Our House - Part 2

E-mail Print PDF

After we realised that our offer had been accepted, we were so excited and rapt that we told everyone how we got a house in one day.  One of our friends, Gary, was so happy for us he decided to have a look at the house himself!

So, there he was standing outside the house having a look at it when the owners came back from buying Fish ‘n’ Chips.

Q: What would you do if you were ‘caught’ looking at someone’s house?

Our House - Part One

E-mail Print PDF

In 2006, we discovered that we were expecting #4 and realised that the a small, three-bedroom back-unit-of-a-dual-occupancy which we’d lived in for ten years was no longer going to be suitable.  It was already beginning to feel small for our three growing children.  And so the search for a bigger house began.

That's Happy New Year in Chinese.  This year is the Year of the Ox.  We had our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with some customary dishes and some not-so-Chinese dishes.

 We had Fish Provencale, Prawns with garlic and champagne, Fried noodles,  Pork and preserved vegetable strips and a green salad.  Our good friend Gary came over to help us eat and celebrate.

After dinner, we watched Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.

A New School Year

E-mail Print PDF

A new year has started and that means another school year has started as well.  This will be our eighth year using Sonlight Curriculum and the first year homeschooling three children.  One thing I love about this rich literature-based Christian curriculum is that they have tailored their curriculum to suit families with several children.  Our children happen to have the right ages that their studies coordinate: Benjamin will be studying Introduction to World History Part 1, and the older two will be studying World History In-Depth, Part 1.  This year we will be looking at the Egyptian and Greek Empires.
