3 Months in Brisbane..
Three months on Tuesday.And I'm loving it.My eldest daughter who's 14 had a really hard time at 1st ,missing her mates.I even thought about cutting the lead of the webcam because she'd always end up in tears after chatting to family and mates 
But she's slowly adjusting and settling down .I know its early days yet.We got our Permanent residency last week and have had an offer accepted on a house we all love.We are going to try really hard to get a pool built intime for my Mum ,Sister ,Niece and Nephew's visit in Easter.
My Mrs loves it but is missing her Sister loads.(natural I know .I miss mine).
Youngest daughter loves it and keeps coming home with "student of the week" certificates.She's 9 and is going to be a barrister (blesser).
The 5 year old son and heir is just having a ball in the waves up the Sunshine Coast and has started cheering on the Aussies ( TRAITOR) in cricket and rugby to wind up his Old Man and eldest sis..
All in all its been good .Some low days but the highs outweigh the lows..

Nice one, hope you read the lad "England 100 best wickets" for bedtime
He'll want the Adelaide test DVD for Christmas
Glad your getting there, it all takes time.
