Moving

We are moving next week. Yes, you read that right. Next week!
We purchased my brother in laws house in mid april and get the keys this coming Saturday.
Andrew (Joey's brother) accepted an employement opportunity in Milton, ON (near Toronto). He started work on April 21st. His wife and little girl, Isabella, are moving down with him this Saturday (May 3rd).
You can image we are very busy. Between doing all the little projects here to get done in order to sell for a good price, packing, taking care of three little ones, and then moving and unpacking.... What have we done.
The new house is only 12 minutes driving from door to door to our church. I will know be able to walk to playground and the really cool mall with an indoor playground. We will also be closer to some good friends... mind you we are leaving some behind too. At times, I get sad about leaving to home... but others I am excited about a new one.
The new house has four bedroom on the 2nd floor. The twins will continue to share a room, and the 4th bedroom will be a chapel. If any of you know of anyone needing to give away or even sell some church pews, or kneeler, statues, religious picuters or Icons, tabernacles ( a far fetch... but you never know - we can't even think of asking for permission to have Jesus in our home if we don't have a home for him), candles holders,..... We love Eastern church things but anything that would create a place of reverence could be good.
The new home also has a bathroom on each floor... a real bonus for potty training especially when the home is mainly carpeted.
And the kitchen/ eating area is much bigger, the living room as has wood burning fireplace, and we know have a dinning room - which will be a play room for now. The backyard is still fairly big... not as big as here but for that we would have to go to the country. We will be nice walk to the bus terminal hence we can go down to one car if need be.
Jacob is very excited about the new house. All he asked for was for his walls to be blue... everything has to be blue... his bike, the juice he drinks, the clothes he wears.... it's his favorite color. ANd voila the his new room already had blue walls... that worked out.
That said he is starting to be worn out with all the movement and busyness of all this. He started hitting Esther on the head again. Poor sweety. Why oh why do boys have to pick on their sisters. He never picks on Daniel... just Esther.
Anyways got to get packing and painting.
God bless,
