School Starts!

There is no rest for the weary.  We had to get up bright and early this morning to start our new routine. M started her Praktikum at the Kindergarten Arche Noah.  Unfortunately, she isn’t around people her age but it was a good day none the less.  D, A, and S started school this morning.  They all went into this bravely awaiting their fate.  And it went well for them.  D was quickly greeted by a group of boys that were excited to learn he was American.  One boy, Eddy, is from England and is happy to get to speak a bit of English with D.  A has also made friends in her class and was quick to rattle off a few names.  We were most concerned about S because his German isn’t good (yet).  But, God is so good.  He answered S’ prayers with Arianna, an American from Wisconsin, who is in his class.  She was his partner today and helped translate for him.  Such a blessing!  So – Day 1 was a success!

Hubby and I hit the grocery store while the kids were at school.  I love all the different food items to buy – it took lots of will power to not put one of everything in the cart!  On the menu for today – Frikadellen, Laugenbrot, und Gurken for lunch and Maultaschen mit Kartoffelsalat for dinner.
