<br />
<b>The Good</b><br />
We speak German!<br />
Made amazing friends<br />
Got to live, eat, breathe Germany for 3 years<br />
Martin had a great job <br />
The places we did visit were beautiful <br />
Had a few lovely visitors Maggie, Nana & Poppi, Mom, Denise and Paul<br />
<br />
<b>The Bad</b><br />
The kids are a bit rusty in English writing skills<br />
I still can't read all of the school papers, which is aggravating<br />
The house had virtually no real yard, I miss having grass<br />
It's not as fun to travel as I thought it would be, especially with 4 kids<br />
It is so easy to loose touch with people.<br />
No one ever calls (Well actually 2 people do, you know who you are)<br />
Many talked about coming to visit, few made it over<br />
<br />
<b>What I have Learned?</b><br />
How to ask for help<br />
What it's like to be an alien in a foreign country<br />
There are still places in the world where children can come home when it's dark outnest4everhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532345429709620487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480410146022244457.post-75060042486195692832012-11-02T21:16:00.002+01:002012-11-02T21:16:26.058+01:00Wordless Wednesday<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

All of the Colorado cousins were treated by Grandma and Aunty Denise to Batman Live. It was a great production, filled with acrobats, costumes, magic tricks and the beloved Batman. <br />

We all really enjoyed watching the performance together.<br />
<br />

Some were a more vocal about their excitement than others.....<br />

This is Walter, the giver of tea. The neighbor who played the accordion out his window, and who also asked if I would give him a message. We shared Easter dinner together, and he gave Martin his first German beer. I shoveled the sidewalk for him when it snowed, and sometimes he came over past 9 pm to see if I might want a velvet painting from 1970, a TV, or maybe a radio. All for a good price. I will miss Walter, and I know he will miss us.nest4everhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532345429709620487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480410146022244457.post-35500177738450953982012-10-15T14:45:00.001+02:002012-10-15T14:45:27.040+02:00I Won't Miss You<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-skoCpCzd-Yk/UHv6QEZmanI/AAAAAAAACb4/Olh8OGTJibk/s1600/IMG_0421.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-skoCpCzd-Yk/UHv6QEZmanI/AAAAAAAACb4/Olh8OGTJibk/s200/IMG_0421.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--sbxcjNEQQk/UHv4tQ3fSKI/AAAAAAAACbw/oRwXnJVYEsw/s1600/IMG_0436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--sbxcjNEQQk/UHv4tQ3fSKI/AAAAAAAACbw/oRwXnJVYEsw/s1600/IMG_0436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><b>Gray Skies</b><br />
I never thought I needed the sunshine, until I spent 3 winters here. Really though if I am completely honest it's not just winter, there are very few sunny blue sky days. Having lived in the South West all of my life I am so accustom to endless blue skies. I will not miss weather forecasts that count the HOURS the sun MIGHT shine.<b> </b><br />

We have a very narrow street and one of our neighbors parks there car on the street, there have been times when other cars will honk and wait for them to come out of their house to move the car! Last week it was a Semi-truck who couldn't get past and boy was he mad!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sidewalk and Waiting Behind Parked Cars</b><br />
So with these narrow streets it is normal to wait behind a parked car for the on coming traffic, sometimes it's so tight you need to back up, or dive <b>onto</b> the side walk. AND have I ever mentioned sidewalks? That could be another post! To sum it up the sidewalks vary from 2 feet across to a mere few inches across. Not so easy to walk on or ride a bike on.<br />
<br />
<b>Joseph</b><br />
The same neighbor who parks on our street has a dog, a very large dog. Joseph. Who is some type of mastife I think. Joseph barks so loud whenever he feels like it or when his people leave. It's more like a long deep lonesome howl, everyday at approximetly 9. Never the less, I will NOT miss him.<br />

Although I took 8 months of German and feel confident in conversation, give me an official school paper and I get it wrong! The basic stuff I get, the time, the general purpose, but really I will get SOMETHING wrong, and the kids have been embarrassed by me. Like the time there was a end of the year party and I read that we were having a grill party, I thought meat was provided. It wasn't and we had nothing to eat. It worked out, but was stressful and I really embarrassed Naomi. That's only one story of the many.<br />

<br />
There are things I will miss about this great big<br />
sandstone house, but there are a few things I will not miss at all. The extremely creepy and wet basement. The lack of insulation and outrageous heating bill, the no yard and no place to store any outside stuff, and a tiny oven that wont fit a turkey in it.<br />

Everything is packed in 9 crates, or in one of the 10 duffel bags that are in the bedrooms. We have some furniture on loan, just VERY basic hotel kind of stuff, but it sure is nice to sit down. And we have a 220 TV so when all else fails we watch endless cartoons. I did keep out a few Legos and games to entertain us while we wait for our flight. This is pretty much what happens....<br />

Silus's class had a great fundraising event earlier this week. The teacher sent out a note asking for parents to being in cakes, and the class would sell each piece for 50 cents during recess. His class made about 60 Euro, which is close to $100. Pretty good for cake.<br />
<br />
Silus helped me make rainbow cupcakes the night before, unfortunately we didn't manage to get a picture.nest4everhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532345429709620487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480410146022244457.post-71169516464927241442012-09-21T16:35:00.001+02:002012-09-21T16:35:21.419+02:00Choir Concert<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the things that I have come to love here are these slippers AKA house shoes. They are similar to the American slipper, but they are made out of felted wool, I think. They have no grip or rubber bottom, and are incredibly comfortable. They are sold for only a few euros, but you can only get them in the fall for a few short weeks. I like to make them a little more fun to wear by adding little accents to them.</div>

Here's Silus, ready for school. He likes to get ready and play for a few minutes before he leaves. <br />
<br />

Usually his homework is finished at school, but when it's not, Silus works diligently to finish everything.<br />

I've been a slacker this week and haven't really taken any pictures or done any posting. We are still waiting to see exactly how long we will be staying here in Germany, and it's difficult not knowing. It could be sooner than we originality thought, but whatever happens I JUST WANT TO KNOW. The waiting game is a hard one, like a little fly buzzing right in your ear. I want to shoo it away, but it keeps coming back, loud and annoying.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-style: italic;"></span>I think I'm back on track now, and will try posting more this month.</div>
