Our New house

We have successfully moved into our new house here in Germany! It is a three bedroom, 1 1/2 bath duplex. (Sounds familiar doesn't it? But this one has a carport!)

We've put our things in, but the boxes aren't unpacked yet. We built our dining room table, and four chairs that we got from Ikea. Chris is working on building our beds this week, and we're going to work on building the kitchen by the weekend.

The kids are sharing a room, and loving it. They've had no choice for the past few months, and have grown to expecting each other in the room, so they want to keep sharing. Really, Brady and Keira are growing into "best friends" as Keira put it.

This week, Brady also went to his first birthday party, and when he finished he said "It was all GIRLS!" Because he was the only boy. He had a great time, spoke German and played with his friends from school.

Keira is blossoming with German! She is taking to having full conversations with Heather, Julia, and anyone who'll respond in German. Brady is still taking it all in, and tries a word here and there.

The next couple weeks will be hard work in the evenings, trying to get everything together before Christmas, but hopefully the 2 week break will be relaxing. I'll post pictures of the house ASAP.
