Summer Sunflowers
The Markets are filled with lovely flowers here.
I can't help but bring a bunch home to brighten my kitchen every once in a while...
Thomas lost two teeth in one week!
Exploring Berry Island...
Just a 20 Minute walk from our house.
The past few weeks have been a blur of activity... I find that our life seems to become that way often! Yet, each and every day... we are striving to maintain an attitude of joy as we see God working to provide for our needs and to direct our actions. We are slowly developing a "normal" school routine, which enjoys a bit of flexibility, to explore our new world. Sydney is a big city with lots to keep us busy... I feel like we are just beginning to get our toes wet... there is so much to explore right out our back door.
In fact, this week we had the opportunity to meet the President. He spent a couple of days "down under" while traveling through the Pacific.
President Obama and Ambassador Bleich
It is not often you get to meet a person of such historic significance and we felt it was a wonderful opportunity for the children to see our President at work. Thomas was one of 40 children chosen to stand in front near the President as he spoke to us all at the Embassy.
Thomas actually got to shake his hand. This was a very inspiring thing for him. After a few days of thinking through all this, Thomas announced that maybe some day "he" could be President!

The Ambassador's Residence
The Embassy grounds are beautiful... the garden's are lovely and the architecture gives one the impression they are on an old Virginian Estate.

God Bless America!
