Fathers Day - American style

It was Fathers Day here yesterday! Andrew had the choice of celebrating now or waiting until September for Australian Fathers Day. He chose to celebrate now but I'm sure we'll get to September and he will want to celebrate again. This was his second Fathers Day and interestingly neither were spent in Australia (last year was in Cambridge UK) He got a few different presents including 'Andrew's pizza' license plates, 2 creme brulee sets and a 'my dad is great' mug. After church we headed home for a picnic in the backyard with an antipasto plate while Lucy paddled in her pool. Then we headed indoors for a lamb roast crusted with rosemary and garlic followed by a summer berry pudding. We also watched the long anticipated season finale for The Office.

In other news we are still unpacking. Boxes are still arriving daily (thanks to David our UPS delivery guy) and our garage is a big mess of cardboard. But we are now fairly organised and should be able to invite people over for meals soon. Last weekend we headed over to Erica & Rick's parents house (Bill & Joyce) for lunch and a swim. It was such a hot day that is was awesome to go swimming (which we did twice!) Lucy has had an ear infection and was quite sick for most of last week and missed daycare. We have another exciting week coming up with Andrew heading off to Boston tomorrow for work and Lucy and I joining him on Friday for the weekend. We are reading 'Make way for ducklings' in anticipation!

strangely enough mothers day is the same day (in may). it's just fathers day that is different.
