IOU...

Photos from the big 0.6. - Brady's birthday. Photos from the OLSH Fete (carnival). Stories of Gracie throwing up and Cole and Brady getting awards in school. I owe you stories of nits and embarrassing neighbor moments. I owe you explanations of "fair dinkum", Brady's use of the word "proper", and Grace's use of the word "cross". I owe you video of a bunch of Australian kids (with some American kids mixed in) singing a catchy little tune that goes "Sing, Sing, La, La, La, La" that I swear will be stuck in your head for a week. And stories (designed to make you feel sorry for me and say "Wow that Angie sure is great!") that involve me organizing affore mentioned carnival and preschool raffle, toting as many as 7 different children back and forth to school every day, babysitting for friends, attending RCIA classes and being all around Super Mom and wife!

I owe you all these things because I suck and haven't posted anything lately. But you aren't going to get them. At least not yet. Because we're leaving Alice Springs tomorrow!

Well, not for good or anything. Just for a couple of weeks. And we're not going across state line. We're not going to the Redneck Riviera. We're not even going to Cancun. We're going to a whole country!!!!!! (well at least the south island)

New Zealand!!!!!!! Yay for us!

After I got over the coronary from the cost associated with a two week trip to New Zealand, I was able to plan our itinerary. Since it will take too long to type it all in, I decided to just scan in my notes. This way you can all follow us around on Google Earth!
