Hello everyone!

Greetings from Rockingham Perth. Lisa and I arrived here yesterday morning. We were greeted by lisa's great aunts Jenny, and Pat in the perth airport. They took us to Kings park to see the city skyline of perth, and some HUGE beautiful gum trees. It was a bit windy, but of course beautiful and very sunny. After we explored the park a bit, we headed to Pat's house. Were we met several other lovely people in Lisa's large family. We had a BBQ and then me and lis just passed out. We were so tired. I had probably been awake for 27 hours straight. We were happy to sleep.

Today we went down to the beach!!! Palm trees all around. We swam in the Indian ocean, I believe. I saw my first jelly fish. Lisa got a tiny sunburn, and I got a serious shorts tan haha. We headed over to Jenny's house afterwards for pizza and wine. Now here we are ready to hit the sack again. Now that we have a free computer we might try to upload some photos from singapore. Tomorrow we are going to mandina, or madrine, or something of the sorts. We will tell you how that goes. For now we send love and miss everyone as always.

We will soak up some sun for you,

LOVE LOVE LOVE and big HUGS

Hi there, you sounded like we did when we got back from Cuba, we were so tired and when Carl's mom picked us up in the car I layed in the back seat and slept on the way to her house. I remember it didn't help much because we both went to bed when we got there and slept it seemed like forever. Seen pictures of an Australia beach on TV - it is white and beautiful and goes on forever, is this like the one you were at. Saw your mom Sunday for a bit, she made us one of her coffee specials, pretty yummy considering there were hardly any calories in it. She was doing good but she misses you a lot, but it isn't a sad feeling she has it is just that your not there and the house is quieter than ususal without you being there and talking to each other like you do. Your dad was okay too, seems to be adjusting to the fact that you are away for awhile and experience some wonderful life time lessons there. Auston the little devil is not saying too much but missed you when he went to the hill to try out his new toy, I guess he had to phone Nathan a dozen times before he gathered up the energy to go along. Well this is enough for now, love you love you, hugs for Lisa too. p.s stay safe and make good choices. xoxoxoxox Grandma Dayhome and Grandpa too

Hey, Tasha when you get a chance check out your TD account, you are being charged a five dollar WD fee evertytime you are taking money out and on small purchases. It is adding up!! Take out enough to last you a while, call me if you have any questions.

The gum trees, were they the one like the picture in the Australia book at home? Remember the long street we saw in Perth of trees. I am simlply green with envy thinking of you two in the ocean. Tasha you know how much I love it and the sun. Did you get a picture of the Jelly fish?

Lisa your family sounds wonderful, I am so grateful to know they are there with you two. Please say hi to them all and if you could also pass on a thank from me!

More pictures please....................!

Love,

Mom/jayna

Good day Ladies, Hey Tasha, Grab your offsider (aussi lingo) assistant Lou Lou belle off the beach and put her on the keyboard. Would not want Lisa to forget her computer skills. How is that for a long distant nag. Not bad hey? So happy to hear you are checking out some West australian beaches. I remember riding my bike to mandurah from Perth many moons ago and sitting on a very beautiful beach watching pelicans sweeep down to pluck fish out of the ocean for their lunch. The Indian Ocean is warmer than the Pacific I think. So get in there! I am so pleased our family is getting the chance to meet you Tasha. Please take your folks over to meet them one day too... Give each other a smothering hug for me. sending love and warm thoughts your way. Momma mar...xxxxooooo.
