Annnnd...We're Back!

Well that only took three months.

So, as of yesterday we finally have internet.

Welcome to the first world nation of Germany.  We have outdoor plumbing and there is one guy two towns away who has electricity.

There is so much and yet, so little that has happened in the last three months.

 Firstly, we got all of our stuff.  Well, almost all of our stuff.  We had two broken items (Amy might know about more stuff) and my awesome tool box, which was a gift from Amy's folks was "lifted" by our movers (they took it).  We were later told that military movers have a habit of stealing tools and tool boxes.

 Secondly, and significantly more recently, work has begun on the house in ernest. The insulation has been put up, the stucco has been put on and painted, the scaffolding that was necessary to do all of that that has come down, and as of today, they are working the back and side yards with a mini-bulldozer in order to level the yard so we can put in our patio and fencing.

 Thirdly...and most importantly, we are fully involved in potty training.  The daycare now says that Ari is potty trained and that he was the easiest boy to potty train that they can remember.  He's still not asking to go, but he'll go when we ask him.  Yesterday we pee'd on a tree by our local carp pond.

Ahhh...just so exciting.

But enough about me, you want pictures. Some of these will be repeats from my Facebook page, but not everybody has seen that.
