Today we went to church - it was great. A whole other set of vocabulary, but I don't really know too much at this point, anyway! Marc tried to translate, so I understood the overall point of the sermon. We met many people this morning, including a babysitter (yippee!) and a missionary colleague of our missionary friend. Small world!! There is a Mom's group that I will try to attend, but it will be a challenge since I really don't know any German yet.
Lia and Kaia were in the same Sunday school "class", and one of the helpers said she did very well, but she didn't seem to realize that no one spoke English there because she kept chattering away to everyone the entire time. She was fearless, coming up to people and being so friendly. It may be because before we left for church she wanted to make sure she was beautiful so that the people would like her!! We told her that if she was friendly and kind, that was all she needed to be. (And also she was beautiful!) She played with a little girl there who had on the same dress as her, just in a different colour.
We had a quick lunch of doners, and then drove an hour to a huge park - it had a butterfly conservatory, a splashpark with sand and climbers everywhere. This place was huge and crazy and dirty and great. Perfect for kids.
The 180km/hr (in parts) drive home included traffic jams, amazing dirty diapers, some upchucking and lots of singing. We are all exhausted and are heading to bed.
Lia goes to kindergarten tomorrow!!

Many new adventures every day - you are all so brave! Interesting that even at 3 years of age Lia thinks you have to be beautiful for people to like you. Hope the first day of kindergarten goes well.
Wow, lead-foot Drader in his new station-wagon. I love it! Was that on the autobohn (sp?)
