Spring has Sprung

I have been home sick for a while (with no internet access) and have fallen behind on blog updates.

Now spring is really here in full force. The portion of the day in sunlight has increased dramatically. The leaves are out on the trees and it is warming up. The bugs are out. Some "mayflies" have made huge clouds in the air and last Sunday T and I rode our bikes through them and got a face full. So much has changed so quickly. I have never been to Germany this time of the year so it is really something to see the changes.

Some updates. Last week we finished painting M's room. V taught her first class last Thursday! It was an hour and a half English class. She said it didn't go perfect but not so bad either. T had his first day in his new class today. It seemed to go fine. M has had pony riding in her kindergarten! We picked up the marriage certificate translation last Friday. Walked to Princes' Island Sunday and the kids got to play in the water. There's also a flock of sheep out there that have some young lambs. And today I finally got my tax rate reduced with the marriage translation at the Rathaus.
