On the 24th of February, Lindsey and Will (Margaret's brother) Heron were blessed with a baby daughter Lucy. It is very exciting news. Today, Margaret got a chance to speak to Lindsey and Will. Lincoln and Kipling also got a chance to talk to their Uncle Will ... and they did talk to him ... about Legos. Uncle Will is a very understanding uncle.
We would have liked to report that our exciting news was a huge rainstorm ... but no such luck. We had another school day cancelled on Friday and will likely have another on Tuesday. We did go into Melbourne on Friday to visit another museum and have some amazing Italian food.
The people here could not be nicer through this whole stretch and clearly take a lot of pride in their home communities. Numerous people have gone out of their way to apologize for the weather / fires and reassure us that it is never like this.
It was reported in the paper the other day that Melbourne has received between 0.1" and 0.2" of rain so far this year and last year it had received over two inches by this time - which was still under the average. So we are all doing our rain dances and hoping that the skies will start to send rain our way.
Be well,
Nord
