Five weeks!

In five weeks time, or in 34 sleeps we will be getting some special visitors!

Grandma and Grandpa Montague!

Last time they were here was for Lachlan's Baptism.

This time they are coming because this beautiful girls is turning 8 and getting baptised.


Everyone is very excited about their arrival! The kids talk about it every time they see an airplane fly overhead. They mention in their prayers every day for Grandma and Grandpa to have a safe trip. We spend a lot of time talking about all the fun things that we will do when they arrive.

We are planning on taking them on some trips to see a bit more of Australia. First we are headed to the Flinders Rangers. We will be camping on some private property, just outside of Hawker. When spent last Easter long weekend there and just loved it. We are able to take the quad bikes and there is lots of see and explore.

We can do some hiking and driving through some beautiful countryside.


There are also some ruins we can go and see. We will also go and visit some caves with Aboriginal art in them.


Next up is a trip to Halls Gap, which is in the Grampians, which is about halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne. I have never been there but have heard lots of good things about it. Again we will be doing some hiking, driving and just exploring the area.

Next up we will be heading to the Murray River for a whole week on a luxury houseboat.


It will be nice to just cruise down the river taking in the scenery, taking the kayaks out for a paddle, relaxing in the spa or driving the jet ski. All while taking in the views.



After all those trips it will be time for Amie's Birthday Party and Baptism.

We are all so excited for them to come and to go and explore some more of this wonderful country! While we wait though there is plenty to be done.
