In Vancouver!!!!

After a very busy week of cleaning our appartment, wrapping up military paperwork, and finishing packing our stuff, we left Germany on a HUGE airplane. The flight was a direct flight from Frankfurt to Portland, and I slept for 4 of the 11 hours... except for the rather annoying bus rides from the airport terminal to the airplane and the airplane to the terminal, the flight was uneventful, almost pleasant.
Grampa, Aunt Hanna, and Anna met us at the airport in Portland, what a nice surprise!
We spent the first few days at Steve and Anna's house - thank you for sharing your home with us! The day after our arrival, we got cell phones, and found a cute, small appartment we will live in with a month-to-month lease until we move into our house. We bought a 2001 VW jetta wagon, which will be my Momma's car as soon as our Honda arrives from its trip to the US from Germany. My Dad jumped right into job hunting, too. He has a few interviews this week, we will see what comes of those. My Momma looked at lots of houses with the realtor, and found two or three we would be very happy to call our home... for some odd reason the bank wants Dad's letter of employment before they will give us the money to buy a house though.
ANyway, we have been too busy visiting friends and family and getting settled to take many pictures, but my Dad has a Blackberry that takes pictures, so here are a few:

Here I am in the inside of our new car. The outside is dark blue. I like it.

At Steve and Anna's house, I escaped from my Momma while she was putting on my nighty...

Here I am having dinner in our (empty) appartment. It was yummy! My Momma made me a real burrito! I even managed to eat it without making too much of a mess!

Because we don't have many toys in our appartment, my Momma and Dad have to be creative. Letting me type letters (I call it "type e-i's") is one of my favorite new hobbies. I know the letter "eM!" and like typing lots of it!

Here the most recent picture... of me drinking "moo-juice" and eating breakfast.

More pictures and news (hopefully about a house and a job) to follow soon!


Greetings from beautiful, green Vancouver!
