Our internet has arrived!

We finally got our internet all up and working last night.  I cannot believe how crippled we felt without it!  We don't have a whole lot of news to share, but I can hit the highlights and then I will let you enjoy the pictures.  I finally got our suspension fixed on the Disco (that is our Land Rover Discovery), so that will be nice to be able to go off-road again.  The kids started swimming lessons today and also get a "free" 10-week pass to swim whenever they want at the city pool.  That will be nice!  School is going well for Hilary and the kids, but is not completely routine yet as a couple of the boys' subjects are still on their way here on the boat.  We expect our final shipment of household goods toward the end of October...  I saw a dingo for the first time on the way to work the other day.  They are beautiful looking animals!

That is about it for now.  Australians call the letter z "zed".  To turn a light on in the house, you flip the switch down instead of up.  We finally did find some real bacon (or as close as you get here), and wouldn't you know, it is called American Bacon!
