Settling In

We are finally in our house and getting to the point where 'real life' can begin.  I will post pictures soon!  The moving in is going a little slowly this time.  Normally, we get our stuff and have a few days before Russ starts work and the kids and I get locked into activities.  This time, however, work and activities already started because of being in the hotel for almost 2 months... so we have had to unpack amid and around other things we had going on.

No complaints though!  Our neighborhood is a newer section of the village of Mackenback.  The kids walk to the bus stop down the street and there is a bakery right there... so when Mom is being generous, they get a little treat.  We have met some friends that are within walking distance so that is great!  

Emma and Leo both are taking gymnastics.  Emma is continuing with Piano and Girl Scouts and Leo begins T-Ball next week.  I have plugged into the Catholic Women of the Chapel here.  It is very different from the group I was involved in while in Kansas, but it is nice.  Once I get settled, I will look into doing some volunteering and POSSIBLY work a little bit.  I have contacted my old employer in England to see if she had any at-home-work I could do for her.  I have done that for her once before when we lived in Texas and it was great so I am hoping we can maybe make that happen again.

Our home phone number is 011-49-6374-802695.  If you have Skype my name is Driggers4ship so we can chat on-line...  

I will take and post pictures soon!  The first week of April is our spring break and we are heading on road trip to Prague!  Super excited!  Emma turns 8 on the day before Easter, so we will have a small family celebration in the car on the way home...  hopefully the weekend after Easter we will have a few of her friends over for a small party.

Talk soon!  Love us!
