The transportation isn't a big deal, she's keeping her current job and will be taking the kids and picking them up every day anyways, so the plan is to provide transportation to their fathers already. From her current residence to her work is about 20 minutes so we're talking about a grand total of about 40 minutes every day (20 minutes longer each way).
The gas isn't that big of a deal either - I already drive 360 miles every round trip every other weekend (in the opposite directin) to pick up and return my daughter from a previous marriage.
It's not just a house though, we also like the area where I live. There's a lot to be said about location when you're talking about where you have to live.
