How Are You Going?

I love that, here, on the other side of the world everything is just the same and yet vastly different. There are people, cars, grocery stores, malls, trees, animals . . . but each one of these things is so different from home.  I love that God has given us the chance to experience a new culture and explore a whole new place. And we've also met some amazing people! And our little man doesn't stop growing, either! So hard to believe he'll be a year old next month.

Litte Man is almost walking! It won't be long. His first steps will be Australian! :)

I've been trying to keep track of some of the Australian words and sayings since we arrived.  Here is a list so far! :) 

• how are you going? (how are you doing?)
• how did you go? (how did you do?)
• pram (stroller)
• supermarket (grocery store)
• cuppa (cup of coffee) *they have the best coffee EVERYWHERE! :) Seriously have to keep myself from getting some each time we go out.
• footie (rugby)
• dummy (pacifier)
• bin (trash can)
• trading hours (store hours)
• bub (baby)
• nappy (diaper)
• cheers (thank you, enjoy)
• no worries (you're welcome)
• when you say thank you for something, their response is "it's alright" 
• creche (nursery, for babies)
• shops (stores)

I'll add more if I think of some! :) 

Blessings!

We're so thankful for weekends and the chance to explore together. We are at the Canberra annual Floriade Festival here.
