Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My nephew (husband's side) is visiting from Australia. Actually, he grew up in New Zealand and now lives in the most eastern part of Australia (can't remember the town). The first time I met him, he was 12. Now he is 26 and visiting the US to "bond" with all his US relatives. My three boys are so enjoying his company. This afternoon we are going to have a geography study on guess where? The boys want to ask him about all the cool insects and reptiles he sees in Australia. We have him for 6 days. Should be fun!

A quiz: Most eastern town of Australia? Easy Byron Bay!! Absolutley gorgeous and up the road from me

My boys have been wanting to make a list of all the wildlife we have seen since moving here, I'm planning on making it a blog entry I'll let your boys know when it is done. Yesterday the dc headed down to the dam for their first swim of the season, but were home early as they saw a red belly black snake in the dam with them

Enjoy getting to know your nephew, 6 days isn't long though

Oh do share it with us Erin. We can compare notes. The boys (and my dds as well!) were completely captivated by all that was shared with us. We will have many more questions today!
