Moving

So we're in the midst of packing up a house and moving into a bigger house. Much bigger. 9 bedrooms bigger. Wow. What a lot of housework....shudder....oh well, it's necessary.

You see my family is about to grow. Quite considerably. And no, there's no buns in the oven. Actually these buns are quite well done now. My nephews, Michael, Sean and Josh, my sister-in-law, Michelle, who is actually quite ill with brain cancer, terminal in fact, and my mother-in-law, Crystal are coming to live with us for a while. There's a doctor here who has agreed to assess and help Michelle medically. It's her last hope and with any luck, migration issues won't hinder that. You see they're coming from the United States.

And soon my 3 step-children are also coming to live with us for a while. Alec, Elisabeth and Isabelle are Alecz's three great kids from his first marriage. They've said they want to come and spend time with their dad and their other three sisters and get to know us and Australia.

So that count is - 5 adults and possibly my youngest brother, Anthony and 9 children. Their ages range from 14 down to 3. Wow. Kind of exciting actually, having sons and stuff. We speak to all kids regularly, either on the phone (thank goodness for engin! thanks dad!) or on our webcams. I've even sewn a couple of items for the girls and have started some cool camo clothes for Alec.

So yea...our house is going to be a constant beehive of activity. Huh, I just thought of something...imagine the chrissy pressies under the christmas tree!! Wow, what an image!! Interesting experience. Looking forward to tackling it.
