Internet!!!


We finally have internet access in our house!!
It is not the service that we signed up for months ago (still no word from them). We ended up getting a mobile modem thing (ask Josh for details). All I know is that I can check e-mail and post blogs from the comfort of my own home!

So much has happened since the last time we posted that I'm not sure where to begin. Today Josh and I finished our first month of German class. I think that it was a great class and we both learned a lot. Josh's German is so good that he has actually been mistaken for an Austrian! Mine, on the other hand, is just beginning. I will go to a store and try to use my German, and they immediately switch over to English. At least I am trying.
Carli and Caleb are both loving school. They have made good friends and have both been invited into their friends homes. We have been able to have some of their friends into our home as well (besides the usual neighbor kids). They continue to amaze me by how quickly they make friends, even though they cannot speak each others language.

Josh and I are also trying to get to know the people around us. There is a neighbor who really enjoys talking to Josh and I had coffee with one of Caleb's friends mom. One thing that I have been having a hard time with is being so far away from friends. I think God is helping us with that. The language is still a barrier for me, so please pray that I will learn German quickly.

I have many stories to share, so I will start posting them one by one. So make sure you check back often.

Here are a few random pictures for you....





This last one is the view from our bedroom window at sunset. It is so beautiful.

I can't wait to hear all the stories. We miss you guys so much and are looking forward to more of how you are doing!!!
 
I thought I was going to have to go to Vienna and make sure you guys were okay, it has been so long since we've gotten our update! Do you guys still just have 3 kids? We're so happy to hear you and your kids are adjusting so well. As the only person that ever dropped German while on the Vienna studies program, you're accomplishing something I couldn't! You're at the top of our favorites list, so lets have with the stories!
 
I'm so glad I found your blog. I think of you all often, it's great to find out you are doing so well. Keep posting, I can't wait to hear it all!!!!! :)
Love, E. Bailey
