Adjustment Period

For those of you diligent readers we are sorry for the long break but we have been going through a period of adjustment for the past month trying to get used to being a family of four (and mom just hasn't found a moment to update the blog!) Being away from family and friends and the support that is usually available with the birth of a new baby has been difficult for us but we are happy to have survived the first month! Kaden is growing like a weed and Evan is enjoying being a big brother. Dad is working alot and Mom is trying to figure out how to juggle two at home during the day (grocery shopping with two hasn't been attempted yet!)

We haven't had any major outings over the past month and have just stayed close to home so we don't have alot of pictures to share . . . except pictures of the boys. Now that we have hit the one month mark though we have more trips planned over the next couple of months (summer here) and will be sharing those each week.

Australian Education:
Even though we are in a country that speaks English we still find it hard to decipher their language and communicate at times. Australians are known for abbreviating words, here are a few that we have encountered . . . and Evan has even started using:
- Breakfast: brekky
- Biscuit (cookie/cracker): bikky
- Thanks: ta
- Registration (as in car license plate or car registration): rego
- McDonald's: Macca's (Evan thinks this one is really funny)
