Today marks 3 weeks that we’ve been here.  It actually feels like longer.  We’re really loving it.

A friend of ours through Apache invited me to a play group with the AWC (American Women’s Club) of Perth.  There were 5 of us and all the other moms are so sweet.  They have play group every Friday morning and girls night out too.  I’m excited to hang out with these girls again.

Tonight was the PLC classroom parents get together at Duchess.  Great turnout and I enjoyed getting to know everyone.  Most of the parents are Aussies but several international as well – Belgium, UK, South Africa and Asia.

Saturday 6/22

Tonight was our first date since moving to Perth! It was a much needed night out and our babysitter was amazing.  She’s the 24-year-old daughter of Apache’s HR Director.  Avery and Coleson both loved her, especially Avery.  She talked about her all day, drew her a picture and made her a necklace.  She wasn’t worried at all that we were leaving. We went to have drinks at the Subi Hotel and then a great dinner at Hippo Creek, a South African steak house.  We had mud huts for appetizer (stuffed mushrooms) and then both had delicious steaks.  Too full for dessert so we went back to Chocolateria San Churro for hot chocolate.  Subiaco is a fun area with a mix of swanky bars, restaurants and night clubs. Great night out.
