The house is finished :)

At long last the house is finished! Praise the Lord we are due to move in on the first week of March. It is hard to believe we actually get to move in.

Interesting Signs

These were some interesting signs that were in the Ration Shed Museum. We thought we could use them at school.

Trip to Cherbourg



Susan did a prac for her nursing degree at a place called Cherbourg. It is an Aboriginal Community about three hours west of us. She was working at the Community Health Centre. We decided to go and visit her. We had to check out where she was working and living. She really enjoyed her time at Cherbourg. She got to spend lots of time working with children. The staff realized she was good with kids. Must be all the work she does with Ben and Emily that prepared her for the job! :) She went with a man they call "Pickles" to do health checks on Aboriginal children. He did not usually like taking students with him because they slow him down. Susan said that they broke the record on how many children they saw that day. I think Pickles was pleased with her work.
