So the date is set...

We now have a date! After months of paperwork, visas, babies, delays and general waiting, we now have a date to move! We'll be on our way on January 28th. Now that the paperwork is all in order, there are a million things to do, not least find somewhere to live!

We're in the process of finding someone to let the house in the UK and I'll be back in California for a week before Christmas to (hopefully) find a house in California. We've already been looking online and have narrowed down the neighbourhoods in which we are looking: it will either be Campbell, Cambrian or Willow Glen, all of which just are South West of San Jose (view map).

Kate, Louis & I all have our passports and visas done, and so we are just waiting for Chloe's documents to be complete. She is now the proud owner of a birth certificate & British passport, and we are awaiting her US visa to come back from the US Embassy in London. With a bit of luck, it will arrive back before Christmas.
