The journey takes us through many countries before we arrive in Australia, our final destination and our new home. The Blog will then follow the challenges of settling a family in a new country

10 Weeks in!
Tomorrow marks our 10th week in Melbourne, and the last 4 weeks have just flown past, a sure sign that we have found our routine, and no doubt the count will now turn to months and not weeks. Immy and Riggers have both found a good number of friends at school, and are having a great time there. I see very little evidence of any actual work going on however, with the emphasis being more on play! I was impressed with Immy's Japanese language skills, although confused as to why this is a core subject when Science is not, nor is Chinese for that matter!
Steph is enjoying her daily routine of exercise, tanning and housework! oh and the occasional helping out with school activities. The idea of going back to work seems to be slipping away!
I have now accepted my second Job which I am actually quite excited about, and this kicks off in early March, I quit my current role at the end of this week, so will enjoy a few days off, although the big bike race is this sunday, so I may need to rest up for some of it.
Immy had a great birthday on the 14th, the teachers were on stike so she had the day off school and enjoyed it with 5 friends on the beach, mainly having water balloon fights. Felix also had a friend over and got a present, as his last birthday was spent on a train in Vietnam!
The weather is overcast today, but we have basically had clear blue skies and temperatures in the high twenties to mid thirties for the last 10 weeks - Its tough!!... will be interesting to see how bad the winter gets.
