Hi all - so as promised more funny stories....I have to still learn how to post the picture thing, work in progress.
After arriving everyone was exausted so we took a small nap and ventured to the market. For those of you coming to visit, Germany is not a credit card country so bring lots of cash. I of course should have taken my own advice and changed out my money at the airport while I waited for Kevin for 3 hours but of I didn't. So we are at the market and putting everything in our carts that looks or smells good but we realize we don't have the funds to pay for it all. Some things went back on the shelves and we learned a great lesson;)
The girls had a really hard time adjusting to the time change so on Saturday night they both were up all night crying and in and out of our bed. Jack came down to wake us up on Suday morning it was really Sunday afternoon---it was 12noon we all had slept in!!!! I can't remember ever sleeping that late;)
The babies are doing great, they love the yard and all the different rooms in the house. I feel like Jack has grown up so fast in a week---he is taking care of all of us. He is constantly yelling at me to put that down mama it is too heavy for your hernia... (with his little accent though). And Stella is discovering herself. She has decided she likes sleeping in Jack's room better so now she wants to share a room with him not Sydney (she says Jack keeps her safe and makes her bad dreams go away---how cute is that). And Syd the kid, well I am not sure if she is speaking English or Germany but she is speaking something. She is constantly talking and trying to talk louder then Jack & Stella--oh how our neighbors must love us. As you know when you would call the house how loud it was in the background--well multiply that by 1000 because we don't have carpet or a lot of furniture so everything eco's..
Things I miss right now besides all of you are DIET COKE, HAZEL NUT COFFEE CREAM and ICE......funny I know but you all are laughing right now!
Love you all-pleasant dreams...I am starting my day (GOOD MORGAN!!--just a little german for you)
BTW you can call us on our same number 586-992-1034 (for those of you that have Vontage we will talk free, nice)
Love The VanHowe's
