So I have been slack on updating my blog. We just got internet today. So I can actully use my computer instead of my iphone. At the begining of December we moved into our house. We like it a lot. We are almost unpacked. Trying to find a spot for everything is very challenging. In Germany they don't have closets that you can throw things in and hide them. We have these things called schranks the are like wardrobes. We are lucky we have at least one in every room. We have one closet for coats and storage so we are having trouble finding a place for every little item.
During the week of Chrismas Dennis took leave and we did some traveling. We went to the Vulkenberg Cavern in the Netherlands to see there Christmas market. It was very neat. Several little booths in this cave. We had a good time in the cave. Then we drove to Brussels. Brussels is a very busy town. We stayed in a shady hotel, we have learned our lesson about hotels after that trip. We went to theChristmas market at night, it was very cold. We will never go to a Christmas Market at night with the girls again. Very crowded. We also tried a french restaurant. Since we were in belgium they speak French so we were definetly lost there. We went to a restauant where the guy was very nice. He was helping us with the menu and then he said "I make a combo for you of meat and seafood", so we were like ok. Dumb Americans we ended up spending 125euro which is close to 150 dollars on one meal. He brought us an appetizar, salad, drinks, and our plate had different fish, shrimp, mussels, lobster, filet, chicken. It was very good but really pricey. We learned our lesson there to. Don't let any waiter make a combo up order off the menu. We saw the Royal Palace, the manacian P( which is just a ststue peeing but its famous), and ate a belgium waffle. We had a fun trip but Brussels was not what I had imagined.
On CHristmas we opened presents as a family and Ada had a great time. She opened every ones present. She liked the unwrapping. For dinner we had 13 adults and 4 children. We had a lot of fun but I was exhausted from cooking all of the food.
Janurary has been good so far. The girls and I stay busy by going to MOPS, storytime and Ada is in gymnastics on Fridays. She is doing great and loves every minute of it. I am still waiting on the civilian board to hire me. When I get hired I will be work at Landstuhl Regional Medical center in the pediatric clinic. It will be a whole different ball game then i am use to. I am ready to go back think but wish it was part time. Ada is ready to play with other kids. She sees kids playing at a playground and gets very sad. Ella is growing up fast. She is rolling over and like to talk. She is such a smiley baby. Oh yea and Dennis has began flying. He went to Greece and a few other places already. We are slowly adjusting. Well that is it for now. Hope you enjoy reading about our adventures.
