Changes

Just as the seasons are beginning to change so are things here. Gracie will be starting German kindergarten on Monday. I am nervous but I really think it will be good for her. She is a very shy little girl and I really think that she needs the interaction with other children. This is a much harder thing for me than her I am sure. She is my baby and because she is the last I think I hold on to tight sometimes. Also the only school she has been I have been a teacher there. And she won't have the wonderful Ms. Seri to keep her safe and in line :) She misses her school and friends there so much. I know that I totally need to chill out but still I am gonna miss her so much. I don't know what I will do with my time!! At her new school they will speak to her first in German and then in English so she will be able to learn the language also they have French a few days a week as well. I just hope she isn't too frustrated. That is a big fear of mine, I don't want her to feel incompetent becasue she just doesn't understand. So please say a little prayer for her on Monday maybe a little one for me too!

On another thought we went to the Bernkastle Weinfest this weekend. My camera is not working so I did not get any pictures but it was fun! They have a battle between the boat on the Mosel River and the castle. It was the most amazing fireworks I have seen! And that is saying alot because the fireworks at Ft. Bragg on July 4th are pretty amazing! The Mosel river runs right through the village and there are vinyards surrounding. It is a beautiful city. All the different people had their wine for sale it was a very carnival type atmosphere without all the rides and creepy people :)!

That is all for now!
