First Day of School!!

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

The boys started school today! Fletcher is in a 1/2 combined class and Kristopher is in a 3/4 class. Both the boys seem quite happy that their rooms are right next door to each other and share a courtyard. That makes walking to school a lot easier, too.

And so the year begins! My orientation is today down in Brisbane so off I go!

Rain, rain, rain

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

The rain hasn’t stopped for months now.  With all the flooding that surrounds us we’re shocked how safe we are.  Towns within 30 miles all around us have been severely flooded, but life here hasn’t changed.  We’re just a bit more remote than usual!

The last 2 days have been sunny so grocery trucks are coming back in to town and roads are starting to become accessible again.  We’re going to start venturing out to assess the damage around us and to show the kids what flooding means.

What a way to start out in Queensland!
