Back in Germany -- cut off from the world

Although Claudia and the kids came back to Germany a week earlier, I arrived on September 11 in Frankfurt and then connected to Stuttgart. When I got home, I had some shocking news. Due to some remodeling/re-structuring of the building in which we live (the former Bible school building in Rudersberg), we had no Internet service in-house. In fact, it's taken a week for us to get back online.

The kids are now in their second week of school -- and it's been very hectic for us. The kids are in three different schools; each grade has their own schedule of afternoon classes. (In Germany, particularly in the lower grades, it is common that children do not have afternoon classes, or perhaps only one or two days in the week. To make it worse, sometimes they will not have class in their first school hour). So.... we're still sorting out the schedules.

In the meantime, Claudia has left me this weekend. She is attending a women's retreat in Wüstenrot. When she returns, we will have some friends to visit us -- Rob and Jeanne Kantas, formerly Charlottesville, VA.
