Stacy, Steffi, and Jack arrived on Sunday, November 11th after 24 long but uneventful hours in the air. All flights were on time and no luggage was lost. It was great to be back together again as a family. We spent the day exploring our new home in Cronulla - enjoying a flat white at the cafe, swimming in the pool and hot tub, getting unpacked, and checking out the local beaches.

I stayed home from work on Monday and took everyone to downtown Sydney to see the sights. We went out and saw Hyde Park, the Opera House, the Harbor Bridge, and took a ferry to Manly. We had heard on the news that a pair of whales were hanging out in the harbor so we were hoping to catch a glimpse, but no luck.

That's it for now. More to come later!
