Arrival in Lithuania!

Well, after 24 hours we finally arrived at our apartment in Klaipeda, Lithuania! It was a long trip but the kids both did quite well. We are now adjusting to life in a different country where we can't read anything or understand what people are saying. This makes things like grocery shopping very interesting. The first day we ended up with a bag of buttermilk instead of regular milk - not a hit with the kids, or with us either!!

The weather here has been beautiful so far so we have been able to do some walking around town. We have spent some time at the college already, as Kevin gets ready for his course starting on Monday. It is only about a 15 minute walk to school.

We are quite happy with the apartment that they found for us. It is quite spacious with lots of room for the kids to run around in. They are learning to find different things to do to keep themselves busy. We are also still adjusting to the time differences. Right now, the kids seem to think that 4:00am is a good time to be up for the day! Hopefully we can get that adjusted very soon as it makes for a very long day!!

Sorry there are no pictures with this post. We have to figure out yet how to get them off our camera using the computers here.

Thanks for your prayers - we appreciate them!!
