Our very first Chantal n Peter blog

Hello, and welcome to our blog, specifically and solely created to keep in touch with friends who have moved to the UK. I will make an effort to actually use this space and not have it sit idly by. Our lives a fairly hectic at the moment. Peter and I are getting married on Sunday afternoon (14/01/07) that's 6 sleeps! We are also moving on the Friday before hand, very exciting and a tad insane given the timing. Perhaps the most exciting of all is that we are expecting a baby in June. I'm 17 weeks or there abouts now and keenly awaiting to feel the baby move.

We have three children so this will be our fourth. Our eldest child is Caleb who is 10, turning 11 on Valentine's day. Caleb is currently preparing to enter as a year six to a composite 6/7 class. Our second child is Abraham who is five, turning six in early March. Abraham will be in a reception class this year. Our present youngest is Rani who just celebrated her fourth birthday in the latter part of November. She is eagerly waiting to start full-time kindergarten later this month.

I am taking this year off and probably the next from my current studies in Archaeology, I am pursuing my studies at the Honours level, with my specific area of interest being Pacific Archaeology. Peter is currently completing his PhD for the History department. His thesis focuses on the extra-judicial activities of particular Judges during the Second World War. When I can't sleep I initiate conversation on the details, but unfortunately cannot expand upon the content as the discussion promptly puts me to sleep and I miss nearly every word.
