They're here
After two and a half months of waiting, on the 5th of September Nicky and Cayley arrived in Melbourne to start our new lives here in Australia. On the 2nd of September I arrived in Sydney for Tech Ed Australia 2008 so I was several hundred kilometres away when they landed. Great planning...So while I was geeking out in Darling harbour, Nicky and Cayley arrived to empty house. After Tech-ed finished, the company I work for - Readify, had their annual meeting so it was great to meet all the people I work with but have never seen their faces (no offices, mobile workforce etc). I got home the next day and was greeted at the airport by Cayley yelling Daddy and running across the airport to give me a hug and tell me how much she missed me. We had to prise her off me to get in the car seat but she carried on telling me how much me missed me most of the way home. I couldn't have asked for a better welcome.
Another week of work has gone by since then and Nicky has been making do with the few belongings that we have. Our container of furniture arrives sometime next week so that will be a great improvement. We went today to buy a car after Nicky shopped around for the best deal. We ended up buying a Kia Rondo 7 seater, so we'll get that next week too. Here's some pics:
The sun is out and it's a nice warm day so I'm off to the park with Cayley.
