The first 2 months

I think we managed to settle down.

In retrospective, the first month was the most difficult one. We had a lot of paperwork, and the small apartment downtown was not too convenient with kids. We did not have a lot of toys, and the space was a bit too small for them. Luckily, Kriszta found that playground nearby.

After we got the new place, everything seemed to go smoothly. It took a week until we could assemble everything that we bought in Ikea. Okay, there are some things missing still, like curtains and some more furniture. But overall, it looks like a place to live :) In contrast to the downtown apartment, I have the feeling that I go "home" after work.

Our kids seem to love it a lot more too. They were sick a little bit, but except 1-1 day it did not influence their mood. Of course, now they have their own bed, own toys and everything. We left many of them at home, but the count of toys here started increasing at an unbelievable pace already :) Lola can express herself more and more. The cutest thing is that instead of the obligatory "no" she keeps shaking her head. "Wanna drink?" - headshaking, "Come here" - headshaking, etc. No answer usually means "yes" :) Noemi likes to go to the Hungarian daycare very much. I think she starts to find her own friends. They both like the playground in front of the new place, we cannot get Lola away from the swing :)

And about work? Last week I already had the feeling that I am working on something. Tasks coming after each other, sometimes 2-3 at once. When I changed something, it is often only the next day when it turned out if it worked or not. Any case, it feels like a real job - and I start to see how the puzzle pieces fit together. I already wrote a small program, about 100 lines of code that is a utility for others too. So I feel useful - at the beginning it seemed that this would need more time.

We start to find our rythm - if you happen to be in Zürich, just visit us!
