MM, can't help you with your tax question, but I hope you have a great trip and M's ears don't give her any more trouble

PAP, lol whomever made up that tradition obviously didn't have kids with hair like Noah!

Trill, good to hear you are feeling better. Isn't this just a fantastic age! W is so much fun.

SupaB, good to see you

Well girls, it has been a long time coming






but I am excited





to finally announce




that I.....





have bought a house!!!!!!


Our offer was accepted and we move in early Feb. It has 4 bedrooms, a sunroom/office, a sleepout and is on almost half an acre. It needs a bit of work but nothing too major, I am quite excited. And we had a lovely theoretical windfall when the bank double checked some land we own and found the value has changed from $50k to $125k - I didn't even know!
