Moving again. This time from one Kanton to another within Switzerland.

I am glad we are not going to have more babies. So far every single time our babies turned 6-7 months old we moved to another place.

At first I thought it was hard to pack up and move with one child, even though it was only 10 miles away. But then our second was 7 months old when we moved from the UK to Switzerland. Now our third is 6 months old and we are packing up again.

But this time for good. I feel that this move is our last. And that we can finally settle down and relax.

How do I know?

I don’t really… it’s a feeling. Hubby and I speak the local language. My husband’s family speaks the local language and my parents will learn it quickly with our help. Our oldest son is very excited to learn Italian so he can speak with his cousins finally. Our two younger doesn’t yet speak, so they will learn to speak Italian as their first language.

Bureaucracy

The process of moving from one Kanton to another, as a foreign national on ‘B permit’, seems more complicated than moving to Switzerland from abroad as an EU national.

The amount of registration / de-registration and change of documents required is mind-boggling. But this is a story for another time.

Ticino! We cannot wait to call you home!

Here are some of the pictures from the past few weeks.
