Each year these “year in reflection” posts get later and later but I like looking back and remembering what I did each year.  2013 was a pretty quiet really although it had it’s challenges settling back into Alice, getting employment and keeping it.

• We returned to Alice after a year in Peru
• I worked at Batchelor Institute first for the Digilink Program which I really liked and then for SEE program which was really hard.
• Martin and I drove to Sydney on the Oodnadatta track which we hadn’t done before.  It was pretty spectacular.
• Martin looked after Nina until July and then she started daycare 4 days a week.
• Nina turned three.  It has been a great year with her.  She’s so chatty and such a kind spirited little girl.  Swimming is her fave thing at the moment and we go to the pool and central Australia’s amazing waterholes a lot.  We also read lots of books, draw, do puzzles, play hide and seek endlessly, eat way too much, visit numerous parks etc etc.
• Martin completed another unit of his masters, a Cert IV in training and assessment and got a job at the flexible learning centre
• We finished the year in Sydney.  Had a lovely holiday on the beach, a visit to Tamworth and a really fun New Year’s Eve party with so many dear friends.
