Tis the Season

If I could send you all a Christmas card it might look something like this:


I might include a family picture like this one:



Or maybe this one:



Inside I might say something like this (except in a MUCH cooler font!):

Merry Christmas and G'day from down under! We wish we could be with you all these holidays but alas flight prices are high and the star trek transporter is still in the developmental stages. We do however have the guest room all made up in anticipation of your eminent arrival! We are happy, well and feeling blessed in our new life here in Australia. We are making friends and feeling more settled each day. Australia is a beautiful country with friendly people and amazing scenery. Its now officially summer here and we are excited to experience a hot Christmas! Liam and Jonas are extremely popular with the kids at church because of their "cute American accents" and have even adopted several Australian expressions! Vanessa has been spending her time working, making trips to the library, parks and shops and meeting other mothers for playgroup. Nate is busy with his preliminary dissertation research and he is now on the green bandwagon, riding his bike to and from campus every day (10 miles round trip).

We wish you a Merry Christmas and happy new year! We love you and miss you.


Love Nate, Vanessa, Liam and Jonas
