Greetings from kapunda

Hi all, Fiona and I arrived in kapunda last night, Fiona is getting to be quite a sophisticated traveller, Organizing the pocket in front of her and reading the emergency information card, She still snubs her nose at all their food offerings and subsists on whatever milk I can get my hands on but Oh well. 

Our big flight from san francisco went well, she slept some and entertained herself watching movies on the pane entertainment system and my Ipod. Reading books was another time sink. About 2 in the mornign after a 10 pm flight she woke with a bit of a start and peed around her nappy onto my leg and the edge of my seat so i smelled a bit like wee for the rest of our transit but the seat dried aventually. We had the window seat and but only needed to crawl over our neighbour a coupleof times. She complimented us on how well we did together, and how well behaved fiona was. (bragging mother moment)

After we landed in Sydney she was a bit unsure about getting on another plane but getting to ride ont he bus between the International and domestic terminal was novel enough to distract her. Getting through customs was fine but she kept saying that she needed to poo, but our line kept moving and I couldnt' leave it, so I ust told her to wait then as soon as we were through found a toilet and sat her on it and then she said that she didn't need to poo. 

We got to Brisbane and bythen she really didn't want to get on another plane and said so. Ben and Annie were at the airport after some car drama, and we were happy to get home to their place. fioan and annie got along well and did a good job of sharing their toys. Charlotte and Ollie were wonderful with her and They all spent a good amount of time negotiating as to who got a go ont he ipod to play ganes/watch Nemo next. 

We're here in Kapunda now, we stayed up late last night having a drink with everyone here. And thismorning we went out in the yard where there is a wonderful swing, fiona is still exhauted and is having an impromptu 9 AM nap (she needed it despite saying "I dont't need to sleep between the nose blowing and tears) She's not convincing when she says she doesn't need to sleep but her eyes are drooping. 

We're looking forward to a lazy week here. Exploring int he garden and having a trip or two to the park or duck pond. I'll update with photos when I get home but until then....

take care, 

Love Louise
