Germany

A bit of time has passed between our time amongst the tulips and wind-blown packing preparations to our new life here in Germany. This past week marked a full month for us here in the land of wurst and pretzels. We made it with the help of caring friends, kind hosts and the grace of God.

Peter is now working for our friend in his landscaping business, and is doing splendidly. I am more than half-way there with my immigration process and hope to find a job within the near future. German is arising from amongst the shambles of the English, French and Dutch languages that lie drooping in my brain, while Peter with the help of his Germanic background, is the main communicator in the family. 

Regularity and rhythm are slowly, but surely returning to our lives and with it, consistent and loving updates. We shall let some pictures convey a bit of the past few weeks and show you a wee peep into our new home-land.

  1. Ugh! It's a good thing I read your "contentment" post before this one, or else I would be very jealous that you get to spend so much time with Kristyn!!! haha
