I'm still learning what all of my responsibilities are here, but Olaf and Esther are really good about making sure they go through everything with me at least once to be sure that I understand my jobs. And they really don't expect all that much from me. Next week when Esther starts working again and starts going to physical therapy I will be a lot busier. She and Olaf both work primarily at home, but they spend almost all of that time in their office and are really busy. The good news is they also have a Putzfrau, a cleaning lady, and they don't expect me to clean the bathroom, do any dusting, clean the kids' rooms, or anything like that. And Esther also does all the laundry, including mine, so I don't have to worry about that either.

Today was a beautiful day. The sun was out and shining, but there was a slight breeze and it was pretty cold. It was 12 degrees C, but I still don't really know what that translates to in Fahrenheit. I do know that last night it was below freezing. Right now the sky is clouding up as I write this, and no doubt it will be raining before the sun goes down.

Tomorrow they let me drive the car for the first time to take the kids to Kindergarten. It's an automatic, so I don't have to worry about screwing that up. I just have to make sure I don't get lost. We'll see how this goes.
