As for current updates...my German is improving as I'm now starting my third week of intensive language courses. Was thrilled with myself for carrying on a decent conversation with the woman working the corner toy store by Greta's school. She has a daughter living in Bakersfield whose kids speak no German--the horror of first generation immigrants' children! I told her not to worry--her great-grandkids would take an interest in their German roots.
Greta has been doing well in school. We've got the drop off situation fixed with a good morning song to the two bunnies at school and window waves that lets her follow me around the corner to see me off. It's pretty cute. We have her Weinachts party at school Friday afternoon. I'm making Coriander Shortbread Stars, German wreaths, and a few other heavily powdered-sugared cookies to bring. Also am making cookies for my class party & cookie dough for Emery's party. I'm actually really enjoying it. It's fun to have the time to do this stuff.
Dan's parents arrive tomorrow morning. Their first flights were cancelled, but they should still be here before noon! The kids are getting pretty amped up. Greta had a total breakdown on the SBahn heading home from Emery's school yesterday. She howled the entire trip. Truth be told I didn't really care enough to be embarrassed. What was I going to do? Get off at some other random stop? For the moment everyone is happy--we're watching Alvin & the Chipmunks before bed.
Can't wait to get back to the regular blog!
