Well, the first part of our move to Toronto is over. We are in Guelph (staying with Bill and Mary) until January 5th when we move into the house we are renting in Toronto. Quite a few people have been asking how the move went. Here goes:
Movers came to our house to pack our belongings last Saturday. This was also the day I sort of came out of denial about the move. This was a good thing since we were leaving the next day. It was a hectic day, but we managed to get most stuff done (my mother and Kelly will probably not agree with that statement).
Daren and I, and the boys flew to Toronto on Sunday afternoon. Since all of our boys are still under 2, we needed a third person to fly with us (AC has a 1 infant per adult rule). Daren's former co-worker Phil (aka the baby whisperer) was flying to Toronto anyway, so he agreed to take Jack on his lap. Many thanks to Phil!!!
The boys were great during the flight. Jack fell asleep on Phil's lap before takeoff, and Callum had a great nap once we were in the air. I had a wonderful seatmate who let Callum lay his head in her lap for over an hour while he slept.
We arrived in Toronto with our 3 babies, 7 very large pieces of luggage and 3 carry-on bags, rented a van and drove to Guelph.
In 4 short days we have managed to completely clutter up Grandma and Grandpa Smith's house with toys, but they don't seem to mind at all. The boys are adjusting well to their new environment and are venturing further away from me every day.
Thanks to everyone who helped us with this move. We couldn't have done it without you!
