Passing the Time...

This past week we had orthodontist and doctor appointments in Cairns.  Teddy is on an every six month check-up now, so he did not have to go.  Mersades and Gavin only had 15 minute appointments each.  Gabrielle needed two appointments to be fitted for a retainer, and  I had a doctors appointment.  Because of Mersades and Gavin's quick appointments, Chris flew down with us on Monday, and then flew back with Mersades and Gavin that same day.  Gabby and I were to stay until Thursday, which was the next Airfast flight.  Well late Wednesday afternoon, we were notified that the plane was "broken", and we would have to wait until Monday's flight.  There is only this plane that flies from Timika to Cairns.  Usually it flies once a week, but once a month a Thursday flight is thrown in. 
Because our appointments were all done, and we are leaving for the States in three weeks, and because everything in Cairns is at least twice as expensive as it is in the States, I didn't really want to spend four extra days there.
So because we were on medical, the company paid for us to take the long way home.  That is, we flew from Cairns to Darwin to Bali, back to Timika.  It took us about 24 hours to get home, but at least we are home now!
Anyway, to pass the time, Gabby and I spent a lot of time at the park.  One day I took my camera and these are the pictures of Gabby playing.
Enjoy!









I got a few that turned out.  Plus, it helps that the "model" is super cute! :)
Have a great day everybody!
