A quick update

House hunting went well. There were 4 properties that interest me. Any of them will work, each have their own good and bad points. I was able to spend a little time with the Parrish and Sahota's and their friend Christina.

We will have to wait until our house gets an offer before we put an offer on one of them. Or, there may be another house that will come onto the market and blow all the others out of the water!



Back at home, Ryan has applied to a grade 2 position at a private school in north Nanaimo/Lantzville. Please pray that this will work out well.

Ethan has been helping around the house, cutting grass with Ryan and doing odd jobs. We have noticed him rubbing his eyes and sniffing quite a bit. His eyes get red and puffy and he says they itch. It sounds like he has some environmental allergies. Tonight, he went into the bathroom, got a bunch of lotion, and rubbed it in his eyes! His rationale was that when his skin is itchy, we put lotion on it, so lotion should help his eyes too! Yikes! He does better with Benadryl, so I'm pretty sure he has Hay Fever.


Evelyn has been great at helping keep the house clean. She sorted the laundry without me asking her, and happily cleaned both her room AND Ethan's room. She is going to be singing a song in Lac La Biche tomorrow night, and in early June she will be a Mermaid in the schools production of Peter Pan.

The kids had 'camp out's' in their rooms last week. They made forts in their rooms and Evelyn actually slept all night in hers. Ethan kept kicking his and then it would fall in. Eventually, he gave up and went to bed.








#1 is actually 4 bedrooms and a bunch of small rooms in the basement. (the listing says 8 bedrooms) They have done a lot of work on the structure of the house, but there is a bit left to do. It is close to the hospital. Evergreen Way.

#2 is completely done inside, is a short walk to Departure Bay beach, and has a cool rock wall in the back yard that looks like it would be fun to climb. This house needs new windows. King Richard Drive.

#3 is also completely done inside, is close to all the malls in the north, and, if Ryan gets that grade 2 position, it would be close to that school too. It has a nice back yard, granite counters in the kitchen, and it needs the roof to be re-shingled. Doreen Place.

#4 is in a nice neighbourhood, has a great, bright kitchen and a massive amount of space in the basement. It needs quite a bit done in the basement, and the upstairs bedrooms and closets are tiny. This was my favorite house until I really thought about how much needed to be done. Now, I just like it. Hillside Ave.
