We've officially moved into our new home. We arrived on Thursday afternoon with close to 150 boxes. As of Saturday night, everything has been unpacked and put away. Not bad for three days. All the pictures have been hung up and it feels as if we've lived here for the past year. Strange how quickly we settled in.Matthew's been enjoying the ammenities. He's been bike riding, hanging out at the club house, swimming and finding his way around the grounds. I give him about a week and he'll be good to go with new friends.
He's been a good sport about going to the gate to pick up the school bus to Pudong. To ensure that he arrives on time, he takes his scooter in the morning and rides down to the gatehouse. There are quite a few kids who live on this side that commute all the way to Pudong. He'll be transferring so this commute routine will be a thing of the past.
Ina and her family came today by to see the new crib. We grabbed lunch at the club house and then the kids went to the pool while we hung out on the deck. They found their way back and even played catch and soccer. That's something that Matthew hasn't done in a very long time in the comfort of his own home. Watching the kids play, reminded me of our back yard in Connecticut. Now all we need is to buy a grill and then we're all set.
Now that everything has found a place, we'll be getting ready for our trip home soon. I just have to start the packing process soon.
