Aussie Connections!

This week we had the pleasure of meeting up with Steve and Helen Terpstra and their family. They were en-route to Vancouver for their departure back to Australia the next day, so they came for dinner and a catchup! We had beautiful weather so we sat outside and enjoyed a lovely evening together! It was fun listening to their experiences and comparing notes on all the differences.

We have few days of dry weather, so the grass behind our house was mowed. After mowing, it gets aerated by what is called ted-dying, then raked and finally taken in.

A lovely clean looking soccer field!

Jaclyn's volleyball games are over. They got in the semi finals but lost by two points! It was a really great game!

Five weeks of school left! It's getting busy on the school front. Jaclyn goes for a 10 day trip to Washington DC with the Year 11/s and 12s. Steve goes for a one night field trip with his class. Shantel has a kindergarten picnic next week. The graduation dinner for the seniors is being organised with the year 11 mums doing the dinner and serving! So plenty to do! 

Our weather forecast is looking very nice this week with temperatures around 25 degrees C.

That's it for this week. Thanks for looking!
