It has now been two months since we moved and I thought maybe it's time to look back and reflect a bit.
Time has flown by and not at the same time. The kids settled into our rental house really quickly and so did we. It's a great wee wooden cabin in a quiet and family friendly community. The house is perfect for us right now but we are hoping to one day own a house again.
Lance loves being outside playing, the garden is fenced off so I can just watch him through the windows if I need to go in and get dinner ready. That was definitely something we were missing at our old house. The garden wasn't safe for children to play in.
He's been given a place at nursery so he'll start in 3 weeks. 15 hours a week. Will be great for him and will give me and Skye some quality time together. Lance loved his playgroup in Scotland so I'm hoping he will settle in just as well here.
So the every day life has been a smooth transition and the kids have adapted great. It's the paperwork and registration into the system that seems to be taking forever. Dealing with governments are a complete nightmare and nobody seems to know what you need just what you don't need and that they are definitely the wrong person to help. So I've been passed around departments for months trying to figure out what it is I need to ask for. I eventually had a breakthrough on Monday after 2 hours on the phone. But the paperwork I need will take 9 weeks to issue. So another few months to go.
In the meantime I'll focus on the kids and we also have a holiday to menorca coming up, which we are all looking forward to.
We are just back from a week in the mountains where we've been skiing and boarding and enjoyed some family time in the snow.
Tonight it's time for some me time. A two hour yoga class that will hopefully help relieve some stress and tension. I'm really looking forward to it.
Over and out!
Xx
