Fidler On The Reef: October 2019

When almost a year goes by without any blog posts, you can assume your blog has died. I think about it often - quite often, in fact - but time is a hot commodity these days. Maybe this will be its revival.

To recap, here's what's gone on for the Fidler Four over the last year-ish:

We're still in Sydney so come visit! Julie accidentally returned to work (I know, rt?) in June and quickly found her groove after almost 11 years of mat leave.

We haven't been traveling much as of late but we've got a few trips booked coming up:

Meeting Julie's dad, Larry, in Fiji in December because #whynot?
Eytan is going with school to New York (!!) in March for Montessori Model UN
Far North Queensland / Port Douglas with friends in April

We plan to continue visiting the US from the end of June annually for 3-4 weeks each year. It can be a long time between seeing family and friends but it'd be insane to leave Sydney for the N American (Detroit, especially) winter when it's summer Down Under.

The jury is still out on whether the boys are developing accents. They're no doubt Americans by birth but each day that passes we notice more Aussie lingo (and intonation!) that has become part of our everyday language.

Otherwise, spring has sprung, it's baseball season Down Under, and the kids are eagerly anticipating summer!

Here are some photo highlights of the last several months:

The boys are playing zooka (machine pitch) baseball this spring and Micah has really enjoyed playing catcher. As of 25 Oct, they're 3-1. Go Falcons!

The boys split a day of school holidays between Aaron's office in St Leonards and Julie's office in Chatswood. They took the train between locations and enjoyed a refreshing fresh juice when they arrived to Chatswood.
