I would encourage you and your wife to find a local summer program for each of your young children...maybe a day camp for your older child, a play group for your little one. Moving is stressful, both in its mechanics and in the aftermath, when you inevitably feel lonely and uprooted. Meeting other parents through an organized children's program is the best way I know to find your way into a new community and begin to grow a group of supportive friends, which doubtless will help you all, and especially your wife. Good luck with all your new undertakings!
