We’ve been here for almost a month now. We’re getting settled and used to the quirks of the new house. It’s a beautiful place. The kids still haven’t started school, but we’re not stressing about it. There’s a bit more paperwork to be done and uniforms to be ordered! As soon as they start I’ll post a picture of them in their new school outfits. All said and done, the entire primary school (K-7) has 112 students! We’re so happy with the size! The teachers are fantastic and folks are really looking forward to adding the Ness boys to their roster.
Thus far we’ve been as far north as Rockhampton (and the Capricorn Caves) and as far south as Brisbane. Last week we attended the Eumundi Street Fair which was spectacular. What a fantastic little town! Cooloola, where we do our grocery shopping, has a fruit market every Wednesday and a plant market every Saturday. I’ve already picked up a ton of bulbs to plant. They even grow year round here!
Our furry kids are still in quarantine and we miss them dearly. Missy is doing very well with my parents and has become a settled and happy cat. I can’t wait to have the other critters here with us!
On a very sad front, Wade’s father is very ill and most likely will pass away within the next few days. For those who didn’t know us then, Wade’s Mom passed away in March of 2009. It’s been a very hard time. Dad supported us endlessly and with great passion all through preparing for this move and so we know we have his love and he knows that he has ours. We love him dearly and will desperately miss him. I’ll keep everyone posted.
With any luck we will have internet at home in the next few days, and then communication will get much easier!
Lots of Love!
