"Hikkoshimashita."

We've moved.

We got the "packing without unpacking" package for our move. That is, the movers packed everything like the china and the books and whatnot, hauled everything to the new house, and left after putting all the furniture where it belonged and unloading all the boxes. I think we've opened (but not quite unpacked) about 1/3 of the boxes, which is not too shabby. We'll have Golden Week to deal with the rest.

The house is very, very large and seems to have too many doors, but I expect I'll get used to it eventually. The Pumpkin Princess's new favorite pastime is running around in circles through the hall and the living room.

Yes, the girl runs now. We are very, very afraid.
