90 Weeks

This week has been quite calm and uneventful, except that Carmen has developed a slight rash, from head to toe, that flares up at night time.  I think it is an allergy to something, but I don't know what.  It seems to be getting better though.  This week-end we had amazing weather.  On Saturday we told Carmen that we were going to take her to the park (her favourite place in the whole world), but instead we took her to the Aboriginal Walk.  The whole way there she was saying, "Park, park" and clapping her hands.  Then we started on the walk, and she was running ahead, laughing and saying, "Park, park".  This went on for ten minutes or so, until she was looking around and ran straight into a wooden sign.  This knocked her off her feet, and she proceeded to cry mournfully, the whole time saying, "Park, park".  It was then that we realised that she had been running ahead the whole time looking for the park.  How bad did we feel??  I thought she knew she was at the park!  She was very difficult to console, and had to be carried all the way through the rest of the walk.  We won't try that again!  We then went and bought her a boogie board so that after her nap we could take her to Narrawallee Inlet for some swimming, to make it up to her.  She had a blast.  And then today was beautiful again, so we went to the beach with the whole family before Carmen's nap, and then to the Inlet again after her nap.  I wish the weather would stay like this forever, it is amazing!

On the Aboriginal Walk, very excited to find the park.

 At this point, we thought Carmen was sitting playing in the sand behind us.  Little did we know she had left to apparently walk to the park.  That speck in the distance is her!
