March 2007

Hi Everyone,
After my friend Tricia left, we had Mike's parents here for a week. It was great having visitors. It was a little piece of home. Instead of of us being the tourists, we got to be tour guides. It was sad to see them leave.
We celebrated Kyle's 14th birthday. We never imagined we would be buying any of our children a surf board. Kyle loves the beach. In fact, he has decided to stay until the end of December with us instead of going home early for basketball tryouts.
Mariah celebrated her 12th birthday. She got a digital camera. She really enjoys taking pictures of all of our experiences.

Last weekend we traveled south 6 hours to Jervis Bay for an exchange social. We have included pictures from this weekends adventure-the coastal highway, our aboriginal culture night including a didgeridoo player and dancers, Kyle on our hike through the gum trees, and a family shot at the "hole in the rock".

We have been gone for more than 3 months. Our Australian adventure down under is 1/4 of the way over. We are looking forward to our 2 week holiday from school.

Happy Easter.

Love, The Steens
