Being in my home country for the past month I can see that I have perspective about our first year in Australia. I feel excited & empowered to go back & enjoy our life down there. I can see that I had a bit of culture shock, but didn't really realise what exactly was happening to me. I'm grateful to have this past year behind us & am looking forward for what 2012 brings! Here are some "best of" photos from this past year.

I think it is so exciting and such a neat experience you guys are having. I can only imagine what this is going to do for each kid Rachel. Its amazing to think how your decisions as parents can help with your childrens decisions later in life. Love it and love love love that you guys to leaps of faith and moved to a new place.
