We are an American family here for my husbands job. We speak very little German, although we are learning. I am a stay at home mom who could use a break occasionally! He works from home when he is here, but he also travels a lot. When he is here, we try to get a parents only date night in too. Our daughter is crawling, working on pulling up and probably walking soon. Shes very very curious and likes to explore and chatter. She loves to be read to and we are hoping to find someone who speaks both English and German to speak both languages her.
