Our big move to Australia started in June of this year. The weather in Utah when we left wasn't cold enough for snow, but it definitely wasn't warm! We get to Australia and it's the dead of winter, which means we haven't seen or felt the hot sun in over a year! You wouldn't think this would be a big deal, but let me tell you, when your body expects summer and then it doesn't get it, it goes into a depression! Our family struggled all winter in Parkes with endless rain and cold days! And Face book didn't help it at all! Watching all our friends enjoying summer was torture! Thankfully it was a mild winter, but it was winter non the less!
For the last week the weather has become increasing warmer and warmer and today the boys couldn't take it any more! They had to go swimming!
It's been raining so much this winter our pool is too full of water! But, the water was warm and the sun was out! The boys were in heaven!
On a different note, Luke a few weeks ago asked if he could turn our hall closet into his bedroom. I thought it was a funny request, but knew it was something he just needed to get out of his system, so I let him. Three weeks later, Luke is still sleeping in the closet!
He just piled a bunch of blankets on the floor and uses that as his bed. He also brought in his stuff animals, lamp, fan (Luke has to sleep with a fan blowing on his face all night), pictures, deodorant and clock. I thought it was cute he brought in his picture of Jesus and his missionary savings bank too! I don't know how long he will keep this up, but I'll keep you updated!
