Just have to play around with the settings.Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-14131588105477036782008-11-16T09:50:00.000-08:002008-11-16T10:08:42.271-08:005 monthsYes, it's been 5 months since I updated. In that time:<br />we went to Europapark twice<br />Cora has 6 teeth and one word (ni-night)<br />My mom and Phyllis came to visit and we went to the Czech Republic, Austria, and southern Germany<br />Sarah is in German preschool 5 days a week, can spell stop, cat, hat and hand, and identify a lot more sight words. She can also say quite a bit in German especially numbers, animals and colors.<br />the kids were Dumbo (Cora) and a pirate princess (Sarah) for Halloween<br />and we are off to Tunisia next week for a long Thanksgiving weekend. We are staying around this area for Christmas since Martin has to work on the 24th, but of course there are plenty of things to do without leaving the area. :)<br />Pictures to come--soon--I promise. :)Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-86507875757918738062008-07-15T04:17:00.000-07:002008-07-15T04:35:06.587-07:00Martin and the girls<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNWhv0iBuMnXM67oCgIYzsD8zBPTuGHFnz6D1fwc_I29KhJlhn2X12LhYClo2mwya081y00dUDHKNY7V5u2e0-EkLeLtCEIJJqNOPuQ7vu5aL5iqUiF4xeHKgIqXD8PO40iAHL/s1600-h/DSC_0545.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223202830801114658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNWhv0iBuMnXM67oCgIYzsD8zBPTuGHFnz6D1fwc_I29KhJlhn2X12LhYClo2mwya081y00dUDHKNY7V5u2e0-EkLeLtCEIJJqNOPuQ7vu5aL5iqUiF4xeHKgIqXD8PO40iAHL/s320/DSC_0545.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsEe2xqMV5Bmz4LTY9qiao8Es0vk_Zh8zVJRbr92_oiIBQixjw87X3nZJ3O4xQCk6tv5nHd3JDUrJiWhNw9WrExglMGvWCQRowbmq9WKJRsj-dZdVLxfh7LWPxqeV-4qH0Mcu/s1600-h/DSC_0553.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223202846406730626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsEe2xqMV5Bmz4LTY9qiao8Es0vk_Zh8zVJRbr92_oiIBQixjw87X3nZJ3O4xQCk6tv5nHd3JDUrJiWhNw9WrExglMGvWCQRowbmq9WKJRsj-dZdVLxfh7LWPxqeV-4qH0Mcu/s320/DSC_0553.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAR9M0JdVIVA3Bsw5iukqE59TFV292pByW3HHSJUhq5owCSg3Z0Q5UYN12P8FRFoaNcMb4ovo4wuC-QcE8OErXLz0QTDWyH8eTiUypx5k6jF0LPurFseSN6rtQU0JLOEPKpOKJ/s1600-h/DSC_0572.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223202848489332082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAR9M0JdVIVA3Bsw5iukqE59TFV292pByW3HHSJUhq5owCSg3Z0Q5UYN12P8FRFoaNcMb4ovo4wuC-QcE8OErXLz0QTDWyH8eTiUypx5k6jF0LPurFseSN6rtQU0JLOEPKpOKJ/s320/DSC_0572.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv0f2-vjPmTxAoMxrFfxGlmWGS26Z6EAv4IR4phUNy9Em46JdO6IztMVZv2FjZrBkXKRsSuHYCpTUQwSGSTdAKwoZxXjiy-nbzPMkDSsw5_o06XE6s3Yb8lmF-5dosf-6jKl7v/s1600-h/DSC_0585.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223202857638847554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv0f2-vjPmTxAoMxrFfxGlmWGS26Z6EAv4IR4phUNy9Em46JdO6IztMVZv2FjZrBkXKRsSuHYCpTUQwSGSTdAKwoZxXjiy-nbzPMkDSsw5_o06XE6s3Yb8lmF-5dosf-6jKl7v/s320/DSC_0585.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAgFY4KEZ9LiAFixWW80vssKqqsfSfGojbTZ_aDavqzeciANwalg-8GhupsxS4XUWG0XZo3dvisGYwvJb_N2LIrnF4i0Wg-uiesntcT2ARAdIG-jbs4fScLbIvT8fIQRCmtwvk/s1600-h/DSC_0619.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223202880556147778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAgFY4KEZ9LiAFixWW80vssKqqsfSfGojbTZ_aDavqzeciANwalg-8GhupsxS4XUWG0XZo3dvisGYwvJb_N2LIrnF4i0Wg-uiesntcT2ARAdIG-jbs4fScLbIvT8fIQRCmtwvk/s320/DSC_0619.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-6268291571810531592008-07-15T03:58:00.000-07:002008-07-15T04:16:50.623-07:00Camping outMartin got a tent a few weeks ago, and we set it up in the backyard.

She has a new tooth so she's been a little higher maintenance than usual. Sarah is also developing a bit of an attitude, which we are trying to figure out how to deal with. If she is nice today then Martin will set up the tent outside so they can "camp." He has the day off tomorrow for our UAB delivery, which will be a nice break. <br />I got a kilogram of white asparagus at the market on Saturday....and am going to try to cook some tonight.

On Thursdays they give coupons for your next visit when you buy schnitzels. He also went to the grocery store to get some wine (have I mentioned how glad I am that he's back??). It was very, very good...Sarah is becoming a big fan of schnitzel too, but we can't get her to say "Sehr gutt." She just says it in English. BTW I think I just set a new record for using the word "schnitzel" the most times in one paragraph. <br />It's feast or famine as usual, and the past few days have been feast: <br />unaccompanied baggaged is here<br />the van is here<br />Martin's commuting car is almost ready for transfer (we're buying it from another American on base)<br />We got our phone hooked up and the internet<br />and we are going to Belgium for the weekend. Martin is bugging me to get ready since he and the girls slept until 930 and we got a late start. So I'll write more later and one of these days I'll be able to put up pictures.Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-75041689319742008892008-06-10T02:09:00.000-07:002008-06-10T02:28:56.234-07:00MovedWe have moved into the new house....we still don't officially have phone or internet but thank God for unsecured wireless networks. My connection goes out quite a bit though so no pictures yet. :)<br />Turns out life is much more pleasant on the first floor...and when your windows don't face a major highway. So far everything is great. Sarah woke up this morning and said it was the best day ever. Of course she says that about 50% of the time but we think she really meant it today. She;s so happy that she can go outside whenever she wants (and so are we). She has a swingset in the backyard and a tricycle left by the last tenants. <br />We have German cable which has a few English channels, and we are going to the gartenmarkt to buy plants for the garden sometime this week.Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-5296072938920841962008-06-05T15:25:00.001-07:002008-06-05T15:26:09.616-07:00update tomorrow :)I have a ton of pictures from the last few days and some stuff to say but it will have to wait for tomorrow as I am beat. :) It's on;y 1230 AM, I might get to sleep at a decent hour tonight!!Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-1856582774208662522008-06-03T04:19:00.000-07:002008-06-03T04:22:15.073-07:00Full of SheepsSarah just told me I was full of sheeps. <br />I could hear her saying "full ofsh----," but couldn't make out the word. So I asked her to come in here and repeat it...and she said "MOm you're full of sheeps." I asked her who said that, thinking maybe it was one of the grandparents. She said "NO! You're full of SHEEPS." And opened her hand and showed me the gummy sheep the housekeeper had just given her--because every time she offers me candy I tell her I'm full (well, unless it's chocolate). At least she was kind of trying to share. ;)Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-31912939547515943732008-06-01T16:17:00.000-07:002008-06-01T16:29:38.809-07:00More house pics<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU8jvn8LAmt6kQ8K64GZQT5-2-I972uhXpuxZut4DNF_e2h9M19EZowsHI0izJbSrbZq46u0r3cbn6O7yjq8w_7X1teB7lU96dFOSGwf8ncq0-tiBnH6g09NStQI6xVE88z_x_/s1600-h/DSC_0649.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207057437959343026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU8jvn8LAmt6kQ8K64GZQT5-2-I972uhXpuxZut4DNF_e2h9M19EZowsHI0izJbSrbZq46u0r3cbn6O7yjq8w_7X1teB7lU96dFOSGwf8ncq0-tiBnH6g09NStQI6xVE88z_x_/s320/DSC_0649.JPG" border="0" /></a> Last ones for tonight...exterior of the house. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ey6djkLjcWh7kPrxS4-D9yuIvZmygLx7Ogsgq_ETc7frLYIrt7RU1kipykouDx_2zVCk_TQ5nip4YS6zrYZnobNqgQ6yFRI3kVLn32bAZdImXTlEXZ-pGRT1XZ5T8KljaNnK/s1600-h/DSC_0651.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207057450844244930" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ey6djkLjcWh7kPrxS4-D9yuIvZmygLx7Ogsgq_ETc7frLYIrt7RU1kipykouDx_2zVCk_TQ5nip4YS6zrYZnobNqgQ6yFRI3kVLn32bAZdImXTlEXZ-pGRT1XZ5T8KljaNnK/s320/DSC_0651.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgTP3TKa8I0R0MI_PpAjqVEBfiRYjd_0O1MXo-ghu5xlgm9IcufkUtWSIwIC9cm2p_A53oVwGApMw-Bj0K0kOKqbnVgIHS0VjyP9Oc3Qsq9C7M8Lg-16OPClYNo_CZQ81pfBod/s1600-h/DSC_0653.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207057463729146834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgTP3TKa8I0R0MI_PpAjqVEBfiRYjd_0O1MXo-ghu5xlgm9IcufkUtWSIwIC9cm2p_A53oVwGApMw-Bj0K0kOKqbnVgIHS0VjyP9Oc3Qsq9C7M8Lg-16OPClYNo_CZQ81pfBod/s320/DSC_0653.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20282376.post-12324614056688488252008-06-01T16:04:00.000-07:002008-06-01T16:15:09.875-07:00Going back to the houseIt looks like we MAY be able to start moving some things into the house next weekend. :) THe people in there now will be gone by the 5th and we can take a look Friday and see if we want to wait for repairs/painting or just move in if there are no problems.

Afterwards we decided to go off base and find a nice German restaurant to have lunch in. We couldn't find the one we'd been to before so we found a biergarten and went there. We lugged the kids to the patio and sat down. I went to get menus....and the bartender told me the kitchen had closed at 2. So, we moved on. We finally found the restaurant we were looking for--and lugged the kids in THERE--and naturally it was closed too. SO, we went back to the base because Martin knew of a good german restaurant. Not exactly what I'd hoped for--I wanted something off base--but it was clear we weren't going ot find anything. We were all hot, tired, and starving by now. So we went to the restaurant....had to park across the street and a long way away....then as we were crossing the street Sarah was dawdling so I NUDGED the back of her head and she fell in the street. SHe freaked out, of course, andI had to carry her. She loves to tell people that I pushed her down in the road. Anyway, we got in, sat down, and the waiter came over and asked if we wanted drinks....because the kitchen was closed. Mother of ass. So we asked if there was anywhere in Germany that wasn;t closed between 2 and 5...and he suggested the Chinese buffet in the (American) community Center across the street. I was sick of trying so we finally broke down and tried it...got inside....it was closed for maintenance. So we just came back here and ate hummus and pita. <br />We decided to try to go out Saturday night for dinner....waited untila "decent" hour, 5:00. This time we were smarter. We found the same restaurant as the day before....but only Martin went in, to make sure they were open. Nope, they are closed on weekends. We found another restaurant, a "speisselokal" which I am probably misspelling...but it sounded like it would have well, local food. Went in....and there was food. Our first off-base food in Germany was here....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6GBfNjERpkjSFHzXt1BctADQSfqDJHdmzpYVnzE7UNeGg_4TlumhLHmrbFrk2t57P3ik2XuIz3FkF-457k2uLuvIbldmKDipvuSNOsIivIhRh1YigRpmjSmhUax3b0vvDL6ko/s1600-h/DSC_0625.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207046112130583314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6GBfNjERpkjSFHzXt1BctADQSfqDJHdmzpYVnzE7UNeGg_4TlumhLHmrbFrk2t57P3ik2XuIz3FkF-457k2uLuvIbldmKDipvuSNOsIivIhRh1YigRpmjSmhUax3b0vvDL6ko/s320/DSC_0625.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Yep, Turkish food. :-/ It was pretty good but we are still waiting for a schnitzel. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_XBgZCq9XDLiu3wv3w9ZBF8mpriM94PZSsOyivwSV0OZnMiM7-dPJY1KD6c7HkFxboXNtydASZ54yT1YGmRkIugboqZgbZZrxIMJaOvDvdtFl6xv0ordZtZlIJQij3fUGE_g/s1600-h/DSC_0623.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207046125015485218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ_XBgZCq9XDLiu3wv3w9ZBF8mpriM94PZSsOyivwSV0OZnMiM7-dPJY1KD6c7HkFxboXNtydASZ54yT1YGmRkIugboqZgbZZrxIMJaOvDvdtFl6xv0ordZtZlIJQij3fUGE_g/s320/DSC_0623.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Sarah at the Turkish place before we got rained on. Today we went to McDonald's off base too, and had some "mini-schnitzels," but they just weren't the same. Maybe we'll try again tomorrow.Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04240397756538922885noreply@blogger.com0
