I’m proudly a full-time Mummy, looking after our beautiful daughter (nicknamed “Little Spring” in my blog) and a full time wife to a wonderful Lutheran pastor (“nicknamed “Big Spring” in my blog). I was born and have lived in Australia my whole life, but I also have a US passport and a passion for all things American… especially food and my family!

Autumn 2008

Oops! Time for an updated!

Sorry that it has been way too long since I wrote on here! Just a few quick things that have been going on in our busy lives! …

Nemo has grown heaps. Here are some pictures of a couple of poses we caught him in:

Some friends of ours from Melbourne visited us recently and we drove out to the Clare Valley for an afternoon. It was beautiful out there and we stopped at a few wineries. The main one we went to see was “7 Brothers”, which is where most of the following pictures were taken. While we were driving around, we passed an amazing dust tornado… I’ve seen many of them around before, but never as big as this. I took a couple of pictures while we were in the car, which are included in this album. Also, at the end are a couple of pictures from the whispering wall… we stunned our friends with the acoustics – you have to hear it to believe it!

I’ve started a vegie patch in our back court yard. It’s three weeks old on Sunday and surviving and growing well. I’ve finally found my green thumb, I think… or at least a green little finger to begin with! I can’t wait for the plants to be mature enough to actually start using them in my cooking. I’ve planted cos lettuce, chives, tomato, broccoli, capsicum, spring onion, basil and coriander. Here is a picture of its first day.

I’ll try and update a little more often from now on. I blame Facebook… a very addictive website I recommend you join to find some old friends!
