settling
we have been living in our new home in helsinki for two weeks now. the few weeks around moving were very hard, it is now wonderful to be here at home. and have almost everything just where it should be. the first week went running, just trying to make paths where to walk and trying to find the right box to find the thing thats missing. some things just remain missing, that happens in every move i guess. this week went, for me, mostly crying. i got a really ugly infection in my right ear after an afternoon swimming a week ago. the pain was unbelievable and just when it started feeling better my left ear decided to do the same. well, happily not as extremely as the other ear but any way. a very painful week. now im finally starting to feel normal again.
starting a life in a new home in a "new" place takes a lot from me. although this is the most familiar place for me and i know almost every corner of this part of the town everything is still new. it takes a few weeks before the visit at the park or the grocery store doesnt take any extra energy from me. im almost there now, but there are still many more a bit tired days to come. jaakko is already studying for his first exam, getting used to the idea of him really becoming a helicopter pilot. flying in a few weeks, huuuiii!
but all in all, this is definitely the best place for us now. the own little garden has given us so much already in these two weeks that i dont think i can ever be without one anymore. tilda and maisa are settled, they sleep well and tilda loves just about everything, having stairs inside our home, seeing the sandpit right when she goes outside, being able to go there without us, seeing mummi & ukki almost everyday and having such a short walk to their home... im so happy! even maisas problems with diapers are all forgotten. it was the new laundry detergent that made her skin brake, not the wet diapers! we are happily back using only cloth diapers.
