Reading

We unplugged the TV (at least during the week). Philip is finally trying to read. I just ordered Hooked on Phonics Beginning Reading With Bible Stories. I hope to sit with him every afternoon and try to teach him to read in English. I'm going to try to teach Sarah (who is 4) to read too. I'll let the German school teach him to read in German. We have so much ground to make up. Something seems to finally be clicking in his brain, and he seems more teachable at last. Please pray for miracles!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
