Relief at last

Sitting at Caribou Coffee.

I can feel the release of tension. Rather like the end of this last semester. The only things remaining in the apartment are the sofa, the dresser, and the vacuum cleaner. Waiting for a pick-up truck to get them out, now that the elevator works.

Opa and Oma are leaving tomorrow morning. The kids (especially Michael) will probably be devastated. Their source of maternally un-approved chocolate and other sugar-containing substances will be gone.

Welcome/Willkommen to the city life! What a bummer the elevator chose your moving day to malfunction. At least the kids didn't "malfunction." Nothing like sick kids to crap up a moving day. Looking forward to more stories at Stammtisch!

Fuer B&I -- gute Reise morgen!

kids "malfunctioning" .... hmmm, something I didn't consider. Other than the Too Much Sugar Not Enough Sleep traditional melt-down.

B & I are off to the wilds of Wyoming. Michael went to the airport to bid them adieu. Well, rather auf wiedersehen.

Loved the photos of the new place! It really looks lovely. And there's a nice front yard, too. I bet you'll really enjoy having more space to move around in and for the boys (all of them). Do you get your own home office?
