….getting there…

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

…so we are getting there…not quite settled, but in a new place - our own place with borrowed furniture and our first shipment which was just a few things - like my desktop computer that I burnt the power supply in because it didn’t plug it in correctly…oh well…but I still have this laptop to create and play.

So more photos…got a media card reader - woohoo, I can’t tell you how exciting that is for me ;) …anyway, first here’s a photo of Aodhan, who wanted to trim his hair - to look like Johnny Test (cartoon character - heard of him?) - he is unknown here, but we were luckily influenced before we left the States…and Aodhan is so much like this characer with energy and well, looks…here we go:

the before do and newly toothless - ummm, and his brother (entertainment at the Chicago airport - on our way to Deutschland)

and the transformation

and…so some more Germany photos…I’m not sure why I took this one, but it looks kind of cool - this crown was sitting on a patio table in a Biersgarten

approaching a park fountain - the boys are sillouetted in the middle

a cool door near the fountain

and….this has to be my new favorite photo - the boys holding hands as they went trick or treating…they were so excited, and there were so many people - one of our rules was to stick together and look out for each other

…so that’s what I have for now - happy day!

Well, we’re here in Germany and working on getting settled - lots going on - moving to a real house soon and working on FP stuff and trying to catch up on lots of other work. :) The boys are loving school and enjoying making new friends and also looking forward to Halloween…it’s not really celebrated here (a little bit for parties, I think)…but we’ll celebrate none the less.

I’ve got some new papers that have come out with Fancy Pants - Arctic Chill - very excited about them - check it out here - and here’s a layout I created:

Got this paper pack finished, too - Autumn Rain:

And so I have a few  photos to share of Germany, but these are from my cell phone - need a media card reader to get the camera ones to the computer (not as easy to find as you would think).

Down the street from our hotel - is a toys r us and a mall, just like back home - well, sort of: this one has a grocery store and lots of really good german bread, etc…:
