Fall pics

Now that the tennis season is over, Peter has started coaching the Girls Basketball team. Meaning the parenting duties have officially switched.
I am glad to have been involved in the tennis season, but I am glad to have my afternoons back and not be travelling 2 and 3 times a week for games... Pete can enjoy that now.
Last week the weather was unseasonably warm with 22 -24 degree days (not unusual for Canberra or Adelaide at this time of the year, but certainly unusual in the Northern hemisphere).

The school continues to solve it's financial issues and we can now be rest assured that we are viable for the next year. A new investor is close to signing us off, so things are looking up- PHEW.
It still means staff cuts though and that is a hard one to deal with. We are not sure of our positions for next year and also unsure for so many of our friends. It will be a hard time of decision making for us this month.

Here are some pics of the kids in front of a couple of beautiful fall trees on campus.

Jack has been working hard to get his blue belt in Taekwondo... he is ready but unfortunately his instructor was not at class to assess him. Here Jack and his friend Ethan are practicing their moves.

When they are synchronized it is hard to tell these 2 apart.

Molly was having a bit of fun playing hide and seek with some other kids. Do you like her hiding spot? Fortunately it was empty with a clean liner :)
