A new friend for Philip

Since we moved in on the 4th we've been busy getting everything back on its place. We had 482 pieces. Most of it are boxes, but also furniture or stuff like bikes.
Our house is on three levels, lots of stairs, very good excercise :) Its an up and down of boxes and stuff to finally find the right place for everything. And since we moved in without any closets, all our clothes are in baskets right now. What a mess. But we are starting to love our new house, we find ourselfes in the old routines in the morning, like snugglebuggeling in our bed with the boys :)
Jerry the cat finally found her home now too. After almost two days outside not beeing seen she showed up yesterday evening beeing hungry.
But the best treasure happened to Mr. Flippy. He found a friend. The neighbours son, Timon showed up yesterday with his sister and their bunny and cat in tow. Both are blond like swedish kids.
I paid our neighbors a visit and found myself talking ENGLISH to a canadian-german very sweet couple. Both are music teachers and life the very organic way. Their house is build completly out of wood and has many features i loved in an instant. They have a vegetable garden and a big pond with a waterfall.
Well needless to say, we didn't see a lot about Philip for the rest of the day. He followed Timon, who is eight wherever he went.
Wolfgang and me asked ourself why we out of the sutten let Philip go without going with him. But it is this little village we life in now. Its sleepy, quiet. Everybody knows everybody and everybody watches over the kids.
It was funny, while i was talking to our english talking neighbors, all other neighbors just came out and said hello. Everybody told me where i will get what for shopping, how things work. When school is starting. It was very funny. I felt includet :) It made me really happy.
I found out a few nice things here: The bakery comes almost everyday and stops with a delivery car right in front of the house. There is a lady who deliveres eggs once a week, and the chicken are happily scratching outside the barn :) She also sells turkeys on christmas.
Wolfgang got the TV fixed yesterday, that gives us a little brake in the evening. It stayes bright till about 9 o'clock, so the kids stay up later.
We also have a playground just around the corner, Nicky already knows the way there. It has some climbing bars and Nicky is always on top of it. He already wanted to hang upside down on one of them. We where very impressed.
Tomorrow Philip and me will check out the Kindergarten right across the strees. He is very excited.
Love you all and have a great sunday!

Karin, it sounds so idealic there!! I know how exciting it is to start a new life (I did it 7 years ago here!) and I know you're going to have so much fun discovering all the little treasures in your new village. Hurrah!!!!

Oh- I wish that I could move to that street right next to the organic farmers with the eco-friendly house too. It sounds just like where we stay in Bavaria. I just love it there and I am happy for you all!
