Grrrrrr

I'm really sorry about the lack of posts our Internet is still not set up (can you imagin!) actually it's quite a disaster and forewarn anyone who moves to Germany be prepared! They connected our Internet to another home needless to say its been very frustrating. I have also been busy pulling our home together my mom arrives tmrw yippee so it's been a whirlwind of furniture shopping etc. I hope to get my hostess with the mostest list out tmrw from Jakob's office! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Best
