We're here!

Hey everyone, we made it safely to Berlin, praise the Lord! We left Charlotte May 21st at 5:30pm, but didn't actually get off the ground until around 7pm, needless to say we missed our flight in Munich and ended up with a six hour layover once we arrived in Germany. The kids did sleep on the Charlotte to Munich flight, Maggie slept for quite a bit, Henry only slept for about three hours! They both slept in the Munich airport and were exceptionally well behaved during both flights, which I accredit to much prayer and a very gracious heavenly Father. We are still trying to get used to our new sleep schedule. Maggie is having a much easier time of it than Henry. Tyler and I are doing great, and are quickly trying to learn as much German as we can to get by. There is a beautiful playground right across the street from our apartment and everything is within walking distance. There is a central-park-like area less than a mile away with even more playgrounds and running trails (which makes me very happy). Many folks around here speak English, which is very helpful, but not all. I am a little nervous about my first trip to the grocery store alone, but we are very thankful for our host family, the Elmericks, whom have been extremely generous, helpful and hospitable to us so far. Thanks for checking in and I'll hopefully post some pics soon, please continue to keep our family in your prayers!
