It's 2pm for us, after a long flight and crazy morning of trying to put kids to sleep for the 5th time, and telling rather unmotivated movers where to put boxes (they got a look in their eyes every time we told them the box was to go 2 floors down). We arrived home 5 minutes before the movers came at 8am (2am in K/W...). Shortly after that, our car was dropped off. Marc had the internet working in no time, so we're quite hooked up already!
There were balloons and a beautiful sign decorated with candies which read "Welcome in Germany!" There were lots of groceries already in our fridge, and our neighbour came at noon (I was sleeping) with a huge pot of steaming hot stew which was the best thing I've ever tasted!
I kind of thought we'd take it easy for the first day, having not slept and all, but we...
- met our landlord (He wants me to do music at his wedding in September!)
- had a quick visit with our friends (very thoughtful and helpful)
- introduced ourselves to our neighbours, and went in to play (well, we talked and the kids played
- went grocery shopping
- got all our stuff, and began the unpacking process
It's 3am now, and Kaia is wide awake. Lia's sleeping, at least, but that means she'll be up early!
So we're feeling pretty encouraged, I think. I still can't believe it's happening...
Karla (for 2 sleeping Draders, 1 half-asleep, and 1 WIDE awake)

Nice pics; great to see all 3.5 of you (Karla is mostly ghostly in her self-portrait in the window). Post more pictures -- we've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Draders :)
