So much to do!

Gee wizz its March already!! And almost over!
Life has been going at a quick pace recently.
Graham has started working and he has been doing some crazy hours. It was a rough start to the year for him, but I think things have improved a lot as of recently.  He is now busy planning rearranging our living room and putting in a entertainment centre and updating our 15 year old TV into something from this decade. I told him I don't mind what he does as long as it happens quickly. We will see what happens! I don't think I will recognise our apartment when he is done with it.

A few photos of whats been going on.

Work has been busy for me, our new Artistic Director has been busy creating a new show for our March season. It takes place in the Perth Town Hall. Where these two photos of the dancers and actors are taken. The show is called Ecobots and opens March 21.

We have been spending time with our friends Sarah, Paul and the kids. This was a very silly night at our house when Sarah and the girls challenged Graham on some advanced yoga skills... He didn't do very well as you can see. 

 Been watching the snow on Facetime with my parents. Its a record snowy winter in Indiana this year. So glad Mom and Dad can Facetime with me and I get to see all the snow from sunny Perth. 

Paul shared this huge cray fish with us! It was a monster!!! 

Got to spend a beautiful sunny day with these two beautiful ladies at a friends wedding here in Perth. All three doctors wives hanging out. But these two chicks a lot more then that. Not only kind and beautiful they both have BIG brains! One a hospital pharmacist and the other a vet! Im so honoured to call them my friends. 

 Been spending a lot of time with these two adorable kids. Thanks to my friend Sarah for sharing her girls with me. 

 Graham and I went to a few Fringe World shows this year. It was a good time and I really like this photo of Graham under the big sign. We saw some magic acts and circus. 

 A big party at the Bowls Club for some friends birthdays. Here's Graham with some of his best mates at the club. It was a dress up party. Thats why John Lennon features in the photo!

 Graham has been out sailing with Peter this summer. I got to take this photo from the dock. Not a view I normally get to see, instead I am hanging over the front bow like Graham is. 

 Camouflage cat in our back area.. Kit enjoys hanging out the washing with me. 

 A beautiful surprise dinner with Graham at the casino, we went to the BIG Buffet and ate more seafood in one go then I have had in 10 years.. oysters, trout, salmon, prawns, more oysters.... finished off with honey strait off the comb. 

One of my favourite work photos this year. You never know what might happen at a dance company. 

We have a big event coming up. Thats Graham's cap and gown graduation in April. His Father Craig will be coming out for it and we look forward to catching up with him and celebrating all over again. We will finally get to see Dr. Graham Weaire-Buchanan on his diploma and he will also be awarded his prizes for the 3 awards he won. It will be a great time! 

All the best to you and yours.

Catch up on Christmas 2013

A few pictures from our Christmas!

This year Graham and I stayed in Perth for Christmas and traveled down and visited with our good friends Erin and Will in Albany Western Australia for New Years. It was nice to just be home!

 Christmas Cat!

Graham got some crab nets! We went crabbing on Christmas Eve Day.... But we had no luck! 

 Throwing in the nets.

 Christmas Day at our house. First time in 3 years!

Boxing day with our good friends at the Bowls Club. 

 Boxing Day silliness with Stevie.

 We headed down to Albany after Boxing Day. We went to this amazing beach. Little Beach. It was perfect! They don't get much better then this! 

 Little Beach near Albany. I was so proud of myself for jumping off a rock into the ocean, I was helped along by some of our friends yelling JUMP! It was a great way to end 2013, I took the plunge! 

 Graham made a new friend in Albany. Naps with Jake dog.

 We went with the boys golfing... They played and walked while the girls drove the cart. Pretty sweet.

 Me and Erin, partner in golf buggy (cart) crime.

 Graham and Will went fishing and brought home some quid for callamari. Graham passed on his Nan Ray's recipe. It was delicious!  

 Who's that chick in the hammock??

 Graham and I surprised Erin and Will with a hammock as a thanks for letting us stay.

It was a big hit. Even the tree frogs like it.

 Lots of fishing.

 BOWLING! Old School style. This place was like going back in time. 

We swung by our friend Christine's house on the way back to Perth, and I met this little cutie!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday. It was so nice to be together and relax.

Now on to 2014!

Wolfla's in Perth

In November Mom and Dad came out for Graham's graduation. We loved having them here. It went too quickly, but I was so grateful to have my parents out to visit twice in 1 year.
During their visit we fit a lot in:

Wolfla & Buchanan family reunion (its not often we all together) Im so glad both my family and Graham's got to be together in 2013. We are spoiled. 

We celebrated Graham's Graduation.

We had Thanksgiving together.

We went on a trip to southern WA.

And we celebrated my Birthday!

It was one big party.

We had lots of Champaign at Mom and Dad's apartment before lunch.

We had a lovely time all together Wolfla's and Buchanan's. It went to quickly!

This is Mom making Thanksgiving dinner at her apartment in South Perth.

It took some time and 4 people, but we finally figured out how to use this oven. Here's Mom and Dad putting in some turkey for Thanksgiving.

Mom and Dad really enjoyed eating at our favourite local spot Bocelli's in South Perth. 

We went to the aquarium!! What fun!!

We spent a lot of time just hanging out.

Kit wasn't amused with this photo.  Happy Birthday to me!

Mom enjoyed all the fun and funky Australian plants and trees.

We went for mexican food on my Birthday. I had a lot of margaritas. 

My American pals joined me for my mexican birthday dinner in Fremantle. So good to have expat friends and I am thankful for these two. Sasha and April.

After my birthday dinner we found a huge fig tree decorated for Christmas!

I taught Mom how to play Words With Friends while she was here.

We went and visited my Cousin Debi and her husband Keith. This is Mom and Keith in their backyard in Bald Ivis. 

Dad made friends with little Chelsea the dog. 

Mom and Aunt Dorothy got to have a nice long visit. This is Mom's Aunt Dorothy and my Great Aunt. We are so lucky to have family in WA! A long way from Water Town South Dakota. Both Mom and Aunt Dorothy where born in Water Town.

We spent a lot of time laying by the pool at Mom and Dad's place. Graham took some naps.

We had dinner at our house for our last night together. 

Graham cooked a lamb roast. Dad's favorite!

We even managed a nice family photo with Kit Cat. 

What a wonderful time together. I am so thankful for our family. It might be small, but we have some wonderful people in it. 

Love you guys.
