A baby, a kid, and a new country

2013 has been a really crazy year for our little family.  We added the new baby to our herd back in April which has been a wonderful experience.  It hasn't been without it challenges, but overall, I feel it has been a smooth transition for our new little family member.  However, all of us will be making a HUGE jump in December when we leave for a 4 year stay in Stuttgart, Deutchland (Germany).  The Hubs will be taking on a new role in his career with Bosch and I will be taking on the role of European family travel agent.  So much to experience...it is really exciting.  We've been taking German lessons for several weeks and will continue our language lessons while in Germany.  The hardest part, so far, has been the physical move.  Movers came ~6 weeks ago and packed most of our things and sent it on a ship to our new home.  We've been shuffled around from place to place for quite some time living out of suitcases and bags.  It's been tough with the little guys.  But, on Dec 10, we will say "Auf Wiedersehen, Amerika" and say "Hallo Deutschland".
