Our new house

This is our new house!  It's a duplex where you only get half of the house.  It has four floors.

 This is the attic bathroom.  I'm probably going to sleep in the attic.  It is HUGE.  The toilet is behind the door.

 This is the right side of the attic.  I know, it's huge!    To the right of Megan is where I hope my bed goes.  There is a corner right there and I want to put a reading light on the wall.  I want a queen sized bed.  My dresser and desk will go right beside my bed.

 This is the other half of the attic.  I like the slanted roof.  The door right there is a door to a very big closet.
 This is a picture from the kitchen to the dining room to the family room to the backyard.  Everything is very white... but not for long.  Mostly because our furniture will make it more colorful.
 This is the kitchen.  It has lots of cabinets.  That big cabinet in the middle is the small German fridge.  The one below it is the freezer.  We get another fridge from the military to go downstairs in our storage room.  In Germany every room has doors, including the kitchen.  Even our front entry has a door which is kind of weird.  It will never be closed unless Matthew is loose in the house and we want to keep him in a certain area.
 This is the family room.  We are going to put our big couch in here and our big TV in here and our big piano in here.   The backyard is small and all closed up.  Our trampoline is probably half the size of it... but we can go to the park and play tag.   There is dirt for Luke and Matthew to play in.
 This is one of the two rooms that are right beside each other and that look exactly the same.  Megan might be in one room and Matthew and Luke might be in the other?  Mom and Dad's bedroom is on this same floor on the other side of the house.  There is also a square white bathroom.

These are the marble stairs... and that door to the right is a closet and then if you keep going you'll get to the half bathroom and then to the front door. 
 This is a great biking trail.  I'm so excited to ride my bike on it.

Bowling

We went bowling for Ryan's birthday.  The three girls bowled on one lane.  I was the first one in the family to get a strike!  During most of the first game I was beating everyone.   I beat the birthday boy in the first game.  I got 92 on the first game with two strikes.  The second game I did horrible.  I got 65.    I ate chicken fingers and fries and I had a Fanta orange drink.  (But in Germany it is more yellow and less orange and tastes more like orange juice.)  It is yummy.   I want to go back soon.  There is a playground there and miniature golf.

We are here

We are in Germany!  We went on an overnight 9 hour plane.  Every one had their own TV and we could watch movies like Planet 51Alice in Wonderland, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The squeakquel, and the Blind Side.  Those are all the movies I watched.  That's probably why I slept for only two hours.  My Dad watched TV all night so he didn't sleep at all.  We were so tired that when were on the ground we felt like we were moving.  We got a snack, dinner and breakfast on the airplane.


We went throught a lot of lines to get on an hour bus to go to Heidelberg.  So far we live in a hotel room.  (4 hotel rooms.  Dad and mom sleep in a room with Matthew.  The girls share a big bed and room.  Ryan and I have our own twin size beds.  We share a room with Lukey.  Then we have a family room area and small kitchen too which is not as big as my old laundry room.  All the rooms connect.  We have three bathrooms too.


Lukey was screaming all night.  I tried sleeping with the girls but they were awake and louder.  At 1:00am, about 10 minutes later, Emily bonked her head and my Dad told me to go back to bed.  Luke cried some more and we both went to bed at 2:00 in the morning and both got 7 hours of sleep.


In our area of base there is a movie theater, a bowling place and a park that we can walk to.  The park is HUGE and it is across the street.  We went to the movie theater once to see Karate Kid.
