Allie loves her glo-worm.

We finally are unpacking in Tuebingen. The 8 hour flight went surprisingly well. Allie slept for the majority of the flight, and Isabelle was fairly well behaved! It was way better then we expected! They have been struggling with the difference in time zone...lots of tears, meltdowns and whining. They both actually slept last night and so we are hopefully going in the right direction!

Our apartment in Tuebingen is very nice...2 bedrooms and a bathroom with shower and a separate toliet. Allie and Izzy are sharing a room, which also is a toy toom. The city is quaint, friendly, and very beautiful. The weather has been chilly and raining, but should hopefully be nice this weekend. We are slowly finding our way around the city. We live very close to downtown. They have an open air market Monday, Wednesday and Friday and we went to the market yesterday which was so neat. Our landlords made dinner for us last night, and have been so helpful with the things that we need to do here...(open a bank account, post office, residence permit). They are wonderful! My German will hopefully get better. I have been watching Dora along with Isabelle in German. It seems to be a little easier to follow then the news!

We will will post more pictures soon. Thank you to everyone that gave us a wonderful send-off in Des Moines. This should be an exciting year.
