Sorry it has taken me sooooo long to post something, but it took us 2 weeks to get internet! You would think we are living in a third world country with the pace that they do things here.
We had amazing flights all the way. We were blessed with being able to stop and see my family at LAX for an hour before our flight to Fiji. It was hard for me to say goodbye since I know that there is not a real possibility for any of them to visit while we are here. The kids (especially Jacob) got a ton of stuff from my family to play with on the plane, including his favorite movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (we have seen it one too many times already. It might be going into hidding pretty soon).
The flight there was good. I got the kids in their jammies before we boarded and placed Camilla in the bassinet. After dinner Jacob settled down for the night and did not wake up til the next morning close to landing.
Our stay in Fiji was awesome. We got to relax and spend time as a family. Jacob got pretty comfy with the people there and greeted everyone by saying "Bula!" (hello in Fijian). He even got us to buy him a Sulu (male wrap) and wore it to dinner one night. Camilla had her share of fun, as all the girls at the restaurant at the hotel would grab her as soon as they saw us coming and would pass her around. Aside from the beach and pool, I think Jacob also loved the Bula Bus, a small bus that would drive you to the port and shops. We would LOVE to go back there when we head back to the states.
After three fun days, we headed off to our new town. We flew from Fiji to Brisbane and from there to Townsville. We got in late and this is the one time that poor Jacob had a massive meltdown, other than that, the kids did awesome.
Well, I will be posting the next part of our arrival to Oz. We sure miss you all!
Please keep us in your prayers.

Hi! So glad you have arrived safely. We miss you. The girls have been learning about Australia this week. They can find it on the map and globe. They have been learning about the Australian animals, Great Barrier Reef, coastal cities and outback area. They would love to know what town you are in and where it is. They would also like to know what special animals you have seen or foods have tried. Look forward to hearing more of your adventure! Love ya!
