End of Week Two ...

Its been two weeks since we arrived in Nelson. Has definitely been quite interesting and we seem to be getting back into our regular groove. As reported previously, we did purchase a car. The kids like their new school a lot, maya is sad that she cannot goto school on weekends!. We've started taking the kids swimming at the local pool.

The last big item on the agenda is finding a place to live for the next 9 months. Surprisingly its been a bit harder to find a place than I expected. Hopefully we'll get this sorted out in the next week or two. I've got a pretty sweet office space on the top floor of the house, and the DSL connection is quite zippy. Did a fair amount of work (and blogging) this week, and hoping to be a bit more efficient and productive from next week onwards

In other news, Cecile is coming to visit us starting Dec 27th. The kids were happy to learn that she's coming and maya is excited to show Cecile her new school. Its been interesting being on our own the past few weeks. Life is definitely harder than it was in San Francisco, but not as hard as I imagined it would be. The kids have summer vacation from Dec 20th - Jan 25th. Will definitely help to have Cecile around during that time :)
