Well its the 14th today! So Linsey is now one year old!! Wheeeeeeh.
It was a bit strange having her first birthday in Sydney and since we''ve just moved here we do not know to many people with kids yet. So we just ended up doing loads of shopping in the nearby shopping mall and buying Linsey loads of presents:) We made some new friends there aswell so that was cool. We got Linsey a nice birthday cake too :)

Don''t get us wrong though, it was far from a lonely day because not only Linsey had her birthday. Daniel became 60 on the day we arrived and was giving his birthday party tonight. We headed out that way early so we would have some time to catch up. Faez had already arrived and he mentioned he had been cooking for the last 2 days getting all the snacks ready. Boy boy boy, Faez can cook!!! (Daniel and Faez are both collegues of mine) Then again, Faez''s cooking has become fairly famous amongst the group of friends.
It didn''t take to long until Daniels house was filled with people (and it isn''t a small house) and Linsey had loads of attention from so many people.
I''ve now finished my first full week at Instinct Systems and have had a great time. Lily also is having the time of her life so far starting to get her bearings around Sydney. It really helps starting out from the same apartement building we were in in January.
I''m also thrilled about learning to work with Mac OS X and my new macbook is really a great laptop!
The weather has changed for the better, though it is still very cold it hasn''t rained much these days. The weather report has been threatening with rain and thunderstorms over the last 3 days but they haven''t arrived just yet. Just look at these sunset pictures:
