A dream coming true??

I'm so excited. Our friends Jim & Kellie might be moving to Houston and they wanted to know if we would be interested in buying a beach house in Galveston with them! They have two job offers and they'll either be in Houston or Chicago and they're trying to weigh it all up now. Having a beach house would definitely be one in the 'pro' column for Houston. Kellie and I have been scouring realtor websites and talking about furniture and decorating. It will be very cool if it happens.

Ever since Toby was born I've wanted to be able to spend 'real' time in the US. Not just vacation time, but real time living an American life. I want for it to all be normal to Tobes and not some novelty item in his heritage. J and I have talked about a holiday home for years and this could be a great solution. It's going to be interesting to see how it all pans out.

We had a nice weekend. Went to the mall and movies on Saturday, then went out to Blackheath to look around and have lunch on Sunday before going to one of Toby's friend's birthday party. We exchanged Valentine cards and chocs on Sunday too and Tobes was on the sugar roller coaster all day. Such a nightmare. We really should know better. Today is a No Sugar day. Gotta try to detox the kiddo a little bit.
