Merry Christmas!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas!!! I will post some pics of all the festivities later but I wanted to shout it out.

The Aquarium in Monterey

We could not find a hotel in San Fran on Sunday night. Since we wanted to head over the pass that on Sunday because there was a big storm on Monday, we decided to stay in Monterey and go to the aquarium for the day. Here are a few of our pics.

Here are the Sea Otters. These are Austin's favorite.








These are the Jelly Fish that Helen just loved.



A big fish.

San Francisco!!!

While doing the medical for our visas, we had to go to Berkeley for the appt. Who wants to stay in Berkeley??? So we decided to stay in San Fran. We had soo much fun. We stayed at the King George Hotel (Very Nice, would totally recommend) and went to Union Square, Pier 39, and China Town. (well, we were only there for a few days...)

Here is me in China Town

The begining of China Town.

Bath time fun...

I am not sure if I had posted before but it used to be that Helen would SCREAM bloody murder every time I would give her a bath. Every stinkin time. It was terrible. No matter what I tried, she would scream and scream.

Well, it came time to give her bath at my In laws house, and I was dreading. Well, suprisingly, it went well. She even smiled. I am not sure what or how but it is like all of a sudden, she likes bathing. So tonight at the hotel in Fernley, we decided to give her a bath in the tub here. Well, since we did not have a big enough sink or baby tub, I got in the tub with her and she LOVED it. Smiling and playing the entire time. She was actually mad we took her out!!!! I am so excited. I took some pics and thought i would post, but then realized she wasn't the only one nekid so no pics. But it was alot of fun, for both!!!!!

Moving to Australia!!!!

Austin went to Australia for a job interview and it was up between Ireland and Australia. Well, after getting both offers and looking at the numbers, we decided on going to Australia. So we accpeted the job and will move in january. We are moving to Cobar, NSW.
We are very excited to go and will post more as we get more info. Here are the pics that Austin took during the interview.
