Due to environmental and economic considerations the Wright family did not send a Christmas card this year... okay the truth is we got busy, really busy planning our move back to Australia in February 2011.
We will be headed to Melbourne where Jason will assist at Calvary Chapel Melbourne. We are excited about this next stage in our lives, and while the thought of moving with a 3 year old and a baby is somewhat overwhelming the encouragement from family, friends and our church has been amazing.
More news will follow including a new blog which will keep you up to date with ministry news, to keep you going until then here is a family photo our amazing friend, and gifted photographer Bobby Brown took.

Post op update
Hi everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that Micah's surgery went well, and he is doing well!
During all this he decided to get his first tooth, very closely followed by his second. I figure the timing was kind of great since we was so hopped up on pain killers he hardly noticed!
I finally feel like I can change gears and start preparing for Christmas now, so I started with some baking today, and am finishing off the last of our Christmas shopping.
Thank you all for your prayers for our family! We really appreciate them, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they work!

4 months - Surgery next Monday.
Micah is now 4 months and getting the hang of this photo with the bear thing... he humors me for a couple of shots, and then tries to eat his bear.
In Micah news he is now rolling over, although he doesn't like being on his tummy, so it makes me wonder why he insists on rolling there every time we put him down. Maybe because he gets coaching from his sister along the lines of "You can do it! Good job little buddy".
I debated sharing this next piece of news on such a public forum, but we need all the prayers we can get. Micah will be undergoing surgery next Monday, December 6 at 7.30am. He will be having an outpatient procedure at CHOC to correct a minor birth defect. I will spare you the medical explanation, lets just say his pee hole is not quite right. The defect, and surgery to fix it is relatively common, but that does not make it easier to picture Micah being taken and put under anesthesia, or what his recovery may be like.
Please keep us all in prayer during this time. Micah for all aspects of surgery from pre-op (not being able to eat for 5 hours prior to surgery), anesthesia, surgery, post-op, recovery and how this all will affect his sleep. For Cassia to understand the extra time and care Micah will need. For us (especially Me) to have calm hearts.
Thanks everyone, I will be updating my status on facebook throughout the day on Monday to keep you posted on how Micah is doing.

Pumpkin Patch
Going to the pumpkin patch is one of my favorite things to do as a family, we never actually buy a pumpkin there, but the bright orange pumpkins make a great backdrop for pictures! I also like pretending we live somewhere with seasons...
I had a hard time choosing just a few pictures to share, so instead I decided to post an album which you can see here (even if you don't have facebook):

It came and went...
I am ashamed to say that Micah's two month birthday, and two month pediatrician appointment came and went without me posting! I also realized when he rolled over for the first time today that I had not shot or posted any video of him!! I am a bad Mother!!
Anyway, I immediately got the video camera out, and am working on getting something together this week, for now enjoy the pictures below.
And for those keeping track Micah weighed 12lbs 4oz, is a very long 25" and is planning on overtaking his older cousin Liam any day now.
On another note - is anyone reading this blog? Or are you just seeing these posts on Facebook? I don't want to keep posting if there isn't anyone out there! Leave me a comment if you are reading!!
After a family picnic -- we wore them both out!

Picnic at the park
We have been busy with our two little ones (although the littlest is rapidly growing and I have just discovered is too tall for his outfits with feet!!).
Even though life is busy we make sure to take time to do unexpected things. We decided to have a picnic dinner the other night, and I had already started making dinner - spaghetti, so it became a spaghetti picnic, not exactly a neat and tidy dinner, but we all had a great time!

Family of four
As you can imagine (or have experienced) the addition of another child makes life just that little bit busier, which is my excuse for not posting any updates!
We have been so fortunate to have my parents visiting us, right now they are in San Francisco actually having a few days vacation (Cassia has had them on the run and I think they will need a vacation to recover from their visit with her!)
Micah is doing really well, he is a great little baby, and Cassia is the president of his fan club.
We had Micah dedicated at church last Sunday and here is the video.

Photos from June...
I just realized that I have not updated this for a really really long time!
I really don't have an excuse, life is always busy, I guess I just feel like won't have real news until our baby is born (a little less than a month to go). Cassia is getting very excited to meet her brother, and told my tummy this morning "Come out now baby brother."
Until he arrives (when there are sure to be lots of pictures) here are a few from the last couple of months.

7 Shades of Red
I was tagged by my friend Nicole for this post. The instructions were to showcase 7 photos showing red around the home.
In no particular order...
1. A package of my favorite german Gummie Bears - although there are now a few less than when this photo was taken. And actually the white ones not the red ones are my #1 pick.
3. My beloved Macbook
4. Pretty much every kitchen utensil in my drawers
5. A jar candle that is almost done, which I am very sad about because they don't make this kind any more.
7. A warm throw that has been my companion in this cold weather
Since not too many of you actually blog I won't tag anyone, but if you feel inspired be sure to share your shades of red with me.

Christmas, Australia etc.
I know I have been remiss not writing a blog for a long time, or even posting photos! Sorry!
We have had a busy few months, celebrating Thanksgiving in the US, Jason then went to Israel for two weeks at the start of December, and right now we are in Australia!
We have been loving our visit with family, and enjoying every minute of our relaxing time and taking full advantage of Gran and Poppa!
We are not sure what 2010 holds in store for us, so watch this space! It has been a great start to the year so far.
4 Generations!
