Let me preface this blog that I am not referring to Tim and I announcing that we are expecting another child. God help us if that ever happened. I love my N & E and can actually claim that I am content. I know that I am made to be a mother to 2 but not sure if I would cope with any more. I am quite happy adding to the brood with having my niece and nephew stay with us.
Anyhow, I digress.
In several weeks time, Tim, Noah, Eliza and myself will be saving goodbye to our beloved Fairlight flat. The place where we began as a family. The place where Tim and I built our hopes and dreams for the unknown. The place where Tim and I have seen each other at our worse and at our best. The place we call home.
Tim and I are moving out of this place as different people. When we moved in, little did we know that this place would see us through 2 children, our wedding, lots of lovely family and friends coming to stay from all parts of the world, baptisms, playdates, friendships with people from the area and lovely get togethers with people we love. Soon, we move out carrying those wonderful wonderful memories with us.
I am a bit apprehensive with the move as the change is no longer about me. I have packed my life up several times. Previously, my greatest worry has been either finding a new job with the move or what the change in commute meant.
Today I am thinking about new child care centres for the children. I am thinking about first year of school for Noah. I am thinking about swimming lessons. How will the children adjust to the change?
How will they cope?
People have asked me what my new commute may be like and quite honestly, thats the least of my worry - for now!
However, I am also confident that our new beginning could only be an extension of the beautiful blessings God has showered us with here at our Fairlight flat. I am a firm believer in Gods gift and I know that our move is a gift from God. I know because the gift was not immediate - like most gifts I have received. Therefore I know that each one of us will be given the coping mechanism to make the most of our new future.
Today, I am full of mixed emotions.
The excitement of new beginnings and a place for our family to finally plant our feet will hopefully surpass the feeling of anxiousness of changes, new routines and of course having to pack and move!
Wish us luck!!!

Sibling love - almost a year later!
Almost a year ago, I blogged about the sibling love between Noah and Eliza.
With such pride in our hearts, Tim and I continue to notice how much they really enjoy each other's company - and as they continue to grow, they are becoming such great friends. They truly make each other laugh and as with siblings, make each other cry!
Noah calls Eliza his baby and is quite proud of her, especially at school, and the first thing Eliza does upon waking up is to toddle over to Noah's bedroom to wake him. We often hear her wail Noooooooooauuuuuuu too.
We (well Tim mostly) continue to capture the love and friendship these 2 have for each other. So proudly we share:
