This is the first post for our family blog. Consider it a virtual postcard for all our friends and family! We are excited to be heading to North America in just 12 weeks! New York, Canada, California - all these are on the itinerary, and we want to share our adventure with you. Seven crazy weeks of travelling will be a lot of fun but also exhausting. You can expect to read regular updates about where we are and what we are up to as well as photos, photos, photos and more photos. I think I might be a little addicted to taking photos during family vacations - these are precious times that will help us create very special family memories.

This Blog will also be a travel journal for us. When we come home we will be able to read back about all the fun things we did. Making a scrapbook will be easy because all the memories will already be recorded.

The kids are excited to be adding their travel memories, and hopefully will practise some of their writing skills along the way.

You can expect to see posts from me (Mum), Miss Fliss, Animal Boy and maybe even Dad! Hopefully you will leave us some comments and let us know you are reading our updates and praying for us. 

I'm using alternate names for my kids in an effort to teach them about internet security. They both tell me they are not allowed to use their real names on the internet. Hopefully I won't slip up! I'm sure you will all know who I'm talking about!
