3 boys 15,7,4 and a girl of 8
Don't have a clue where we are going to stay just yet, as we were hoping to come out without the kids a few weeks earlier to sort out the rented house, buy a car etc etc, but a little problem of the CO requesting a HIV test for the eldest has changed our plans, so I think its turn up clueless living out of suitcases to start :)
