Can't say I have anything particularly new to add except that Oscar made me realize today that there are under two months to departure date...starting to get the "Ohmygoodness--toomuchtodo--cantgetitalldone--aaagghhh!" feeling more and more often. Extra passport photos, shipping companies, paperwork, doctor's visits, more paperwork...this is hard!

Meanwhile, we ARE having fun learning some German together. Today we started in on the things used in schule. Bleistifte, Filzstifte, Waxmalstifte...let me tell you, there are a lot of Stiften out there. But the kids are doing great and whatever we do now can only help later.
