We met up with my friend Selma today at a park in Wiesbaden. It was the first time seeing her since we've been back in Germany. I met her and her son at the park last summer when we were staying here for 5 weeks. It was so nice to catch up and even meet her husband and also for Richie to meet them. We went and got EIS which is what the German's call icecream. We went to Dolce which is now my official favorite place for eis. They use all natural ingredients and also they have chunks of real fruit in it. I got plum and also chai tea latte eis. I have never had those flavors before and they were so good. The best eis in Wiesbaden. I remember going there last summer but I do not remember them having those unique flavors.

We went to church afterwards. Richie stayed in the van with Luna and Pace since they fell asleep. I took Josiah and Elee in. Richie came in later.

We got Elee's stuff ready for his first day of Kindergarten tomorrow. Matchhosen (raingear- because they play outside everyday no matter what kind of wheather), lunch (what they call breakfast or bread), some paperwork, extra change of clothes and slippers for class. It is really difficult for me trying to figure out how we are going to juggle the boys going to two different schools, dropping them off at the bus stop at different times and also them coming home at different times. Josiah's hours are always changing and that is very hard for me because I like routine. It is hard with Luna and Pace and wanting them to sleep-in in the mornings but I have to sometimes wake Pace to leave. Hopefully this will all work out and I can get the little ones on a normal nap-time sleeping schedule.
