White House

Yesterday we made an offer on a house here in Mackay and today it was accepted. All going well, we should be starting to move in the next few weeks. It is a small house, quite old, but with a big yard - space for gardens. Sharlene and I will have fun fixing it up. It is in a good position for access to the rest of Mackay - for Zem's schooling and for my own work. It is all very exciting and we are looking forward to the challenge of fitting our stuff into much smaller house than we have now. It is a good reason to cull our stuff (again). We are calling it the 'white house' to distinguish it from the 'new house' that the boys have called the house we have been enjoying for the last 6 months.

Some other interesting events have occurred recently relating to Zemiel. His reports have come through after Sharlene's trip to Brisbane. Some more details on these in the next post. Zemiel has been working on the iPad for the last few weeks and he has gotten a lot clearer with his speech. He has a long way to go yet though, and his social skills are still lacking. We have been toying with the idea of home schooling him as we really don't think he would cope in a classroom.

We'll have more on that as things develop also. Alright, it's been a big day. Time for bed.
