A new year, a new town

So we've settled into our new place in Dusseldorf. Chiara is settling into a routine of going to kindergarten two mornings a week: Next week we'll add German classes for me and Todd into the mix. Todd's job is continuing to be challenging, but on the positive side he's had time to study new technologies. Chiara is talking up a storm these days - even more than her usual talkativeness. I think she's been inspired by the many audio stories that she listens to these days. She loves Winnie-the-Pooh and her current favorite is "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl.
