Jason and Sarah McDonald

This is our humble abode! We have a great patch of land in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. This is a very small shoe box that fit us perfectly when it was just the three of us but now there is five, it's getting a bit tight. We have great plans to renovate and extend the house to accommodate our needs but we're not in a hurry. We have already begun renovating the kitchen and bathroom but that's another time. Brooklyn's school is 500 metres right around the corner so we walk everyday.

Our land is just beautiful. Jason absolutely loves his greenhouse and can be found all the time outside taking extra care of his vegtables. We're also going to have a regular fruit salad this season from our trees. Jason's got apples, peaches, pears, lemons, grapefruit, manderins, kiwifruit, plums and grapes all growing well in the backyard. My roses are doing very well in the front yard and I love them dearly but they never provoke the same amazement somehow. I'll post some photos when they are all in full bloom, next couple of months.

As you can see Jacob just follows Jason around all the time and has his own diggin patch right next to daddys. He's going to be a keen gardener. We are hoping to add chickens to our list by christmas but we'll see. Our home teachers have chickens and have given us lots of advice. His fresh eggs are always great. So hoping that will be our pet project over christmas.
