Online photos sharing

Online photos is great, however I still do not want my photos to go on the net until when I sign up with Flickr and rely that you can choose whom can look up you photos.



I love to go to our library web side and check out what is happening in our and other branches. Reading through difference activity that tag on the photos which it reminded me the old scrapping photos that lots of mothers like to do, the only difference is not keeping at home, everyone can share at the same time and enjoyed the special moment.



Now, other thing I love is you can put commons on to your photos and hoping that our"work" not be used for a wrong purpose. I had spent a bit of time to find out how to do it. It so easy to get every where on the net!!!

Check it out our World Languages selection at our Maroochydore Library's photos.

Just a bit about us

I was born and grown up in Vietnam. I came to Australia about 10 years ago. I started a family, had my first child in Sydney. The place where we were lived there were alots of Vietnamese people. I was very confident that my son will speak Vietnamese.
My husband is Australian, so we speak English with each other. He would speak few words in Vietnamese( just in foods!!!!!), so sometime he say things in Vietnamese. I speak Vietnamese to our son. I do believe he understand what I said.
We moved to Sunshine Coast about 7 years ago. That when the time I feel that I live in a English speaking country. Just a few Vietnamese people around. I still spoke Vietnamese at home with our son.
By 3, he could sing children song in Vietnamese, however he did not spoke in Vietnamese. He can just understand if I ask him to do a few simple things as turn the light on or off, close the door.... parts of the body,things in the house...That time I though that was good enough, I though that my son would speak Vietnamese. I will continue next time.
