We are finally back!!

Well, we finally have internet. We are pretty much settled in to our new home. We have all our furniture and STUFF and just a little bit more organization and some painting and we will be set. We have been very busy.

John started work and is very happy with his new job. Also back in the air which is always a wonderful thing. You all know that is his happy place. He is off of work almost everyday by 5:30. This is such a great place for us as far as time together. A lot different from last year. We are making up for a lot of lost time and it feels so nice. The kids seem so happy now that we are settled and to be able to be with both mom and dad so much.

I am making new friends and really just getting used to the area. We did some exploring this past weekend and went to the Rhine River and went to some local shopping areas. Very cool. I have been taking the kids to the park every day and we all really enjoy that.

Austin started school last week. He goes 3 days a week for 3 hours at a time. He is so excited to tell us what he did when we pick him up. We always pick he and John up so we can all have lunch together. It is so great to be able to do so much as a family. He has been doing some bike riding and today he rode his scooter. He just turned 4 a couple of weeks ago and is really growing up. Best news of all is he went to the doc for his 4 year check up and he is in the 10th percentile for his height and weight. He has never even been on the chart until last year when he was in the 5th percentile so this is huge. He has made a handful of friends already and is adjusting really well.

Annabelle is keeping me busy. She is so funny!!! Definitely my wild child. She is really trying to go in the potty. She attempts such on her own now which is really scary. Her vocabulary is amazing to me. She is saying 6 word sentences and very quick to put everyone in there place with those words. We have to stay on top of her with that. She is also so very sweet though. She is constantly holding my face in her hands and randomly telling me how much she loves me throughout the day. It is so beautiful.

Well, we hope to start our travels this weekend and we will be posting pics and some exciting stuff. Sorry about the long family update. I just love my lil fam so much I want to share them with all of you. I will give you a break from this but promise to send some good pics soon.
