20 August (Friday)

A plumber came today to fix a leak in a pipe in our basement ceiling. We can finally use water on the top two floors now. We were without for several days. He couldn't speak any English and I can't German, so I got on google translator and we talked back and forth that way. It worked great and it was really funny.

Richie got a haircut last night. We went into downtown Wiesbaden to get Elee some matchhosen (raingear) for school. I laughed so hard when I saw his haircut. I kept thinking of the movie Zohan with Adam Sandler. All I could say was "Diiisco Diiisco". When he took a shower this morning though I have to say that it looked quite hot.

We ate at our Vietnamese restaurant and got Pho last night. It was delicious. Not the same as our favorite Vietnamese place back in Michigan but still good.

Getting ready for our housewarming party with some friends from church. That's tomorrow. So much to do. Making a lot of food and there's a lot to clean...especially since I had to wait to clean the bathrooms until the plumber came.
