Are we there yet?

OK, kids. Listen up. It is not wise to move overseas when you have a 3 month old, your husband is working 12-14 hour days, and you have no help!

The movers should arrive any minute now to pack up all our stuff. It sounds great, but it's actually much more difficult to prepare for a move when you can't organize all your belongings in boxes. We are not allowed to pack a single box ourselves or all of our things will get held up in customs.

Right now everything we own is divided into three categories- coming with us on the plane (a whopping 5 suitcases), air ship (which will arrive in about 2 weeks), and boat ship (which will arrive in 4-6 weeks).

Our house won't be ready for move-in until July 3, so we'll be staying in temporary corporate housing until then. The temporary apartment is right near Lee's apartment from a few years ago. We'll be right by our favorite farmer's market and Brick Lane (known for its amazing Indian cuisine), so we will spend the first few weeks eating our way through London.

Well, the buzzer is ringing so I need to go, but I promise to make another update before we leave on Saturday. In the meantime, here's some Caleb awesomeness.



So handsome in his monkey hoodie




Smile!




And a family photo for the heck of it...
