Woodland Antics

We're still on the prowl for a home. The process here is a little different.  There are 15minute inspection slots where anyone interested can view the property and put in an application.  Another interesting difference is the rent is listed by the week although the lease is for a year. Today we're putting in an application for a house that is a little too big for us but is in a very nice neighborhood with an excellent primary school.  It's also conveniently along a bike path that Ryan can take to the University. So what's wrong with it?  I'm not a fan of the kitchen or bathroom.  I much prefer a modern kitchen and bath like the house we'll be inspecting later today.  A house that will require Ry to commute via the bus or train.  I long for a house to put our bags and begin the process of making a home.  Wish us luck and I'll be sure to update you when we find our home. Until then we'll continue to make lemonade from the lemons we've been picking

WE MADE IT! The past 5 days have been a bit of a blur. Between flying for 23 hours with a stop-over in San Francisco and  another in New Zealand, losing a day after crossing the International Date Line, going from Summer to Winter as a result of passing over the Equator and the 14 hour time difference our first few days in Australia we were on survival mode. After a full nights rest last night. Today we finally felt normal.  Given it was Sunday and house hunting was not an option we were able to explore our area a bit.  We began with the beach of course.   Fiona releasing starfish back into Port Philip Bay My favorite picture of my handsome boys Reed's first OZ sign picture for his Sign Photo Album They love climbing the massive palm trees The only way to finish such a wonderful trip...EXPENSIVE ICE CREAM!
