found a place! We looked last weekend and applied for one place and found out this weekend that we were successful. Hooray!
The place met most of our requirements and all 3 of us liked it. My only worry was that it would be too far from the train station for Myles but he said it was fine. There is no more swimming pool so will have to take my nieces and nephews to public pools and beaches more. But its big enough for my cousin to hold his outdoor wedding reception if he chooses.
And added bonuses - it has two of my favourite trees - hibiscus and frangipani. Saw it again today and the backyard had lots of fallen frangipani flowers so of course I pictured me and my children collecting them all and filling the house with its scent. Especially the bathrooms - yip have two which is great when there are lots of people.
The rooms are a great size and have built ins, floor boards throughout the house except for the kids room which has a carpet that looks like it could cope with messy little ones :) That was an added bonus because floorboard can be cold in winter for little ones.
There are two fire places, not useable but great looking features and I have a window seat in the master bedroom. Plus air con in the living areas which will be great for our hot summers. The backyard is a great space for the kids, not too big, and very private. Plus great outdoor spaces for hanging out.
And its close to our church. What more can I ask for? Oh yes, i can see it being a very cosy home to raise little ones and for family gatherings. Thanks, LORD.

God is GOOD all the TIME! (can you tell we saw Lincoln Brewster last nite in concert at our church??!!)
Your new house sounds marvelous....What is a frangepani tree? Is that native to Australia?
We are on spring break here and loving it...temps have been in 60's and sat we saw 70 degrees! I have lots planned for the week including major spring cleaning and a hiking trip!
hi faith
frangipani is a tropical tree you can find all over the Pacific islands. They come in lots of colours and have a beautiful scent. The ones in Australia are white petals with yellow spanning from the middle...will download a picture.
I read your cleaning plans...we're going to have to hire a cleaner for our place. Myles is still recovering from his ankle and foot injury, I'm preggy.
caleb has had a fever the past 2 days, very high temperatures but no other symptoms. Doctor said he's fine just fighting off some virus.
But will definitely start packing this week. We get the keys on Saturday - exciting!!
