Things here are going well. We have found a place to rent, and should be able to move in on the 15th if all of the paperwork gets done. I guess. Don't really understand the process completely. It's a nice little place off the back of our landlord's house, 2 bedroom,1 bath. The place is a bit smaller than I'd like, but I think we can make it work. What we really like about it is the landlord's property which is huge, and we are allowed to use all of it! Lots of space for the dogs to run, and eventually, for Alex as well. It is a bit far from the base, about a 25 minute drive, but we're willing to trade the drive for the huge yard. Yards are pretty hard to come by in rental houses here, and we just don't want to live in a place where we have to take the dogs out on leashes several times a day. So we'll see how it works out for the next year of our lease.
Jr starts work tomorrow. We just found that out this morning, and he's not even completely in processed to the base yet. Love how that works.
We went to a festival yeterday with the Rileys. Kinda like a small fair. Had a fun time trying German foods, listening to live music, playing games and taking the kiddies on rides. Jr has been wanting another crepe all day today! Here's a pic of Alex cracking up while he played with a blow up hammer that Jr won. Alex had a great time and was mesmerized by all of the lights and music.
Jr and I were Super Excited today! Alex did his first sign. He signed "more" for more bread at lunch! WooHoo! We've been working on that for about 7 months. Hopefully some of the other signs we've been working on will catch on soon too. Well, that's about it for us here. Hope that you are all doing well. Be sure to email or comment or myspace or something so that we can keep in touch.
Love from,

I'm glad you found a place, and especially one that accommodates the dogs. I love the picture of Alex laughing. We miss you guys so much already!
ReplyDeleteExcllent to hear your update. Things sound like they are progressing nicely and glad to hear about the place with the large yard. Really enjoyed all of the pictures too. Has all of your stuff arrived? Are you able to access it? What about your car?
ReplyDeleteWondering about the dogs too. How are they making the adjustment?
All is well here. love to visit with Melissa and baby Deegan. We went over last Friday for the evening. (I say we, because mom and Doug are visiting for a few weeks.)
One more week of summer school and then I am totally free. No real summer plans, just relaxing and hopefully some fishing. Hey, there is a chance that I am taking some kids on another trip to Slovenia this coming November. We will spend a few other days in another country. Maybe Germany, if so, we should try to connect. What is the largest city you are near? what town do you live in? Where is the base. I will look it up.
