tradition

What a day!!!! Phyl... I can't thank you enough for the chrissy wreath you surprised us (well, me) with today... I can't express how much it means!!!! Michael attached it to the fence and all of a sudden it transformed our house into our home. I was telling my mum about it this evening and how special it was to me.... she said that it really was amazing and that something like that needs to become a tradition. She is so right (as mums always are) and every year from now, the wreath you made us will sit in that spot at christmas time.

So our home seems to be in good shape according to our building inspector (Andrew) who helped us immensley with our meeting with our supervisor today, who seems like a pretty decent guy.

There are a few bits and pieces that need fixing up and looking into but really our brickies have been just fantastic. We are looking forward to the front being completed tomorrow so the roof can begin really soon! Early next week we've been told.. why is it that we (I) hold on to the element of surprise though!? Imagine driving by on Friday and it being started - oohhh the excitement.

I wonder if builders understand the psychology behind it all. Excitement is good, delays are frustrating and not knowing nearly kills us. Dramatic yes, but it all describes the rollercoaster when you're riding in the front seat... and loving it.

Here is our gorgeous wreath on our front fence - thank you Phyl!!!!

A bit closer...
River loves it too - believe it or not he did this all himself!!!! Our little family can all tell the moment a tradition is born xx
