The First of a Few Updates

It has been a long (long, long!) time since I posted anything here. I honestly didn't realise how long it had been. So much has happened and there are a lot of changes, both in terms of our lives and our hearts. 

Most of our friends should already know, but we are currently 37 days (who is counting though right?) away from moving from Singapore to Tasmania, Australia. 

I will be 6 weeks short of having lived in Singapore for 11 years. My husband has never lived overseas before and besides small trips to nearby and quite similar countries, my two sons have never been anywhere. Our eldest was in Australia when he was 18 months old and I was pregnant with our second, but he doesn't remember it at all. 

I have never been to Tasmania at all. It has been such a God-led journey getting us to this point. 

We first heard a word to go there in June 2018, just last year. Up until that point, I had no thoughts or considerations in that direction. It wasn't even on my radar. And yet piece by piece, every little thing has fallen into place. 

We will be moving to a 200 acre community farm. We will have our own home on the property, but will be involved with the other families every day in different ways. This is such a wonderful opportunity, especially for our kids...

Which brings me to our other important news. I am currently four days 'over due' to have our third baby. As I don't really put much belief in due dates exactly, and both my boys were more than a week 'late' we are just sitting tight and waiting for this little one to come when he or she is ready. We don't find out the gender so it will be a nice surprise to see if we have another son to add to the tribe or our first daughter.
