Coming back to Germany was quite interesting. Everyone seemed to have some level of mixed emotions returning to Munich after seeing so many people over the summer. Daph and I enjoyed thinking back to our first hours and days here last year and how amazingly clueless we were. (We couldn't count to 10 in German - now at least I can).
Watching the kids closely for problems, we found none. Julia announced she liked her Munich school better than the NJ school and looked forward to seeing 'friends'. David later remarked that he likes German food better than American food and he couldn't wait to have a "real schnitzel". Brian was a bit more reserved but said it was good to be home.
Daph and I discussed things we missed from the US (friends and family, space for the kids to play out of earshot, a yard, large capacity washer/dryer) and things we enjoyed coming back to here (nice new friends, a family-centric lifestyle, "real sausage", the feeling of adventure and travel for the kids).
In discussing the blog, I said maybe it was time to call it a year but Daph wanted to keep it up for our memory. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as Daphne and I do.
PS - George came back from the vet with a cut on his nose and an ear infection. The kennel claims he had a great time but he did need to go to the vet for a visit. Poor George. The upside - he was delighted to see Julia and the family. Alles gut.
