Our German Home

We have officially moved into our house! We've been there for several days, in fact, and it's been so nice to finally be out of that hotel room! (We lived in a hotel for an entire month...) We don't have any of our stuff, yet, but it should arrive by the end of the month. The biggest downside to being in the house is that we have no internet. There are a few places we can go to get free wifi, but it's just not the same. Haha Hopefully it won't be too very long before internet gets hooked up in our house.

As far as our house goes, I think we got really lucky! It was actually the first (and only) house that we looked at. I saw the house online about 2 hours after it was posted, and we were the first people to tour it. It's in the village of Steinwenden, and is only about 10 minutes from base. We live on a dead end street, and at the end of the street is a horse ranch and a walking trail (which has some fruit growing next to it!). The house has solar panels which heat our water, and a filter system to catch rain water to flush the toilets.

Since I'm using my phone to post this, I can't post any pictures right now. Here's a tour of the house to tide you over! (Sorry for my bad camera work...)

Easter 2014

Easter was a few months ago, but I never posted the pictures on here like I intended to, so I'm doing it now.  It was Natalie's second Easter, and the first one where she was able to "hunt" for eggs and such.  We walked a little ways from our house to a grassy area to take pictures and let her run around.  It was a fun opportunity for me to take pictures!  Natalie was 16 months old in these pictures.

"Mama, my egg opened!"

{Put the eggs in the basket.....}

{Take the eggs out of the basket....}

The eggs eventually lost their appeal, and Natalie started hunting leaves.
