Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

Out and About



Well it seems we helped Dewey find the star of the south...It took a few drinks of Jagermeirter, but it was a success. Arlene snorkelled with big beautiful fish on Rottnest Island and we all enjoyed tasting nearly every red wine of australia. My apologies go out in advance for the purchase of the speedos for Dewey and Robert...couldn't resist. I know you all will enjoy seeing D wander around the lake in them. As John noted..." that image is unfortunately burnt into my mind forever..." Haven and Bronson have become superstars in the pool and ocean over the past few weeks. They both can now snorkel in the ocean and are becoming quite the little swimmers. Haven dives, flips, somersaults and is quite a fish. Now it is back to reality and getting ready for school to start in just over one week. The visit with the family was far too short and we are so sad today to have said goodbye to the Nelson clan. It was an amazing time and we will miss them so much. We are so fortunate to have had our family visit!! Love you all Mama, Dew, R & A...xxooo Happy and safe travels.

Nelson Nelson Aussie Tour '08















Yipee! They are officially here and have been experiencing life down under. The kids are over the moon to have grandma and papa and aunty and uncle around. We spent our first five days together in Margaret River and are now back in Perth. So far the prairie chickens have sampled copious amounts of wine, snorkeled with the fishes and cruised the open seas. Here are some pics of our adventures so far...
