We made it...and now have internet

Sorry about the lack of communication over this past week. Yes, we made it to Weimar and the trip went quite smoothly considering having two littles and bringing everything we own in seven checked bags. We're working on a longer post but wanted to let you know that everything is fine. Our new home is quite small. Two bedrooms and an entrance that serves as a kitchen/dining room/office, and then a small bathroom off our room. Let's just say that things are a bit cramped. But it's cheap and we have beds to sleep in. The manager even provided an old European pack'n'play for Holly. Unfortunately, it is retired hotel that is being converted into apartments, so because of the remodel, things like hot water and Internet have been a little sketchy. That is why we're a little behind in updates.

This week we've been focusing on getting the proper paperwork filled out (first insurance, then registering our address, then opening a bank account, then applying for a work visa). I wasn't quite able to get through the whole process because you need a translator for almost every part (except the bank) and Friday was the translator's day off.

We met one of the other teachers and her husband and they have two boys, ages 3 and 1. They were a huge answered prayer on Thursday when we thought we were going to go stir crazy.

Today Heather made dinner at home and we were able to sit down around a table to eat dinner at a table for the first time since we left. What a difference that made! We're still working through some time change difficulties with the kids. Children should be asleep before midnight thank you very much! Thank you to those who have been praying for us. More on our move to Weimar to follow.
