Rockingham Beach

Our first stop was Rockingham, which is about 40 minutes south of Perth. We stayed in a beach house about 2 blocks from the beach and 4 blocks from the little town. The first thing the boys saw when we first walked in were the stairs. They screamed and yelled with excitement and ran up and down the stairs for about 15 minutes straight. Who knew stairs could be so exciting!?

We spent a good majority of our time just walking the beaches and taking in God's beauty. There were a few peirs, the boys loved watching the locals jumping from.

Goodaye Mate!

About a week and a half after mom and dad arrived we were Australia bound. For some cooler weather and some bigger people we were so excited to see! We had a 10 day stay in the Perth and Margaret River Regions of Western Australia. It was absolutely fantastic! These pictures are of the city of Perth.

This is a new thing for Caitlyn, laying on her tummy and playing. Usually when I put her on her tummy, she just laid down and went to sleep, or tried. Now she realizes there is a whole new exciting world to explore! Ethan loves playing with his baby sister getting her toys and making her laugh. So much fun!

Six minutes for Ethan

"Six minutes" is the term we use for special time spent individually with someone. You can imagine how special six minute time with someone is when you have 4 children! Ethan got some concentrated time with gramma and grampa while the older boys were in school. He was getting as much as he could and loved every minute of it!

Six minute time with Dad

Tiger woods golf, watch out! Steve is in his glory having someone to play x-box with, and golf none-the-less. Big boys and thier toys.

Grandbabies

Gramma couldn't wait to get her hands on the "wee one". It was precious to watch her meet Caitlyn for the first time.

Gramma and Grampa Wilson are here!

Steve and the boys woke up very early, around 6am to meet Gramma and Grampa at the airport. They were all so excited at being able to wake early and go to see them. Staying in thier jammies for the airport was alos another treat the thought was pretty cool. Caitlyn and I happily slept in for a little while longer and stayed behind to prepare for thier arrival.

Gramma and Grampa will be here for 6 weeks total. Stay tuned to hear of our adventures and happenings!
