Thoughts on Moving


We have successfully "shifted house" as the Kiwis put it and I can say to sum up the experience, "Are we insane?" Moving with two small children is truly a challenge.

Highlights of the adventure include:
  • The moving truck breaking down the day we were suppose to move
  • Unpacking all the bedding and remaking all the beds so we could stay another night in our house
  • The moving company leaving the bikes, skis and a whole range of other odds and ends in the garage
  • Josh waking up 5 times and Ben getting up and into our bed twice on our first night in our new house, then Ben demanding to eat breakfast at 5:45am the next morning
  • Dan and Gareth moving a winter's worth of firewood
  • Shoveling an entire sandbox full of sand into a trailer (envision Dan with one shovel, Ben supervising and me with another shovel and Josh in the backpack)
  • Cleaning an entire kitchen with Josh in the exersaucer
  • Our new house being a sea of boxes
So, we've survived... who knows when we'll be unpacked and settled?
