We've been pretty busy over the last month or so. Here's a bit of a recap. We are still celebrating our Tarheel victory! I wonder if they knew that they had fans who got up at 5 in the morning to watch the game!! I made celebratory cupcakes after the final 4 victory and a cookie cake (I forgot to take a picture) for the championship! So much fun!!

And I just couldn't resist this picture! That's my rocker!

Alan's parents and auntie came for a visit. It was short but we packed it full! We visited King's park and saw some unusual animals at Caversham wildlife park. I love the koalas!

I loved the wombat and the tasmanian devil was never still enough to get a picture that wasn't blurry! I guess Looney Tunes got that right! The baby octupus was in a big seafood stew that Anita and Delilah ordered at a Korean BBQ. Alan didn't eat it- thank goodness! There were tons of these in the soup!

We also took them further south to Margaret River. We walked through Mammoth Cave- it was very pretty, and now I have been to 2 Mammoth Caves on opposite sides of the world! We also drove through the Boranup Forest on our way to Augusta (the lighthouse picture). This forest is beautiful. The trees shed their bark so they are sivery white- it's great when the light shines through. One of our friends calls this his little slice of heaven!

Augusta is on the very tip of the continent. From this point if you look west you can see the Indian Ocean and then if you look east you can see the Southern Ocean. It's pretty cool! This next picture is me in the gardens of the Voyager Estate and Winery. We ate lunch there and it was great!! I had the duck pie and alan had marron- a specialty only inthis part of the world. It's kind of like lobster or craw fish. I also embarrased myself by helping myself to some bread because the waiter wasn't bringing it! It looked like it could be self serve and he was setting tables after we told him I was very hungry! Oh well- a pregnant girl's gotta eat right!?!

And the best news of all for this update is that I'm an auntie again!!! Cora Elise was born yesterday! She is so cute! I can't wait till we get to visit home! It will be so much fun!

Well, we also went on a three day trip to the Avon Valley. It's only about an hour drive from where we live and we stayed and visited three little country towns. The funny thing about this trip is that we went with an older couple from church who organised it and about 16 other senior citizens! I laughed every time we got off the bus and people saw all the oldies and then us! I have decided that it is actually a great way to travel- they like good regular meals, they like to take naps and they don't like to walk too much! Perfect! We got to relax a lot and it was really nice to see some places we probably wouldn't really take the time to ordinarily see.

Well, I have to go to bed! I've stayed up so late I have indigestion now! ugg!
