    Anna: I think my DH is cluckier than me. I am happy with two as I am not sure I can handle more than that, but he would love to have a whole football team. Although I think he loves the act of making babies even more than actually having them.

    Is it nice at Bushland Beach? I have only ever been out there once before, as we usually only go as far as derragun. My MIL lives in Deeragun so have no real need to go further unfortunately. Do you feel isolated at all out there?

    Just listening to the radio news: THey think the extrpoical cyclone will most likely re-form on its way out to see. The weather is just unreal..

    Can I ask everyones honest opinion? My son wants to start a sport and he liked watching the tennis.. DO you think he is too young (4.5) to start playing and learning? Nothing full-on. My family seems to think so, but I am putting him and his Ds into little athelietics in July so maybe not? THe just need some other interaction with other kids.

    Ah my Dh is the complete opposite, he would have been happy to stop at 1 or 2 lol

    It is nice out here, quiet and out of the way. For the last 2yrs we've lived outside of town (when we were in Victoria) so I dont know what we'd do if we lived in town. We were originally supposed to be in Kirwan but our move got pushed back so we had to give that house up. Then this one became available before our move so we took it sight unseen. Luckily enough its a brand new 4 bedroom, the nicest house we've lived in so far and its just big enough for the 5 of us and all our stuff. Itll be the one thing I miss most about being here if the Army moves us in July. I dont really feel isolated because I drive (although it took me forever to get my licence ha) and we have to have 2 cars for Dhs job (he travels to different workplaces atm) so I just hop in the car and cruise around town if I get bored. A sanity saver I assure you, if I didnt drive Id probably hate it out here as I feel bad asking people to come all this way to see me.

    I dont think your son is too young for a sport, not sure what the age limit is on tennis lessons, I know alot of sports ask the child to be 3 or over before starting. Ring around and see if there are any tennis coaches giving lessons! I cant wait til my boys are old enough to do sport, its very important to Dh and I that they get some physical activity in outside of school and what we do with them. I danced up until I got married and my Dh always wished his parents had let him play football. Go for it!
