All settled in

So we are all settled in in our new house. The Cat I had to keep inside for a week but he has been out and about so I am not too worried that he will run away. He could not be happier - he found his happy place in my new big kitchen in the afternoon sun. We bought two dogs - a Jack Russell and a German Shepperd. Both are still babies, my babies, and I have to teach the children to handle with care. I can't say thank you enough. I already have the Christmas spirit and can't wait to do the preparation for Christmas time this year. We will skip the tree. I might buy a small one where my 2 year old and the 2 dogs can't reach so we can put presents around it on the 24th when the man from the South Pole visits. Life is one big adventure and I am busy embracing every moment that I get. Blessed is the word.

The big Move...

After nine years in our current home – we have to say goodbye this week. I have all these emotions – imagine being sad and excited all at the same time. When we moved in here my daughter started walking. A Cat, two brothers and nine gold fish later we have to move because we have outgrown this place. What a lovely home – I would gladly stay another 8 years. We were looking at bigger houses for the last 2 years or so. As a parent you are always weary of the area that you move to and so many questions boggle your mind like will it be safe. I must say we found the perfect little (big) place. At long last the boys can get a dog - they have been nagging my husband and I for the last year. We will be able to entertain a bit and hold all the children’s parties at home. Claudia just turned 10 and we had to do the venue thing. It was the big ten and I did not want it to go unnoticed, and it didn’t. I have so many plans for our new house – but first we have to get packing for the big move. Not in the mood but somebody has to do it, right...
