Kate and Tainn arrived here this afternoon after a morning arrival in Sydney:
Kate decided to come to Oz for just a month after it was taking too long to get a visa for Erick. Hopefully they'll all be coming for a longer stay later in the year.

They've even got their own page on this site!

We built this wall between the kitchen and hall, and now the lining is all up in the kitchen and front bedroom so all that's needed is the plastering:
