Bestest BudsSean will have another week (or two? I can't remember) of work left, but Aiden and I will be heading back up state on Friday. Brooklyn has been a lot of fun, but I have to say I'm pretty eager to be closer to our families, in a house with a big yard for Aiden. Moving down here was one of the most stressful experiences I've had since, oh I don't know, giving birth and taking a Business Law final three days later. It took us FOREVER to find an apartment, which involved weeks of phonecalls and emails and a six hour wait in traffic on Manhatten the night before Thanksgiving. We moved in the week between Christmas and New Years, and the experience was...eye opening.
Our time down here has been a lot of fun, and the distance from our families has been both hard, and liberating. We've gotten a lot closer as a couple and as a family, and the time on our own has really made us feel more confident as parents. That being said, I am SO NOT EXCITED about going through the whole moving process again. Did I mention that when Sean is finished with work he'll be heading to Boston for school? So, once again Aiden and I are facing a few more months on our own until he graduates. We've done this once (last summer) so I know we can do it, and I think it'll be easier with Aiden being a little older, but we're going to miss him like crazy and look foward to the weekend visits.
Bring on the packing...So...our last week begins. We're going to try and stay relaxed as we begin the big process all over again and hopefully it will go smoothly. Wish us luck!

Packing - gross. :) Good luck with everything!
That's got to be the worst part of moving...the packing and the unpacking, though it's always exciting to start over in a new place!!
It's funny that you mention how being apart from extended family has made you more confident in your parenting skills! I always say that to people who asked if I had a lot of help in the beginning when each set of twins were born. I didn't have any help, actually, except for my husband, but I think that was good for us because it taught me to be self-sufficient and more confident. If I had helped, I think I would've really been struggling once all the help went away, kwim?
Hope your move goes smoothly!
