We are still here---sorry it has been so long!

Hello all –
I am sure by now all of you probably think we have fallen into some dark Germany crack and can’t get out—not the case just a bit busy. So let’s recap:
- The kids are doing great in school. They are learning all kinds of fun things. Every day on our way home there is a shouting match in the car to see who can tell me the loudest and first of the fun things they did that day.
- The Hot Lunch – is always a big topic. At first, Jack and Stella were excited to eat in the cafeteria with all the great German food. Not so much the case anymore. They don’t have syrup for their pancakes (they dip in applesauce—yuk!) All they have is “cow milk” – yuk! So now I pack a cold lunch – so far so good!
- Stella was invited to her fist birthday party. It was great, expect for the fact nobody was speaking English. So after 20 minutes of playing with all the kids on the grass the moms decided I was OK and they then starting talking to me. I tell what though you’ve got to love a birthday party that has Champignon to drink for the adults
- My mom came for her visit. It was great she was the biggest help. She arrived the same day as our sea container. A bit crazy but we made it!!! To all that come for a visit take note- she brought with her Jack’s Salsa, Vince & Joe’s Mexicali dip and Fat Free Hazel Nut Cream 
- Because I have so many more funny stories to share - I will save them until another blog. I just wanted to say hi and love and miss you all so very much!!!!!
