare foot,eating outside, lots of art n crafts and tons of play! She is in the kindy program (pronounced ken-dee) and gets to wear a cute little uniform!
Jerrod started work last Monday and so far enjoys his job. He works 30 minutes away in the middle of no where  and works from sun up to sun down, about 3 or 4 days on and 2 to 3 days off. Not a bad schedule and gets to walk addi to school atleast once a week which she likes.
We have discovered a beach only a mile and a quarter away and we were able to watch the hump back whales breaching and playing from the shore as they make the yearly migration journey. The kids and I have got to go to the rescue and rehabilitation site for kangaroos where we go feed and check up on them.
The kids and I have discovered the library, the toy library (we can check out toys! Perfect since we don't have our stuff yet!) And we have encountered several emu around town.
Yesterday we went to the west side of the peninsula with Jerrods co-workers and checked out 2 beaches.  One of them had too many jelly fish on the beach and in the water so we went to turquoise bay instead.  The water was perfect  and the kids spent the after noon making sand castles and playing in the shallow water.jerrod tried out snorkeling and got to see Nemo and dory :-) Jerrods supervisor was taking care of a brand new baby red roo rescued the day before so we brought it with us. ..yep we had a kangaroo at the beach. He was so cute and just stayed in his pouch all day!
We saw about a dozen roos driving home, they are every where and you have to be so careful because they will LITERALLY  run right into your car (they are not very smart) dead roo carcasses  line the roads...it's really sad...it's like deer in maine. And just like deer in maine you can't leave them on the side of the road or in the road if they are still partially alive, I think you know what I mean has to be done if you hit one. :-(
Sooooo let's just hope when we get our van one doesn't run into us! An American here just hit one with there American Van and it cost them 9,000 to get it fixed (keep in mind some roos can get as big as 6'+!)

Today I took the kids down to heritage park for the farmers market and then to Brumbys for muffins.

That's the week in a recap.
Now we are waiting on our cable box to get here, I was really hoping it would be here before the weekend so I could watch the olympics but that didnt happen :-(
We should have internet by September 1st sometime...hopefully.  they only have so many ports in this small town, so there is a wait list for Internet port lines until 2018 but since an American family from the observatory is about to leave we are going to take over their Internet line.

Logan is napping, I juat mopped the floors and addison is playing with Legos we got from the toy library and watching the little mermaid from my computer. I have a marinated pork belly from the butcher in my crock and it smells amazing, not to mention all cleaners here are made with eucalyptus so everything smells good!

Gonna eat a chilled Tim Tam my new favorite addiction and relax. Everyone have a wonderful sunday!!
