a so thoughtI would get back to blogging. I really wanted to keep it up in Chicago but since I was back to work both at the hotel and the symphony AND my life was turning upside down I didn't have much time. So...the new name.

Baby laughing and smiling is the best!

Yummy yum yum!Peanut sauce over chicken satay and lemon grass pork with cracklin. Big Yay for the Balinese. I can't wait to go up there for our honeymoon. We are looking at living in North Melbourne after we get married so it is nice to check out some places in the neighborhood. There are a few cute looking galleries and coffee houses that I want to explore.
So while I am still getting over the jet lag and trying to figure out my new life here on t
he opposite side of the world I do have a new little friend to keep me company. Mick and Bec got a new member of the family. This is Rassie ( short for Jack Rascal) and he is lovely. We sit outside in the hammock and read books. I am going to go outside for a walk since it is a fantastic 80 degrees outside! Sorry everyone in Chicago.
