Yep- we are in the new house. YIPPEEEEEE. Finally got the internet connected last night and have just spent a lovely half hour with a coffee catching up on what everyone has been up to in blog-world. Now let me catch you up on what had been happeneing here.

Removalists came last M0nday, spent 2.5 hours loading the truck, drove 2 minutes up the road to new house and spent 2.5 hours unloading the truck! I spent Tuesday cleaning the old house ready to hand over the keys on Thursday. It was very emotional saying goodbye to each room. AS I pulled closed the curtains and drew the blinds I was totally sobbing – memories of buying it, starting our company in the spare bedroom, bringing home new babies, renovating etc etc it was just so overwhelming. Thanks house for a great 9 years! I made the new owner promise to take care of it!!

So here at the Mansion we have 4 levels of living space. It is the biggest house I have ever seen let alone lived in. On the first level we have kitchen, dining and the rumpus room (kids play room). Second level is my study and the loungeroom. Third level is our bedroom, and 2 (now) pink bedrooms which the 3 girls are in. Up on the “mezanine” level are 2 more large bedrooms with balconies overlooking the gorgeous snow covered mountains. I am totally loving living here. It is still a big mess with boxes laying about unopened, walls half painted, no wardrobes, mismatched make-do curtains and builders mess and tools lying around, but hey, it is home and everyday something is different.

I’m 29 weeks pregnant now. All is good but for the sciatica that kicks in every once in a while. I’m wondering whether it is worth having some physio on it. I couldn’t walk last night it was so painful, but I’ve found if I keep moving it doesn’t seem so bad.

Well that is probably enough for now. Got lots of jobs to do today while the kids are at grandma’s. Can’t wait for the school hols start. Cheers!!!
