Germany Part II

After leaving MO we headed to Atlanta, GA for our first leg of the trip.  There we spent a night and then left Georgia for Germany.  The flight from MO to GA was uneventful as was the flight from GA to Germany.  We were so thankful the boys behaved and weren't too frustrated by being confined to their seats.

Of course there were little "issues" once we got here in Germany, but overall God has for sure been with us and helping us as we are adjusting.  It's very different here in Stuttgart than when we were in Ramstein.  Of course having TWO boys is one of the biggest differences.

We got our van pretty quickly after getting our licenses, so that's been nice.  We've taken a road trip up to Ramstein already and got to hang out with some wonderful friends (Jan, Ginger and kiddos).  It was nice to get to spend a couple of days with them.  Such dear friends and wonderful to catch up with them.

We are in our apartment.  It's way smaller than our house back in COS, but it's bigger than our last place at Ramstein.  We are anxious to get the rest of our stuff so we can really make this feel like home.

The weather here has been great (warm and cooler days), so we've spent LOTS of time at the various parks all around.  Gregory has found kids to play with most everywhere we've gone, although, he does realize they aren't his "friends".  So that has been hard for him with being as social as he is.  He misses his wonderful friends from Colorado for sure.   

Another big thing for us since getting to Germany is Gregory has started preschool two days a week.  He has gone two times so far and is loving every minute of it.  The main reason for him going isn't for him to learn tons, but to learn to listen in a structured classroom setting AND to learn some while he's there.  Kindergarten will be here before we all know it (a year from now!). 

So there we have it, I'm closer to caught up!  Next up will be to get some pics of our new place online, but for that we'll wait until all of our stuff is here..in a few weeks.
