We are in a wonderful and quiet area called Ohope. We are able to rent a house for 2.5 months and live by the BEACH! Yippeee! We are feeling oh so blessed by this house, the yard, the comfy beds and space! Ellie has her own room and Meg & Luke have a view of the ocean from their room! WOW. This place is more than we could have hoped for! We are excited to be here until Christmas too!
We are not too sure about the kids being able to go to school here as the school here is so full they moved their library into the hallway! We'll ask anyway and see! The kids have been working hard on their school work these days- it is easy to do when the weather is rainy and staying inside is best! We are still cold most mornings and need a little fire in the wood stove here, but once the sun comes out the laundry can dry faster than the dryer!
The other big news about this house- WE HAVE A PIANO HERE! The family that we are renting from could not see how Ellie should go a whole 2 months without a piano- so they bought a used one and brought it here! They have a few pianos already so they do love these instruments! Ellie has been on the piano every day and once I get some music for Meg and Luke they will start again too! I have enjoyed a piece or two myself!
So we are good and comfy where we are for now! We plan to homeschool a few days each week and go on trips to locals areas to see the sights. We'll post photos as able!
We also found a church in Whakantane area that we enjoyed. Feels a little like home- but I do miss my mom every time I walk along the beach and wish that she was with us! Just like every golf course that I see I wish my dad could play on!
Love to all at home!
