Today the boys and girls split up and headed in different directions.
Gabbie's cousin Rachael was in a Ballet/Dance Camp all week long and Friday was open day. So Gabbie, Stephanie and Carol spent the day watching Rachael dance. It was a long day for the girls but Gabbie was in heaven watching all the dancing.
The boys headed off to our old stomping grounds. Our first stop was a look around our old high school. We then headed to the big shopping mall for lunch and a look around at all the changes. Gavin even got to see a couple of the local professional rugby league stars. Gavin also made his first Australian purchase with his spending money, buying a mini rugby ball of the local professional Rugby League team the Manly Sea Eagles. It was very exciting for him as he wants to know all about the game, which we are all going to see Saturday night.
Welcome to the blog of Stephanie, Phillip, Gabriella, Gavin and our lovable puppy Roxy. Hope you enjoy seeing and reading about what is going on in our lives.

This is the time in Sydney

Hi guys! We are enjoying your blog and the chance to hear all about the great things you are doing. I smiled at the thought of Gabbie doing back flips high in the air because she is right that Nonnie would freak (and so would Auntie Lynn!).
Everyone is doing great here. Jeff comes home from Japan in less than a month is beginning to get very sad about leaving "his" kids. They aren't making it easier for him--a goodbye party is being thrown this weekend. He goes to Toyko one more time (to see the play "Lion King" with his Japanese host family and he'll be back in America on August 3. Kris is over in Idaho with Andy working on the wedding list with his parents. I feel like Steve Martin felt in the movie "Father of the Bride" when the list just got longer and longer! Today is 7-7-07 so there is much hype about this "luckiest day of the year". Phil is playing music at Winestock so we're trying to be creative and think of ways to recognize this date!
We miss all of you and send hugs!
Auntie Lynn and Uncle Phil
I have to find out about Krissys engagement on the Gately Blog? How did I get out of the loop? :)
Please tell her congratulations!!!

Would love to get together when you finally get home! :) Have a great time over there!
