Morree Sampling Trip, December 2009

so we travelled to perth for a week to explore and for payton to attend a hydrology conference, and as soon as we get home, boom, payton's gone again! two days after we returned from perth, payton left for a week to morree, nsw for a sampling trip. nova and i tried to figure out if i can actually function as a single parent (turns out i can't - not for long anyway) but managed to stay busy (work and school, what could be busier?) and fed (payton tried to make as many meals as possible before he left).

boarding the "duck" to narrabri, nsw

the gwydir river, where payton and crew sampled.

sorry payton, you're adventures only get two pictures, the rest are of nova, coping with your absence! ever the models of domesticity, nova and i made sun bread - thanks to the story and recipe from aunt erica-la. nice spiral, nova.

that helpful arm belongs to jessica, but nova was actually pretty handy - when not trying to sample each ingredient.

bubble head. one must get all the butter and flour off somehow...

ahhh, bubaccino, you go so fast....

satisfied. (saturday am central market with brian and jessica)
