NYE 2010

We arrived at 11AM to get the best seats for the Sydney 2010 NYE fireworks.  It was one of those once in a lifetime things that we will most likely never do again ... the fireworks were amazing, although I don't think it was worth 12-13 hours of Sydney's blazing sun! 

My baby bump at 25 weeks!

Wow! I'm getting bigger!  Do I really have 3.5 more months left?

My short lived career as a florist

I no longer want to be a florist... it's hard work! But I do love it as a hobby and I am loving the summer in Sydney. My past weekend: Sat yoga at 10AM, swimming in the ocean with my two favorites - Chris and Jakey, followed by a great pizza dinner!  Woke up early on Sunday to attend a day floral arrangement class.  I made a Christmas wreath (Estee, how can you not like wreaths? Do you see how pretty my wreath is?  Are you jealous?), Christmas tree and a bouquet.

Chris Azalde, the new Thorpedo

Way to go Chris! He finished in the top third % overall in the Bondi to Bronte ocean swim ... which translates into the top 5% if the swim had taken place in the USA (Aussies are just so much more fit!) http://bonditobronte.com.au/  As Chris crossed the finished line, he heard a crowd cheer and he thought it was "his friends" ... he looked up and realized none of us were there because he swam it faster than we walked it. :(  Honestly the only way I could have beat him is if I had taken a cab.  Afterwards we all enjoyed a nice brunch at our favorite Bronte brunch spot, Salina's.  Thanks Estee, Dan, Dave, and Arsia (frog) for supporting and cheering on Chris! :)
