Slacker

Yes I'm a slacker but my German class has really been keeping me busy. I've got homework every night but I'm learning the language and it's staying in my head. YEAH for me!!!

What's been going on? Well, I'm in German class learning some German. ha ha

Chris is job hunting. He had a couple of interviews with consulting companies in town and they are working to find him a job. He is also checking in with some of the larger companies in town; Siemens, Bayer, etc.

Logan is working hard in school. We spent all last weekend working on his homework. He wrote a book report on one of the Magic Tree House books; Vikings at Sunrise. He also had to write a letter to a pen pal and he's learning lots of new words so they have the kids writing stories using these words. He always has German, spelling, writing, and Math. We do lots of review. A couple of weeks ago Logan had a Math test and only got 4 wrong. I think there were like 30/35 questions. He was proud as were we. Logan has a short week this week and next. Teacher workshops this week and Thanksgiving next. His school celebrates both German and US holidays.

Connor is great. Walking absolutely everywhere and getting into trouble. Chris took some new pics of Connor so I'll take a few more this week so I can post some new ones up on Flickr, Facebook and here on this blog. Connor's last Music Together class is tomorrow. We are sad that we aren't continuing on but happy that we don't have to make the commute any longer. It was a long way to go for 45 minutes. We still go to Lifelines a couple of doors down from our flat to a German music class. Both Connor and I love it. We go Friday afternoons. Connor will also take a Montessori class on Mondays starting in December. It should be loads of fun.

Tom and Ted are sad they can't go outside as often as they did back home in St. Paul, MN. They don't like the cat food here either. Not sure what the heck I'm going to do about that now.

We got a new oven for the flat. It's much larger than the old one and of course is brand new. The old one was nasty and we didn't use the oven that often but we did wash up and use the stove. We still need a new sink and cabinet. These items are in our contract and should have been put in back in July when we first got here. Don't get me started again on the folks that run this place. I could rant on and on and on and on....

Okay it's late here and I need to go to bed but not before I have a couple of cookies. I brought them with me to class but didn't get a chance to eat them. ha ha
