The best news of the week is the arrival of two babies, but that’s not my news to share so I’ll write about our move.
On January 29th our thinking changed and instead of planning to moving in the summer to Lucerne for Stephan’s new job with Swiss Steel we decided to move in March.
On the 31st we handed in our notice that we were leaving our current apartment.
On February 3rd we started visiting apartments in the Lucerne area and the next day we visited the place that would become ours. We visited it again on the 7th and signed the contract for it on the 10th.
The move is scheduled for March 1st and 2nd and we fly to Ireland for a friend’s wedding on the 5th. Life is just a little crazy with so much happening so quickly and a little one still needing love and attention, but we hope the earlier move will mean a peaceful household sooner rather than later! It’s been a little stressful, but we had a wonderful weekend off at BCF’s annual winter retreat in Lungern February 18-20. Joseph was at a great age for the trip since he could crawl around and discover the world inside without feeling cooped up. He was very social, staying up until 10 or 11 and then sleeping in until 8 or 9!
Joseph also likes to play “peek-a-boo” and can lift an object in front of his own face to play it. His favorite way to play it is to hide behind something, or to be standing behind something so he can duck his head a little and then peek back over the edge. We have a cute video of him playing this with his Daddy in Swiss German. Videos will come, but Daddy’s trying to pack for the move, too . . .
