We have moved house

On 3rd August we moved house from Engadine
to Balgownie, in North Wollongong
 
 
We have been in our new house for seven weeks. We all love it. It has an outside deck and swimming pool
 
 


It has a great play area in the back yard.
 
Two weeks ago Jacob managed to climb up the ladder on his own. He was so happy with himself!
 
 
Why did we move to a different area?
 
1. Samuel and Jacob's dad works in North Wollongong. Now we live there he doesn't have to travel as far to work.  This means we get to see more of him which makes us all very happy.
 
2. Our house in Engadine had lots of steps and stairs which meant it was difficult for Jacob to move around and get to other rooms on his own.  Our new house only has steps at the front and down to the swimming pool. Jacob is now able to walk in his frame all over the house on his own.  This means he can move around when and where he wants to without having to ask anyone to help him.
 
3.   Samuel and Jacob have two younger brothers, Alex (5years) and Lucas (3years).  Alex has something called autism and he needs extra help with his learning.  We found a special school for Alex in North Wollongong which helps children who have autism.  There are only 6 children in Alex's class and 3 teachers.  This means Alex can get the extra help he needs so he can learn all the things you've been learning this year at school.  He started at this school at the beginning of term 3.  He is doing really well and is very happy there.
 
Samuel and Jacob look forward to keeping in contact with you by regularly posting on this blog things that they are doing.  Please write a comment to let them know you are reading.  They would love to hear from you.
