First swim and time in Australia


We are safely in Australia and Cassia did really well on the fight over. She slept most of the flight and was only a little fussy on the way down when the pressure hurt her ears. She really is amazing and we were so blessed by the answer to our (and others) prayers.

We spent a week in Canberra settling in and visiting people and then flew again (a much more reasonable 3 hr flight) to Port Douglas for a holiday.




Cassia did wonderfully on the flight, and on the bus trip, she has been charming people wherever she goes.

We all really enjoyed the hot weather (it was perfect) and Cassia went for her first swim!


We also spent a day on the Great Barrier Reef snorkeling with Nemo and his friends. It was absolutely amazing and Cassia loved her first boat ride (and the semi-submersible boat too!) and was very happy to see her first shark, turtle and lots and lots of fish!

Now we are back in Canberra for a few days before the main event (Uncle Chris' wedding) up in Sydney next Friday.

Packing Cassia



We decided to save some money and pack Cassia:
Just kidding, but as you can see we are getting ready for our big trip so I might not be blogging as much over the next few weeks.
We are very excited! Please pray that Cassia does well on the plane, it is a long (14.5hr) flight! Also pray that Cassia would learn to take the bottle again as she has decided that she doesn't like it! So we are having a battle of wills at the moment.
