Yesterday we went to Lauren's school where we took a tour and met her teacher and class. I think she was nervous. She stuck to my side the whole time and didn't want to let go of my hand. But, she really liked it and is excited about starting next Tuesday. Her teacher is Ms. Morgan and there are about 10 students in her class. It is a very small school with about 40 students total from preschool (age 4) to 5th grade. Every Friday they have a little program to show us what they have done that week. The Mums and Tots class also meets at her school so I will be going there with Justin on Thursdays. Now I just have to get up the courage to drive!!!
Last night Jason's boss had a barbecue for us. I was able to meet his coworkers and it was a nice evening. They cooked all kinds of meats including pork, beef, fish, chicken, and hot dogs and had some great salads with bread and wine. This was followed with a great chocolate cake, strawberries, cream, and ice cream with liquor in it. They make an event of dinner and it was 10pm before we left there. Of course I didn't realize it was that late because the sun doesn't set here until about 11pm right now. His boss lives a couple of towns north of here and our drive home was through some beautiful countryside and cute villages.
The kids have made themselves at home here and enjoy running around the house. I am just ready to get into our permanent housing so that I can get settled in. I think we are really going to like it here, I just want to learn the language (not that easy) so that I can read the signs around town and labels at the grocery store.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers that have been sent our way! I promise to get out in the town and take some pictures soon. Lauren is bugging us to ride the train so we will be doing that soon also.

Cool! We are glad Lauren loves her new school and that she can't wait to start next Tuesday. Mums and Tots class sounds like you will be meeting some new friends. 11pm for sundown! Wish we were there, too.
so fun! What a sweet thing for Jason's co-workers to do for ya'll - what a fun time! Billy and I were cracking up that it was 10 pm and the sun was up and it seemed early! I bet the next morning was rough!
