Moving

My blogging will be limited for a little while since we moved to our new house over the weekend. We still have our apartment until August 15th so I'm sitting in an empty apartment with our laptop now while the girls are around the corner at Czech lessons. I'm not sure how long it will take us to get internet set up at the new house but since this is Czech, I won't be holding my breath. Anyway, The move went great. The movers came and packed up our entire apartment Saturday in four hours! They came back on Sunday and started loading the truck. The men were amazing. They would carry 6 boxes at a time down from the third floor strapped to their backs. I was shocked when I saw one man carrying our big livingroom chair by himself and another man carrying Sofia's bureau by himself. They had our apartment empty in three hours! They took a lunch break and then showed up at the new house. The unloading was a little trickier since they had to figure out how to get our furniture in the house. They ended up having to bring our beds and bureaus over the balcony since the stairs were too narrow. As I watched one man holding the balcony by one hand and pulling the mattress up with the other I couldn't help but think, "no OSHA regulations here!". They had everything moved into the house in 2 1/2 hours. We have started the tedious task of unpacking but it is a slow process. Luckily we have a covered patio to put all the empty boxes, paper and bubble wrap to get them out of the way. There is just something gratifying about moving empty boxes out of the house. Once we have internet at the house I will post pictures.
